ALMOST FAMOUS Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread

That seems like a long time to wait, considering it opens next week.

Some cast albums recently have been recorded and released with a quick turnaround so five months does seem like a bit of a wait since we know post production doesn’t generally take that long. There must be a reason they want to drop the album in March.

Carlos, two songs are in tact. "Tiny Dancer" actually sounds better because it's not a sing a long, it's professional singers beautifully singing. And "The Wind" is sung gorgeously by Solea who has one of most thrilling, ethereal voices I've ever heard. It's worth seeing just for her. Trust.

I’m always a bit confused when shows choose to wait so long after opening to release their cast albums. In todays world, a cast album has to be one of the most effective marketing tools in getting people interested in a show, so I would assume they would want to get them out as quickly as possible.

I can understand Music Man not having to rush to get it out, as there was plenty of hype around the show just by virtue of Hugh & Sutton's name recognition. Plus, with it being a revival, almost everyone knows the music by now. Almost Famous, on the other hand, would be a show that I suspect could only benefit by getting a cast album out as soon as possible.

Everyone has said that. Shockingly, he isn't the Messiah of BWW. Thank God.

Also, everyone who has seen or even heard of the movie know it's about that music era. Not a mystery, Brah.

The company performing “Fever Dog Bows”:

The full album is finally out! Who's listening?

Wasn't the biggest fan of the show itself but I found the score absolutely ravishing. And this cast glorious. Their voices are incredible and this album has something that I feel most (not all) contemporary cast albums have: the cast sounding absolutely in love with what they are singing. I can feel their energy, love and passion for the music, the story, and for each other literally pouring through their performances. I will be having this on repeat many a summer night.

Loved the show, loving the album!
