There have been discussions about this. There are claims that it will happen or some form of recording has already happened but nothing has been confirmed.

Great Comet composer Dave Malloy confirmed on his Twitter that they will be in the recording studio in December, however, nothing has been announced. The cast was supposedly supposed to be in the recording studio on the same day as the Ars Nova benefit, so I'm not sure if they even recorded at all. All we can do is wait, for now.

I hope it does happen. I saw the show last week and was blown away bu the music.
It would seem to me that Groban being such a big name it would be highly likely that a recording would be produced.
Crossing my fingers!

i don't have Twitter, but maybe someone here who does can tweet him asking if the cast went to the recording studio, or if they still plan to if they haven't yet?

Saw the show for a second time this weekend and would love a recording with Groban on it, although that's only 3 or so of the many songs in the show.

It was the typical Broadwayworld mistake. The information about the cast recording was from when they released the Orignal Off-Broadway one. Bwayworld didn't seem to realize it was an event for the book, not the cast recording.

I really hope that this still means that we'll be getting a new recording.

Since this is sloppy reporting, I dont know how it could mean anything like that, on any way.
Although, I hope for one, too.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I love the Off-bway recording but I need one with Josh's vocals. So amazing. I wish we could have a recording with him and Phillipa though! She was superior to Denee. Well I guess when it's on the album it won't be as evident as it was through the acting. But Josh, he's the best part.

I'm saying that I hope they don't think that the CD that comes with the book is good enough.

Gonna go out on a limb and say it's happening. Now the question is when?

Josh said on the stage door two weeks ago that a Broadway Cast Recording is indeed happening and the official announcement should be made this month.
The album itself should be coming in 2-3 months.

Have to register disagreement with rjm here. I love the original cast recording... But I am looking forward to hearing Denee in the OBCR almost as much as Josh. She is a brilliant Natasha!

Denee's "No One Else" is up on YouTube on the official YouTube channel! Sounds AMAZING! The release date for the cast recording is supposed to be announced soon.

The bottom of the email Great Comet sent out linking to the video mentions May but no specific release date.

Stunning. Comparisons to Phillipa Soo will be inevitable, but Denise brings a sweetness and innocence to the role that is unrivaled, in my opinion.

I've been listening to Denee's version a lot (way more than I should) since 3/31 1:40ish pm, basically since I discovered it. It's so good. I love her voice, and this score is beautiful.

"No One Else" is just the exquisite centerpiece of the score for me. The most sumptuous and haunting melody. It builds, circles and allows Natasha to ruminate contemplatively on this winter night and yet still break her heart wide open by the end. Just gorgeous.

There is a new trailer for the musical posted on their official YouTube channel. Prologue is playing in the background and it sounds like it could very well be from the upcoming Broadway cast recording. Just a heads up!

Is it just me, or is the sound a little weird in that commercial? I assume it's from the new recording, it lacks the energy from the original...and "Balaga" is so garbled it doesn't even sound like a word. Maybe it is just the editing.
