Cast Recordings - People In The Picture/Death Takes A Holiday?

We saw Death yesterday and both of us thought it was great.

Both Yeston & Meehan were there. Yeston was lounging outside before we came in . Meehan was sitting in the last row right by the sound man.

After the performance, I approached Meehan . Mrs R told him she loved the book. I told him that (I realize we are in the minority here) we both like Crybaby & YF. He really appreciated the comment. I also told him they should have brought Annie Warbucks to Broadway & that was a major regret of Mr M. He was very friendly & down to earth

The same thing with Mr Y. In answer to your question, Maury said there will be one (recording). I asked him if it was coming to Broadway and again he answered in the affirmative. I finally asked him about Goya & Queen of Basin Street. All he would say was he was working on Goya (whatever that means) & he contractually could not do Queen due to La Cage

It was previously reported in a thread here that People would have a cast album so the answer to your question is there will be one for both.

I'd take both of those statements with a grain of salt.

So have they recorded The People in the Picture yet?

The people who were supposed to record it on Monday, of course!!

^ Maybe the show will get a cast recording, but there is not a snowball's chance that it's moving to Broadway. That's some wishful thinking on Mr. Yeston's part.

I saw Death Takes a Holiday and sat across from Meehan in the last row on Saturday afternoon. He and Yeston were talking before the show and they were talking Broadway. I wanted to speak to both of them but they were deep into conversation. Planned to speak to them after the show but I wasn't crazy about the score and didn't want to have to say I loved it to Mr. Yeston. But I have heard that there will be a recording. There are 3 songs I really enjoyed and I would but the recording for those.

Thank you, PStoller2.

I love Yeston's work, but the man has an ego to swamp the entire eastern seaboard.

If you had asked him, "Will it win the Tonys next season for score and musical?," he would have answered, "I've already built a shelf for them."

Lestat was recorded but never released.This looks like it will suffer the same fate but for a different reason.

I got an email today from PS Classics telling me that Death had been shipped.

So I am assuming that People and the Picture Cast Recording is not going to happen anymore

I have been anxiously waiting for news about People In The Picture - thank you so much, bk!!
