Why did they bother making a cast recording if it was only open for 13 performances? 

Just curious.

Most likely for licensing purposes. Shows with a cast recording are more likely to be produced elsewhere

Chances for future regional and amateur productions are increased with a cast album. Ultimately though it usually just comes down to the fact that someone was willing to pay for it. Glory Days got a cast album and that show closed on opening night. The number of performances doesn't really have anything to do with it.

Isn't this the show that closed a few days early to finance the cast recording?  (early being extremely relative)

Caught this show in Boston during its out of town try-out. Not perfect, but I really loved this show. The score was pretty good, the performances were great, and the set was outstanding. I think their marketing was weak. The show had potential and I'm sad it went too soon, but I'm lucky I caught it.

Now I need to find my cast recording of it and listen. It's been a while.
