Broadway's newest star, Laura Osnes - Tony-nominated for her leading role in Bonnie and Clyde and currently starring in the title role of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella - takes on the work of one of the Great White Way's most celebrated composer-lyricists. Laura Osnes: IF I TELL YOU (Songs of Maury Yeston) is the first solo album devoted to songs by the Tony-winning composer of Nine: The Musical, Grand Hotel, Titanic and Death Takes a Holiday. Yeston waited nearly thirty years before allowing a solo disc devoted to his work, but he found the perfect interpreter in Osnes, with her crystalline soprano, her delicate yet devastating way with a lyric, and her youthful effervescence and intensity. Drawn from Osnes's sold-out performances at 54 Below in November of 2012, IF I TELL YOU includes a generous selection of Yeston's musical theatre songs (including several handpicked for this album and receiving their first recording here), as well his ravishing December Songs. Following the 54 Below dates, a writer for Playbill.com hailed Osnes's "sophisticated powerhouse performance that had me weeping in public. " Now that memorable performance is lovingly preserved in a new studio recording.
