Exclusive First Listen to Marisha Wallace Singing "Listen" From DREAMGIRLS With Sharlene Hector From Her Album LIVE IN LONDON

It's a big day for Marisha Wallace fans! Westway Music and Center Stage Records have announced the release of the Olivier-nominated actress' solo album Live in London. The full album releases tomorrow Aug. 15 on streaming services and CD.

Wallace is currently performing on Broadway in Cabaret, making her the first Black actress to take on the iconic role of Sally Bowles on the Broadway stage. The album will feature both the title song from Cabaret, as well as her rendition of "Maybe This Time." She made her Broadway debut in Aladdin directed by Casey Nicholaw and, was part of the Original Broadway Cast of Something Rotten. A last-minute request to go to London to take over the role of Effie White in Dreamgirls in the West End, a role she was only supposed to do for three weeks, turned into eight years in the role. In the West End, she originated the role of Becky in Waitress, and was played Ado Annie in Director Daniel Fish's revival of Oklahoma! for which she was nominated for an Olivier Award.

‍The album was recorded in front of a full house at the Adelphi Theatre in March 2025.

Theatrely has an exclusive first listen to Wallace's duet with Sharlene Hector on "Listen" from Dreamgirls.

The album also includes "Some People" from Gypsy, "Mysterious Ways" from The Colour Purple, a Whitney Houston Medley, "The Gods of Nubia" from Aida, "Tomorrow" from Annie, and many more.

As part of the plan for the album, Wallace has also just launched an ambitious pledge campaign to enable her to create a three-disc vinyl version of the album.

“It has long been my dream to release a 12” record on vinyl, and I’m reaching out to my amazing fans to help support me in my dream," Wallace said in a statement. "There has been a wonderful resurgence in musical theatre releases on vinyl, particularly on Broadway, and I would love to have mine out in the world.”

Live in London is produced by Ben Robbins and Marisha Wallace and Executive Produced by Van Dean, Brian Spector, Michael Scott, Robbie Rozelle and Neil O’Brien.
