Any news on a Guys and Dolls cast recording of the 2009 revival?

I doubt there will be one. I can't imagine anyone wanting to record Lauren Graham's ridiculously awful, uninspired and painfully unfunny (not to mention badly-sung) performance as Miss Adelaide. Kate Jennings Grant is the only person whose performance I'd like to hear on a recording but she's not worth a recording of this production.

Did I see the same production as you? I thought Lauren Graham was great! I hope they record it!

Craig Bierko told someone at the stagedoor that there will be one.

Craig told me they were doing a cast recording, which I am very much looking forward to.

Ah, I didn't hear that it might have fallen through. This was about a month ago we had that conversation.

I saw the same production the critics saw and that most of my friends saw. Lauren Graham's performance was just so unfunny and her vocals were awful--it was her acting and lack of stage presence killed it for me though. I mean, I'd be okay with a new recording if only for Kate Jennings Grant sweet and fiery performance.
The London production should have been recorded with its original cast.

No! No! No! Graham and Platt were terrible and don't deserve to have their performances preserved at all.

Every show "deserves" to have it's performances preserved. Good or bad, it's still a piece of Broadway's history.

I'd buy it if it came out...but I buy everything!
I would love just to have Mary Testa's part recorded.
However, I do agree that the London Cast with Jane and Ewan would have been better to have on recording.

I would like a cast recording as well.
If you are that unimpressed with Graham and/or Platt's performance, don't buy it!

I'd like to have a recording, too. I didn't know Lauren Graham could sing! She was great. I just saw the show this past weekend. I was disappointed that they didn't have programs for sale. Did they used to have them?

BUMPing this in hopes of inspiring some recording producer to action. (Where's Bryan when we need him?) :O)

I can totally picture a record company listening to this, saying "Wow! This is that forgetable mediocre sound we've been looking for!"

Bump: Any news???
I would love to see this get recorded not only for Kate Jennings but also for their AMAZING Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat...

Yeah.
The ONLY reason this should be recorded is to have Tituss's ridiculous vocals and the brilliant arrangement/orchestrations of "Sit Down..."
I would buy the entire album for that song. Soooo good.

I think there are other reasons to buy it but I would rather have this than the WSS Revival. Tony makes me want to vomit though Anito and Maria are amazing.

They should just record and release a sampler CD with "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" and one of Sarah's songs. That's all I'd want.

Lauren Graham said she didn´t know anything about the cast recording during the stagedoor last week.

Now that Guys and Dolls is up for Best Revival, do we think a Cast Recording could be in the works?
