Profile for #1CarrieFan

I never had listened to and didn't see the original The Color Purple. I cannot stop playing the revival cast of this show. It is absolutely exilerating and I never have dry eye at its conclusion. Kudos to this cast for introducing me to such a wonderful show!

In no particular order: Parade, B. C., Bridges of MC, Carrie, Merrily we roll along.

 

I am going to give this another try! Has anybody heard any facts, innuendos and/or rumors about this cast making an original cast album? Previously when I did this post somebody suggested that Nonesuch Records was going to do a recording but I recieved a note from them this past week that said such a recording session was NOT on their schedule. If anybody knows anything let me know!

 

so boardwayphiles what's the inside scoop of why I'm not hearing of  OBCR of Shuffle Along....??? Like a fool I got all excited when I saw "Shuffle" on Amazon right after opening night only to find out when the CD arrived that it was literally the original 1921 cast! With this show doing boffo why aren't those of us living in the hinterlands getting to find out how long we have to wait for the recording. 

I had heard not positive things from theater goers who saw this show at the Kennedy Center. I went ahead and purchased the OCBR and have found my self listening over and over again to this wonderful story, cast and score. I'm rooting heavily for this one! 

The worst musicals would be: Flash Dance, Chu Chem, Once. 

What is the word on the street of when the following cast recordings will be made and released. 

Obviously Waitress and Shuffle Along with be made, do you guys think the American cast of American Psycho and the new show Tuckeverlasting stand a chance of being made??

Your thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated.

We had fun when I did a similar posting about one month ago, thanks for all of your responses and input. Let's take another look at what's going to be happening in the new season. Looking forward to your feedback!

Let's start off by assuming these shows and there venues are not going to change:

I know I am starting this very early, BUT let's put our collective boardway minds at work and predict the future. Let's start off by assuming these shows and there venues are not going to change. 

The color purple @ Bernard B. Jacobs 

Waitress @ Brooks Atkinson 

School of Rock @ Winter Garden 

Fun Home @ Circle in the Square 

Book of Mormon @ Eugene O Neill 

Wicked @ The Gershwin 

Living out here in the hinterlands I am no going to have an opportunity to get to NYC during the run of this fun sounding musical. With this stellar cast has anybody heard if there is going to be an OBC recording of the show. I'm hoping some of you guys can confirm this for me. 

The show that comes to my mind right away is Triumph of Love. We saw it three times in Boltimore and twice stayed for the conversation with the creative team. Once it moved to NYC we were devistated to say the least from what was on stage. Who wasn't on stage for our performance and apparently for most of its very brief B,way run was Betty Buckley. I guess that should of been our que when Buckley jumped ship when the show moved to NYC. 

I am extremely disappointed to hear about the post holiday closing of Dames. It is exciting that The Humans will be replacing Dames. I'm all for introducing this young playwright to Broadway. My big question, which I hope someone can answer, is will Dames have a new Broadway cast recording released?

I'm not quite sure if I'm feeling like one of the old fogie muppets that sit in the balcony, but how refreshing to come on the message board today and read something interesting and more enjoyable than the usual snark!

I would get tickets for The Noises Off comedy as soon as sales begin. If this holds any candle to the original Broadway production you will be in for a great treat. I am holding out for the West End reviews for The Father but I would almost see anything with Frank Langella whom they've announced for the Broadway run of at MTC.

Hands down my answer to this topic would be OBC recording of Carrie, with Linzie Hately and Betty Buckly. I swear you guys this as can Mandelbaun points out was a theatrical high. I also wish for recordings of The Three Penny Oprah with Sting, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever with Jesse and I remain a sucker wishing for the production of A Change In The Heir that took place at the old Edison Theater.

When I posted my previous message, I'm embarrassed that I left out one of my all-time favorite composers, who I feel would deserve a theater named after him: Cy Coleman.

What a great thread! Play write wise there is no question it could be Williams, or Miller. I think without a doubt that the Richard Rogers should become the RR and Oscar Hammerstein long long past due. It would be inspiring to enter a Comden and Green, a Cander and Ebb, and/or and Irving Berlin.
