I can’t find anywhere that credits Brian d’Arcy James as a performer on this album. However, his official website does list the album in the Recordings section so I’ve included it here also. He probably appears on the three tracks by Broadway All-Stars. I have listened and there is one voice in there that sounds like him, but I can’t be sure!
