Big news for @FalsettosBway fans! The Original Broadway Cast Recording w this extraordinary group of actors is OFFICIALLY a GO! #falsettos??

Fantastic! It'll be so nice to have an official recording of the final version of the material. I wonder which label is doing it. My guess would be PS Classics.
YES
I've only just got into this score this past weekend and cannot wait to hear this cast on record.
I loooove PS, but after Ghostlight's beautiful work on She Loves Me, I kind of hope that they do it. This is exciting news regardless of who records it.
It's Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight. More details:

I agree with icecreambenjamin, much as I love PS Classics, Ghostlight still seems to always have the best sounding recordings.
But if Sh-K-Boom is recording Falsettos then who is recording Holiday Inn?
Why can't they do both?
Okay then why haven't they announced Holiday Inn yet? I'm getting nervous.
I'm so incredibly excited to hear Betsy on this. As well as the rest of the cast, but Betsy...that woman. So good.
I'm sure someone will pick up HOLIDAY INN. They will make the investment in recording it because it has tons of regional / community theatre licensing potential.

It's quite possible that there won't be one if no one is willing to foot the bill.
i'm so excited for this album! looking forward to finally having one complete recording for Falsettos, although i'm still sad one of my favorite sections is missing (the bit about Trina hanging from the chandelier).
I think they reinstated that line, actually, Gypsy! They took it out then put it back after one night, if I'm not mistaken.
thank God Cinders! i was so sad about that, that whole intro of Trina's is fantastic.
That line was not in when I saw the show this weekend, to my disappointment.
(For what it's worth, the line is not present in the licensed script)
This makes me so happy!! Any word on release date, anyone hear?

Just saw the show last night - first time being exposed to the material - and I was already jonesing to listen to it again. Glad to wake up today and read this news.
Not it sure what the chandeliers line is, but it was not in the show last night.
"If not, I've got some rope right here...and Trina will be hanging from a chandelier!"
very sad about it being cut TBH
Have they announced when the cast is heading into the studio? Are they trying to get the album out before the show closes or are they going to record after they close?

Anyone know / remember from past recordings produced by Sh-K Boom/Ghostlight what the likely timing is, either pre-order or release, for a digital version? (Assuming via iTunes or Amazon; I think I got the She Loves Me album on iTunes, but it was well after release.) Thanks!
Sh-K-Boom used to release their albums digitally almost a month in advance of the physical release and then ship pre-orders a week prior to the street date. She Loves Me was unique if I recall correctly because there was an issue with the CDs and some people who pre-ordered were given some kind of code for a digital download because of the delay.

Thanks! Now I'm starting to remember ... Something Rotten was also Ghostlight (right?) and the month-in-advance timing sounds familiar for digital.
SO EXCITED for this album. It will be hard to top the OCRs though.
