Per Terri White's twitter page, Follies is getting a cast album!
Let the celebrations (and I'm sure some grumbling about inevitable cuts or casting quibbles) begin!

I wonder what label it'll be on. I'm guessing PS Classics, since they're the go-to for Sondheim recordings.
If that is the case, and Goldman's widow allowing, we'll undoubtedly get a very complete recording with dialogue.
Would LOVE a recording with the Prologue/Overture dialogue!
WOW!

Got word today that we'll be doing a cast recording.
PS Classics is producing.
And they're doing it right. Two CD set. The entire score.
This production has such class.
According to Danny Burstein's facebook status, it will be 2 discs with the entire score preserved.
As I was watching the show I was praying for this!
Bravo!
Peter's performance alone deserves this.
YAY! This makes me soooo happy!

I'm positively beaming with excitement at the mere thought of hearing the overture on the cd with that orchestra...
Yay! Finally, the Papermill recording won't be my only go to option for a complete recording.
I second that, CATS.
I figured PS Classics would snatch it up, but it's great to have official word on it. So excited! This is 1 of Krasker's dream shows to record, so I imagine it will be spectacular!
I was also told today by a cast member that there will be a recording
Any chance a cut song or two will be a bonus track?
Any chance a cut song or two will be a bonus track?
I doubt it, as the Papermill recording documented/recorded many cut songs.
I just really hope Mrs. Goldman lets them use dialogue!!!
Of course, a few certain members on ATC are pissing all over this news. It never fails to amaze me how angry/bitter/grumpy some of those men are.

Indeed. I mean I do love the loveland-less OBC but how can this possibly be a bad thing?
DIALOGUE PLEASE!!!!!!!!! So future generations will understand what the show is about.....
when I was a teen first addicted to Sondheim.... I had no idea what the fudge Follies was about... I read up on it, synopsis, reviews, recordings.... and was still pretty clueless.... DIALOGUE PLEASE!!!!
LOVE, the Night Music recording with Dialogue it makes everything so clear....
I am overjoyed to read this! This weekend is turning out to be nothing but GOOD for me!
I love when that happens.
I honestly, could care less about the dialogue -- I'm just thrilled that it's going to be a 2cd recording!
Guesses on when it can be released assuming they go into the recording studio before this month is over? I'm guessing October at the earliest? Thoughts?
No
There are three recordings.
There are no fewer than 7 recordings of Gypsy.
Follies has four recordings:
Original Broadway Cast
Original London Cast
Philharmonic Concert
Papermill Playhouse Cast (Complete Recording)
There was also an album of the jazz trio The Trotter Trio entitled "Follies... in Jazz", part of Bruce Kimmel's Sondheim in Jazz series.
Count this angry/bitter/grumpy man (who rarely reads ATC let alone posts there) as delighted.
Someone put together an extended Overture/Prologue sequence on YouTube. Let's hope this recording keeps that entire sequence intact, as well as all of Loveland.
