Ghostlight Records first released the Original London cast album to streaming and digital platforms on 30 May 2025, then issued a special two‑CD deluxe set on 27 February 2026. (music.apple.com) The release runs 38 tracks and clocks in at approximately 1 hour 44 minutes across its two discs. (music.apple.com) The recorded company features Caissie Levy in the Diana role, with Trevor Dion Nicholas and Jack Ofrecio among the six principal performers, and Levy’s West End turn earned an Olivier nomination for Best Actress in a Musical. (music.apple.com) The physical two‑CD package includes a deluxe booklet containing full lyrics, colour production photography and an exclusive Composer’s Note from Tom Kitt. (theartsshelf.com) The cast recording is one element of a wider release strategy: the stage production was filmed for cinema distribution (UK release set for 11 September 2025) and the Donmar/Wyndham’s transfer also aired on PBS’s Great Performances on 9 May 2025, with an uncensored cut later scheduled to stream on BroadwayHD. (nexttonormalfilm.com) Early coverage singled out the recording’s emotional clarity and performances—LondonTheatre1 ran a positive full review while MusicalTheatreReview awarded five stars and WestEndTheatre highlighted Jack Wolfe’s recorded take on “I’m Alive” in a first‑listen feature.
