Cast Albums that will never be......

Posted: 10/1/08 at 8:12pm

Just curious...what show/shows do you really wish had a recording?

Me personally I would say
Thunder Knocking on the Door Off broadway cast
One Mo Time Revival cast
Civil War OBC
No No Nanette Encore cast

And not to mention Cry-Baby


These are not my most favorite shows but I love some of the music from them.

At least Lestat was recorded and might some day be released. Some of these others we need to just get over and hope for great revival cast recordings. But then there are great revivals that have gone unrecorded too...

Like the 2004 La Cage aux Folles. It still makes me sick that it was never recorded. And there were labels that tried, too. The producers wouldn't give a cent to the endeavor. A travesty.

Salene:
there is a recording of the Norwegian Les Miz

and I really hope that they do a HAIR Revival recording with the cast from Central Park.

Add me to the La Cage fans. That production and cast should never have been allowed to just go away without a recording.

Did the truth regarding the rumoured Cry-Baby recording ever come out? I remember there was Facebook pictures of the entire cast in the recording studio, but then it was denied any such thing was done.

I think Cry-Baby was recorded, because I also remember seeing pictures of the cast in a recording studio. What probably happened was the the show closed before the details of the release could be worked out.

None of these productions were recorded but I wish they did:

Miss Saigon 1991 Original Broadway Company

2006 Broadway Revival of Les Miserables with Lea Salonga as Fantine and Mandy Bruno as Eponine

I wanted Lestat, The Apple Tree with Kristen, and as far as I know only the original West End cast of Mamma Mia has been recorded. Am I wrong or did Louise Pitre and Co. record their songs. I would love Next To Normal.

"I hope that somewhere out there Sondheim has a complete Follies OBCR in his attic."

Actually, it's in his dunge...uh... basement. He uses it to lure young men down there.

"I WANT LESTAT
RIGHT NOW "

You have the opportunity to say "I want LESTAT stat!" and you don't take it?

Sondheim apparently has always been mystified by these rumors. His townhouse doesn't even have a basement.
