"This new release will be a deluxe, two-disc recording that captures the 95-minute musical in its entirety. More than 15 minutes of previously unrecorded music (unheard on the original 1998 Off-Broadway cast album) will be included here for the first time."
Jordan, are you really surprised? BWW is known for deleting threads that actually matter and keeping accounts like the pinto thing around without batting an eye.
I'm excited about this, not because I am fond of the music, but because I need more records featuring the wonderful Ana Gastayer in my life. I love that she got such great reviews for this and can't wait to listen to her rendition of "Mother's Gonna Make Things Fine" and "The Music Still Plays On."
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
I hope PS Classics programs the CD so that the dialogue is on separate tracks and can easily be skipped. I love the score to this show (especially Jason Robert Brown's fantastic arrangement of "And They're Off"), but I doubt I'll want to hear the dialogue over and over.
I just pre ordered this and it's now coming out on February 5th, but I noticed that the description said that Christian Borle is featured on it. I'm pretty sure that he wasn't in the Encores! production. Does anyone know if he replaced Fogler on the recording?

Hm, that's very strange. It does seem like Christian Borle will be playing Mr. Bungee on the recording (simply based on Dan Fogler's absence from the list). I didn't see the production, sadly, but I feel like I heard mixed opinions on Fogler's performance.
