Posted: 6/24/05 at 11:00pmAny idea when the cast recording will be coming out? Are they hoping to get the songs hit the charts as singles first (as sung by Elton John)?

Posted: 6/24/05 at 11:04pmWow, I'm out of it. Have they recorded it already? Does anyone know how they've handled the roles that are triple-cast?

Posted: 6/25/05 at 10:54amI recall that they will be released hopefully before new year. And I know for a fact that they will be having all 3 of them. But you will buy the one you see on the day. Don't ask me and i wanna know myself: how are they gonna classify the difference in the CDs OUTSIDE the theatre... like HMV or Virgin Megastores....

I think they will sell all 3 cd's with different covers in the stores...
I do wonder which of the boys is the best singer. I know that Liam is supposedly the best dancer (he was performing the night I went) and that one of the other two is relatively weak ( don't know which one). I wonder whom of the 3 is vocally strongest? I thought Liam was a fine singer but he definitely was a better dancer than a singer.

Sorry I know I'm not directly answering the question here but I'd just like to disagree with the rumour that one of the boys is a weak dancer. Yes, they are all very different and yes Liam is the best at the ballet but they each have their own strengths and I can say for a fact that none of them are weak. 3 boys were chosen out of 3,500 - do you really think they would choose someone who was a weak dancer? I personally think they are all amazing.

Posted: 6/26/05 at 6:07amI think all 3 Billys are good. It's their choreography which is different.

Electricity is being released as a single soon
The Cast CD will be released towards the end of the year. I think they are using the 3 Billys to sing different songs on the Cast CD.
