Is this going to happen? I"m getting the feeling that it may not...

I hope it does...I love the score in Acts 1 and 2
there are no plans for a recording of this production.
The lackluster reviews probably killed any chance of a recording, like it did with Roundabout's THREEPENNY revival.
Yes, there is.
PS Classics has picked this up in addition to 110 IN THE SHADE.
really? is there a link for that news? i was informed that offer has now been nixed.
There were talks Foa, but its been months since anything else has come about. I'm assuming its not happening, though, nobody thought the Pacific OVertures revival would be recorded but it eventually came to be after the show closed.
It hasn't been nixed, they're still promoting the album at the theater.
I really, really hope they go through with it. I really want a recording of this show!
the latest buzz is that it's being recorded after the show closes with a release date in April or early May
That has been the buzz since the show started previews.
This may be a dumb question but if they are to release a cast recording, wouldn't it be better to do it while the show is still running so they could sell it at the theatre? Make more money? A person who is seeing the show and likes it may buy a CD if it is right in front of their face, but not necessarily go looking to buy it a few months after they saw it. IF they are planning on recording, what's the point of waiting a few months?
I do know that 110 is being recorded by PS Classics. Just in case anyone took that as being old news along with The Apple Tree.
Many limited runs have had Cast Recordings well after the show closed.
I'd assume Ps Classics would hook up again with Nonesuch for 110, since Audra has a record deal with them.
Ooooh i'm excited for 110! And The Apple Tree... if it happens.
Good. I'm going to run the the nearest Best Buy once it's released.
I know many have been recorded after the show closed, but I'm asking if the company knows they are going to record something why wouldn't they do it while it was still running as opposed to waiting.
Time may be a factor in why it may not be recorded until after the show... Just guessing...
I certainly hope this happens. The music is beautiful, and I would love a recording featuring Kristin. I agree that they could have sold a great deal of albums at the show.

I sent an email to PS Classics asking about the truth to the rumors, and this was their response...
"Thanks for writing. I'm afraid that one's just a rumor. Some record label may well be looking at recording APPLE TREE, but it's not us."

I heard from one source that Sony Classical, the label that Kristin belongs to, might be recording it and one person asked the merchandise counter guy about it and they said that it will be released in April.
