On my Cry-Baby cast album, around the 2:00 mark in "A Little Upset", you can totally hear a license plate fall and clatter on the ground.

James885, I hear exactly what you're talking about on the Miss Saigon recording (for those who can't hear it, be sure you're listening to the Symphonic Recording, not the OBCR), but what sounds like someone saying "No" (as in "No place...") I think is actually a French Horn. It took me a few listens to realize that though!

At the end of "Another Pyramid" it sounds like someone says "so funny"

If you have volume up loud enough, you can hear a lot of pages turning in the OBC of Chorus Line

Listening to "House of Flowers" recently (and remembering the reference from the book Not Since Carrie), I love the note on the word "like" in the last line of the song "I Never Has Seen Snow" where Diahann Carroll's voice breaks, so they recorded the note with Harold Arlen singing it.

BroadwayBound.... this was discussed a long time ago in another thread... but at the end of Another Pyramid it's actually Zoser saying "snuff him out" or something like that... completely intentional... i didn't know that was there until someone posted it on a thread... and i'd listened to the CD many times!

He's saying "suffocated"... foreshadowing, I suppose.

"Maybe its just me but towards the end of gimme gimme (from thoroughly modern mille) sutton needs to clear her throat or something"

I've totally always thought that, but thought it was just my CD. She must've had flem in her throat. Gross.

Does anybody else think Aaron Tveit sounds strangely robotic at 0:52 in the I'm Alive Reprise? I don't know if it's just me haha

Wow, I've never noticed this stuff before!!! This is awesome!!!!

This is not a flub but it is an interesting bit of trivia. On the original cast recording of They're Playing Our Song Eydie Gorme dubbed the last line of ?When You're In My Arms? for Lucie Arnaz.

The end of "The Final Goodbye" in Spelling Bee is not a flub, it is intentional. You can hear everyone in the cast adlibbing, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson chose "How do you turn this thing off." Deborah Craig says, "Check it." Both crack me up each time.

morsoco- Why did Gorme dub for Arnaz?

I read that those notes were not really in Lucie's range. In the theatre it didn't really matter but in the recording studio it mattered.

""Maybe its just me but towards the end of gimme gimme (from thoroughly modern mille) sutton needs to clear her throat or something"

I never noticed that. But I gave it a listen and I have a theory, lol.

When she says "he'll be a somebody, somebody..." she kinda croakes out the last syllable so I think she got a tickle in her throat. Either that or she inhales incorrectly after "I need it." Right after that is when her voice starts to sound really strained. She tries to clear it up with the few hard consonants left in the lyrics, but can't.
Nevertheless she still perfectly belts the hell out of the last note. Sutton FTW.

I'm not sure if my copy of Jersey Boys has a glitch or something but at 0:32 in "Big Girls Don't Cry" there's this really weird squeak that sounds like a mouse being stepped on

[musicalmack]

It's definitely not just your copy, Aswatrowinkenbo. I've got that squeak on mine too.

When the Rent movie soundtrack came out, on "Love Heals," you can hear someone who holds out the final note too long and goes over and continues singing till everyone is dropped out.

On the same soundtrack, Seasons of Love has some rustling that can be heard in the beginning.

Bump! I was listening to Memphis and in "Love Will Stand When All Else Fails" Montego Glover sounds painfully flat on that last note around 3:12ish...

I love this kind of stuff!

I can't give you a specific time stamp, but I love the mistakes in the 100 In The Shade overture from the OBC. There is one moment where there is a particularly big muff up with the brass section. Apparently the recording was from a warm up, though, and not intended for release. Still it made its way to my cd and it's great!

Hey, found this:

"There are numerous mistakes during the overture. According to Donald Pippin it was only used as a warm-up for the orchestra and never intended for inclusion on the original LP release. It was released on later CD release, without proper explanation of its existence, leaving many to point out mistakes in the playing."

I always thought Paul Sorvino's levels were off at the beginning of "Gifts of Love" as he comes off extremely loud than fades to normal volume. "DARLING I HAVE to start the bread for tomorrow..."

Towards the end of "I've Got You to Lean On" on the Anyone Can Whistle album, Angela Lansbury comes in way too early, but stops herself just after she sings "I" and picks it up again in the correct place a couple of seconds later. The orchestra at that point is playing so loud that it's not terribly distracting.

my next to normal cd has weird static going on in the middle of "I'm Alive" the first time I heard it I thought it was weird interference on my ipod feed from a radio station, THEN I realized I was listening to the cd...lol

also, in "I am" has anyone else noticed the bad autotune on "we've been FINE for so long now"....?? It bothers me

In Defying Gravity on the OBC of Wicked, after "everyone deserves a chance to fly" Idina squeaks, which just makes me laugh xD

Another related breathing issue is in the title song from RENT, on the OBC and OST (I think) you can constantly hear Anthony Rapp breathing erratically, which I just find annoying xD

Thirdly, on the recording of Les Miserables: The Dream Cast in Concert, in the prologue. At the first "Look Down" after the "Ah-ahs", one man carries on "ah-ah" for the upbeat only.

Also on the original cast of Anyone Can Whistle, on "Me & My Town, when the Boys are singing "Do do wah, do do wa", one boy (according to Harvey Evans it was Tucker Smith) does an extra "Do" after the other boys have stopped singing.
