Chess - 2003 Benefit Recording
(Yes, I realize it was made but wasn't released due to issues with Groban's record label.)

Posted: 12/2/06 at 11:12pmI'm actually sitting here writing up a Christmas wish list deal, wishing that there was some sort of miracle La Cage aux Folles revival recordng I could ask for.

DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES and LESTAT, although short lived on stage should have been recorded. The huge amounts of money spent on those two shows should have included studio time for a CD.
It seems that just about every show I have seen this year, whether early in the run or not, highly successful or not, either has a CD (WEDDING SINGER, SHOUT, THE MUSICAL, ETC.) or plans for one (HIGH FIDELITY). Okay, not THE TIMES, but I would even want that one, since the music was fine; just the lack of story made it stink. As a fan, I am happy to see that something will remain behind when most of these shows close, but couldn't this mindthought have been in vogue for LENNON as well????
LENNON had a score and cast of voices that should have been recorded early on, but never was because...of...although most of the songs were already recorded by John Lennon, the cast performances were terrific and these different voices would have made an outstanding CD. It doesn't matter if you liked the show (although I LOVED it), most people agree that the talent was amazingly awesome and plentiful and deserved to be preserved on CD.

Smile... Smile... a MILLION times Smile. The Broadway version wasn't good.. but the revised version is BRILLIANT and the demo is not enough.
Incidentally, could we get a Jerry Mitchell revival of it as well?
Also, The Wiz - La Jolla Production. If it doesn't go to New York SOMEONE needs to record it. It was wonderful.

Bare: A Pop Opera - the 11 tracks were not enough!
Lestat - I'm not going to lie. I'm just curious about how bad it really was
James Joyce's The Dead - This was one of the first musicals I saw on Broadway and I've always wanted to hear it again.
Les Mis Revival - I guess it's not final if it will be made or not, but I really want to hear it and probably won't be able to make it to NYC in time to see it.
there are probably more, but I can't think of them right now...

Posted: 12/3/06 at 7:34amI go with Smile (Marvin Hamlisch/Howard Newman) too. Arguably the great lost American Musical. There has been plenty of opportunity for this to get to disc, but Hamlisch won't sanction it, Newman's estate does...

Posted: 12/3/06 at 8:58amWoman In White NYC production. All those wonderful voices. Ron Bohmer, Jill Paice, Adam Brazier, Angela Christian, Maria Friedman's "All For Laura" was awesome, and Michael Ball's "You Can Get Away With Anything" a great piece of theatre. Much better than the London production.

I forgot to add CURLEY McDIMPLE! A hit 1967 Off-Broadway musical that spoofed the Shirley Temple films of the 1930s. Bernadette Peters played the Alice Faye-type character.
Shockingly Capitol Records DID record the show but never released the record! What a waste!

I never pass the Broadhurst without wishing there was a Lennon cast recording.

Les Mis tour with Randal Keith. I don't care who else is in the tour at the time, as long as it has Randal Keith!!!!
I'd love to hear a recording with Jeff Edgerton as the understudy Leo Frank in Parade.
The Light in the Piazza Chicago/Seattle cast.
And.. this upcoming Sunday in the Park with George production with Kelli O'Hara!

Thought of another: The Scarlet Pimpernel with Douglas Sills, Rachel York, and Rex Smith. And I mean a complete recording, not like what we got on Encore.
I also would not object to one with Ron Bohmer and Carolee Carmello.
