A question mark would have been nice.
So far nothing has been announced.

Loved Paul Nolan's voice in this. Really hoping for a cast album.

This has probably already been asked, but will there be a cast recording? I hope so (:

No idea what the hold up is about this! It seems logical sense to record one. It seems like there'd be a ton of demand since this show has also been in Stratford & La Jolla (and I'm sure a ton of ppl who saw it there would be interested). Sadly, nothing seems to be in the works yet.

I hope they record this cast... The WHOLE show, too.

According to the cast album database there are 91 albums of the score already in circulation (which admittedly includes some easy-listening orchestra albums such as Percy Faith's SUPERSTAR album) but the point is there are too many recordings of this show available.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

^Yet the Superstar fanatics have every one of those recordings and they'll buy this one too. There's a reason there are so many. They sell.
Honestly though, I would bet everything I have that Andrew Lloyd Webber is not going to allow them to record a cast album because he likely wants to record his upcoming arena tour of Superstar in the UK with the winner of his talent competition and he won't want to have the album sales competing with a Broadway revival cast recording.

With Follies closed, I'm sure JCS will win the Best Revival Tony. If an album isn't in the works, I'm sure that will be the extra push it needs to get one.

^Don't get your hopes up. Seems like the money is being spent on a new Evita recording. Webber probably plans on recording his arena tour of Superstar so it's unlikely that he would record this revival. Though, personally, I think it's stupid to be recording the same production of Evita again with the same leading lady.

Being an ALW fan, I kind of always look forward to new cast albums... Its always cool to hear different voices singing scores you enjoy and hear different orchestrations (it's one reason I have almost every Sunset Blvd recording)
I had hoped for a new JCSS recording, but I think everyones comments here make sense as to why they wouldn't. I can't even remember how many I have (with my favorite being Steve Balsamo as Jesus from the London 2000 revival.... why he didn't come to NY with that production, I still don't know...) I even have the one with a bunch of rock artists including Indigo girls on it.
Since this new production I believe is using some of the original orchestrations and there's nothing that's making it distinguish itself from previous productions, I think it's going to go unrecorded...
As for recording Evita with Elena Roger again - well the first time was such a mess with just the single disc and with Ricky Martin rivaling Roger as the "star", it just makes sense why they want to do that one again and capitalize on it

You can stop bumping. The record executives have gotten your word and are making the record today!

I saw this in La Jolla and remember thinking there were some minor cuts made to the score. But I can not remember what it was I thought they cut. Has anyone noticed this, or have I competely made this up in my own head?
