has there been word on if any of following shows will record:

TOMMY

ILLINOISE 

CABARET (long shot as the London one has Eddie)

Someone on the Illinoise review thread stated that a cast member confirmed they were indeed recording a cast album, but there was no specific recording date given. Since it just opened last week, I would assume it could be this week or next.

Shocked that the Tommy album hasn’t been announced/recorded yet. Wonder what they’re waiting for?

Perhaps the Grammy nomination cutoff?

I can't imagine Hell's Kitchen won't get a cast recording, and I'm guessing Heart of Rock and Roll will probably get one.

I'm guessing that aside from the shows that have pre-transfer equivalent albums (Cabaret, Here Lies Love, BTTF) the only major musical this season that won't be getting a cast recording is Spamalot - unless there are plans for that one we aren't party to, of course.

Heart of Rock and Roll recorded their album in March.

Cabaret has done an EP with Sally/Emcee replacements in London. Honestly, I’d love an EP with Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell’s numbers.

Recording a cast album or recording the promo tracks?

It’s very unclear whether these sessions are just for promo tracks or for the cast album

It's very clear. Their instagram account says they were recording promo tracks and Tommy doesn't sing "Pinball Wizard" except for the reprise and they weren't recording the reprise.

Still no word on a Tommy cast recording. I really thought they would’ve announced it by now.

Maybe there’s nothing to announce.

From a rights/royalties perspective, I wonder if the producers are still in negotiations with the band's business arm (or whoever controls The Who's catalog...) I hope something gets worked out because I really want a recording with the updated orchestrations. Parts of the OBC instrumentation really bug me...

They finished recording yesterday! I’m kind of surprised this process was so long, they were recording before opening.

I hope that all the 2023-2024 broadway season shows all get cast cd made not just auto files

So Tommy is the only show left that hasn’t announced/recorded a cast album?

Well, Spamalot, but I don't think that was ever in the cards.

I was reading a piece in The New Yorker, about Rachel Chavkin, that referenced a forthcoming cast album of LEMPICKA. This may have been covered on another thread, but is there an imminent cast recording of LEMPICA? I know there were three cuts from a 2022 recording that have been released…but I’m wondering if a complete Broadway Cast Album is coming?

They announced it weeks ago, however, it's been delayed at least once now, if not twice. Its original release date was May 29, then July 5, and now, potentially per Amazon, July 19.
