Please give them a cast recording.
Maybe that will stop the madness.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 10:23amNo it won't. That will bring on the "If only the show could've stayed running til the Grammy nominations... it's sure to get nominated and that woulda boosted ticket sales and then if it won, the Broadway transfer would have been a definite 100% possibility."

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:01pmI can't wait to hear this first cast album and look forward to many more.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:04pmPerhaps when it's removed from the context of its mediocre book and staging, people will finally be able to not appreciate its mediocre score.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:06pmI hope they record it with a big washy-echoey orchestra, just like the 1950s and '60s.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:20pmI'd pay double to own that, actually.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:25pmOh, good. Ghostlight can add $50 to their coffers with this.

Posted: 5/24/12 at 5:26pmDoes anyone know when the release date is for this recording? There is very little info on the website.

Posted: 5/24/12 at 11:51pmIt seems that this production really illuminated Betty Buckley as the sole reason for the "legendary" status of at least parts of the score. I love Marin Mazzie and her incredible talent to no end, but "Eve Was Weak" and others lost any power and impact without the vocal and acting powerhouse of Ms. Buckley.

I've introduced new people (well person) to Marin Mazzie's "Eve Was Weak" (i.e. they haven't heard Buckley) and they found it powerful. She didn't quite belt the high notes in the song like Buckley did, but I still think it was a powerful performance. I can't wait to hear it on the cast recording. I get more from her other performances in the show (How Those Boys Could Dance, When There's No One {although not Evening Prayers}) than Buckley.*
* This is mainly based on audio recordings

Posted: 5/25/12 at 10:30pmI don't know the exact date, but i believe it is sometime in early fall.

Posted: 5/26/12 at 7:50amAre you guys trying to say that "Eve Was Weak" was weak?

Posted: 6/19/12 at 7:31pmIs it fairly common for a cast head into the studio and still have no release date two months later?
#40Carrie to be preserved
Posted: 6/19/12 at 7:33pmBonnie & Clyde took almost 2 months to announce their release date.
#41Carrie to be preserved
Posted: 6/19/12 at 10:29pmI thought I read that the release is supposed to be August 1?
#42Carrie to be preserved
Posted: 6/20/12 at 12:14am^That's what people are saying, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
#43Carrie to be preserved
Posted: 6/20/12 at 1:15amAs a huge fan of Marin's, I was very disappointed by her "Eve". Not sure if she wanted to make sure it was "her own" but some of her choices really just didn't work, I thought. I still only listen to Betty sing it and probably always will.

Posted: 6/20/12 at 1:39amI think Marin was directed that way. She's such a smart actress, I find it difficult to believe she'd have pulled back that much on her own.
