The music from the show adds a dimension to the stage version of THE GRAPES OF WRATH that many didn't see coming after just having read the book.
True to the novel, the play is an entirely different experience than most expect, in part because of the lush live musical soundtrack that accompanies audiences night-after-night through the heartland of 1930's America. It's a joyous experience, fast-paced with heartfelt songs and a lush, emotionally evocative and stimulating musical score.
Without further ado, here are music downloads recorded by cast members from ZACH's production of THE GRAPES OF WRATH (click on the links to hear the tracks, or save them by right clicking and choosing 'Save As'):
