Jerry Herman's thoughts regarding a new "La Cage" recording

This from Broadway.com:

From Jaime Moreno-Valle: It is great to see the timelessness of your work! Now my question: Is there any chance we will get a different La Cage on the revival's CD? (e.g. an Entr'Acte, the Promenade, exit music, etc.) I just think to all of us fans of the original cast recording, it would be a great bonus, besides of course the thrill of a new version of a great show.

Jerry responds: Dear Jaime, I am with you all the way. If we do a new album, it will contain every note and every word of the new production. I would especially enjoy having the Promenade and the Entr'Acte captured forever.

"If we do a new album?" That doesn't sound very promising...

yay! i saw and loved the show! i cant wait!

I'm sure they will. And if Brooke Shields takes over as Albin
we might even get TWO!

*shudder*

Yes - I didn't like the sound of that 'IF' either. They should know for sure by now if an album's going to be made or not. This would be a terrible disappointment for me if it doesn't come about.

I have heard the show is not doing that great at the Box Office, although, I do not have statistics to back that up. However, notice only one or two weeks post opening it was on the boards at TKTS and is still there.

I have heard the main goal from this show was to take it on the road, where financial returns are more prevalent.
