Hello, this is Lillias White, and I'm here at Playbill
to give you a sneak peek of my brand new album.
Get Yourself Some Happy.
I had the time and I have
had a producer, Joshua Sherman is the producer of the album,
and he has a beautiful brand new state of the art studio
up in Arlington, Vermont , East Arlington, Vermont.
Joshua, where we've been friends for a very long time.
He's always wanted to produce an album on me, and it just happened.
It was the right time and we had the right things together.
So he made a list.
I made a list. And Timothy Graphenreed
the late great Timothy Graphenreed was my musical director for decades.
We he made a list and he was our he was the one that put the music together.
He did the arrangements.
I had my two cents here and there, and Josh had his two cents here and there.
But Timothy, basically the arrangements that we put this album together,
we did it in a matter of over a week or two.
I want to say up in Arlington, Vermont,
we wanted to record something that would uplift people.
This was we recorded this before the pandemic.
And so we had no idea that, you know, this music was going to be so vital
and so important to so many people at this time.
I hope that they are able to reminisce about happier times.
I hope that they get up and move around and dance
and and I hope it lifts their spirits
and makes them realize that, you know, it's a gift to be alive
and to and to love is to and to share love and give love as a gift
. Music is, I think, an
ultimate gift of love for the people who created and express it.
And and I'm hoping that everybody gets the good feelings
that we have intended with this. This recording.
It's thrilling. It's thrilling.
I have a brand new, very sexy costume from William Ivey Long.
And we have a great cast,
a great orchestra, really seasoned, fine musicians.
And it's the kind of music that you even if I'm on stage.
It's a joy to listen to.
OK, coming up, November 1st, I'm doing an interview with a 90 Second Street Y,
and then on November 12th, I'm going to be presenting
a tribute to Sarah Vaughan at NJPAC November 12th.
So I'm doing that.
And what else is happening?
Chicago all the time.
And now here is when you wish upon a star.
Oh. When you wish upon a star.
It makes no difference who you are.
Think your heart desires.
We'll come it will come to you. Oh.
If your heart is in your dream.
No request is too extreme.
When you wish upon
a star. as dreamers do.
Fate is kind. She brings to those
who love. The sweet
fulfillment of, their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue.
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true
Your Dreams, Your Dreams. Come true.
Anything, anything.
Your heart desires.
Will come to you.
When you wish when you wish one, you wish.
