Hey,
I have a question concerning FALSETTOS. Was there ever a recording made of FALSETTOS? I know that both MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS and FALSETTOLAND were recorded. I have them both, but I don't know which order they go in...
HELP.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

Posted: 1/22/08 at 8:44pmThere never was one made, and though it was pretty close to the originals, there were a few revisions. Hopefully one day they'll release one.

Here's the history.
First there was "In Trousers". That was recorded.
Then there was "March of the Falsettos". that was recorded.
Then came "Falsettoland" that was recorded.
Then "March..." and "Falsettoland..." with the addition of "I'm Breaking Down" from "In Trousers" were put together and taken to Broadway as "Falsettos".
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 1/22/08 at 11:50pmThey made a 2 CD package of March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland when Falsettos opened. The song I'm Breaking Down was not on it because it was originally added to In Trousers in LA. It is available on Allison Fraser's CD.

Posted: 1/23/08 at 2:37amAlthough Falsettos is very close to the originals, one can't really say that those CD's put together is Falsettos. The Broadway production had quite a few lyric changes, additions and new segments - wish they could record Falsettos as it opened on Broadway.

Posted: 1/23/08 at 4:31amI believe LA Theatre works did a concert version with most of the origianl cast whhich was broadcast live (On radio) and available as an audio download.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

"Trina's Song" was one of the most extensively rewritten numbers, and the revised version should be on the Make Me a Song album.
(that's still happening, right?)
