Throwing my wishes into the fountain...
Sherry (I know there is the studio cast but I would love to hear the divine Dolores Gray tear into the title song)
that Jay studio recording of Anyone Can Whistle that has been sitting in the vault since the mid90s
West End Guys and Dolls starring Jane Krakowski and Jenna Russell
Like others have said, I wish there were full recordings of the original prodcutions of Dreamgirls, Follies, The Wiz and I'll add A Chorus Line into the mix.
Also, I wish that there was more of a vogue for recording new leads in musicals a la Sunset Boulevard rerecording many of the Normas or that Annie Get Your Gun sampler with Reba singing a few of Annie's solos. In this age of mp3 and itunes, I would think it would be pretty cheap. I mean, I get I'm never going to have a recording of Carolee Carmello singing ABBA songs but I'd love to have a studio recording of, say, Darlene Love singing "I Know Where I've Been." Also, if I can use my waybackmachine, let's get Annie Miller to record Mame (and pick up Judy along the way to sing the scores of Gypsy and Mame and Follies).
