Idea for iTunes and cast recordings + Wicked — Page 3

Obviously you did not read where the origins of the English Language were from.

It wasn't really clear, but I am done with this thread...for the night.

No, I didn't at all! I hope you didn't either.

I just have other things I have to do right now.

And I'm a "he" not a "she".

"People wouldn't go see the show because they know what happens."

I disagree. I knew what happened in most of the shows I saw before I even saw them, including the world premieres of Lestat (SF) and Hairspray (Seattle). EVITA was a movie for goodness sake and now it's on stage again. There were no secrets revealed in seeing Les Miz, Miss Saigon, or POTO after only hearing the recordings. Going to the theater is an experience that cannot be replicated in the home or cinema.

"Also, generally, the story is in the insert of the CD. That is, if the people aren't too lazy to look at it"

This is true in most cases. Wicked did not have a synopsis. I had to search online (which was very easy of course) to find a synopsis. As soon as I heard Elfie screaming "Feyero" in "No Good Deed" I had to find out what happens. That song is awesome, and I was like "Who is Feyero and what happened to him?"

I just think in reality a huge majority of people would still go to a show if they heard the whole score and even more would still go knowing the story.

There's a lot of doubt it would. Have you read the previous posts?

But the fact of the matter is that the unions and producers don't agree. That's a pretty big "if".

So you speak on behalf of ALL the people in the US? Just because you and Fenchurch will still go and see it, there are easily a hundred people who won't.

"it's just a ding-dang-dong topic for discussion".

^^lmao....wtf?!!!

---

then you have no basis for saying a hundred people won't.

I could list 100 people that I know, would that make you feel better?

1. You are correct. Whoever said that "only two are English" was simply splitting hairs.
Actually when someone refers to an English recording they are usually talking about a West-End recording.

No, they're not. When someone is talking about a West End recording, they call it a London recording. Stop trying to put Loge down to make yourself look smart; God knows everyone on this board has seen more than enough evidence to the contrary.

Yeah, I refused to see Titanic.
