I originally posted here, but it was buried beyond recognition, so I'll try again:

Again, I do not work for the production.

And ignore the posting twice. Not spamming, just computer's acting all wonky.

It's buried until someone replies to it. Expect these two new threads to be deleted, most likely.

I recently ordered the cast recording of the National Theatre's production and I cannot stop listening to it. It is mesmerizing. The freshest thing I've heard in years. Has anyone heard anything about it coming to Broadway?

It did quite well at the National theatre, but there is no way it will come to Broadway. It involves an incident most Americans have never even heard of, and it didn't even do well enough at the National to warrant a west end or even off-west end transfer. I love the score, but it just won't happen.

Where can I find the recording? Can't find it on Amazon.

Canada Stage did a production in Toronto last Jan that was a huge success with critics and audiences, despite few Canadians knowing the true story. That said it was only a month long engagement--I could see maybe a short run Off-Broadway, but Broadway?

Anyone who's lived in an area where a serial killer is on the loose can relate to this show.

Ripped Man, the only way to get the cast recording is through the National Theatre shop.
BTW there is a film adaptation planned for this show in 2015 or 2016

PS: I'd not heard of the murders and find the recording absolutely riveting.

^ I saw that but assumed that international shipping would drive the price way up.
