I agree in general. But just for some random information, apparently SHOSHANA BEAN came to Australia for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival because of a facebook petition.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
Anyone want to throw out if they know how much this would cost the show? Only a little flat carboard with the disc inside, 3 songs. What I picture is the single CDs like Glee's Dont Stop Believin last summer, but just 2 more tracks.
If they just brought Bernadette and Elaina into a Studio and recorded every song they are in over the recording that's already made, would they have to pay the actor's who are already on the recording again? Thats what they did with Brooke Shields replaced Donna Murphy in Wonderful Town. I doubt they had to re-pay that entire cast. If that's true a sampler, if it was released in stores, and a full cd would probably cost the same to make.
They did a CD sampler for Betty Buckley in Sunset, so it can't cost that much and that show was a flop. A CD sampler of Peters and Stritch in a hit show would sell well.

How is it such a hassle to put only a small goup of people (a Fredrika, The other GL people, Alexander Hanson, Bernie, and Stritchie) in a studio to sing with all music ready, and then to release it and have it sell well? Worth it, plus its just amazing.
Bettyboy brings up a good point with the fact that Sunset did record it with Buckley, not to mention epically flop, and although we dont know yet, NIGHT MUSIC should so well for the summer with 2 "stars".
All they need is Bernadette and Elaine. They can place their vocals in with the pre-existing chorus vocals, etc. That's what the Weisslers did with Grease and Wonderful Town.
I would love a sampler with Clowns, Glamorous AND Liaisons. They would obviously include Stritch's big solo.
True, for a moment there I was doubting my own opinion when sombody mentioned her doing the song. Lansbury freakin talked it, so what do I care. They would NEVER not include her on a sampler for the "new cast".
I wrote directly to Tommy Krasker of PS Classics suggesting they re-record "Send in the Clowns" and "Liaisons" with the existing orchestra tracks and make them available for digital download. He wrote back and said they'd be talking about it with Nonesuch. crossing fingers.
