For The Record (FTR) is a breakthrough, genre-bending form of live entertainment, turning the soundtracks of iconic films into thrilling immersive theatrical experiences. What began in 2010 on a cabaret stage in East Hollywood and quickly became a “must-see show” in Los Angeles, a hit special event in NYC, Chicago, at SXSW in Austin and the Montreal International Jazz Festival, FTR has since created BAZ: Star Crossed Love, “the best spectacular you might ever watch” (Las Vegas Sun) at the Palazzo Theater in Las Vegas, SCORSESE: American Crime Requiem at The Wallis in Beverly Hills, which was nominated for 11 Ovation Awards and won the BroadwayWorld Award for Best Musical in Los Angeles and The Brat Pack, the “overwhelmingly popular” show on the Norwegian Escape, voted one of the “best stage shows at sea.” FTR has also set a new standard for concert celebrations, including Night Divine at The Apollo Theater starring Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo.
 
FTR shows defy easy categorization. They have become the premier theater company for reimagining popular culture - movies, albums, and entire catalogs - as theatrical worlds, immersed in rock ‘n’ roll with a story to tell.
