To quote a show that will most likely be nominated next year . . .

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Kudos to Jersey Boys for winning another award...much deserved!


Did anyone get to watch them accept the award..if so who was there to accept it? I'm guessing none of the cast, but i could be wrong. I was so mad about missing it, because I wasn't sure what time they were going to do the Best Original Broadway Cast Recording Nominees so I just turned on the channel whenever.

i am glad that they won but if this show was made into a cast cd then good vibrations , and hot feet and the other shows that had other people songs.

You mean you actually think they would spend precious air time giving out the Best Cast Recording to a bunch of theatre queens????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. CHAPERONE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sad state of affairs when they give an award for best original cast album for something that is completely unoriginal

And the award goes to the record's producer, Bob Gaudio. Just to put some posters straight, the Grammy's are about RECORDINGS. The test isn't: what's your favourite show, but which cast album was the best record.

thank you for setting that straight mpw !

jersey boys is my favorite show, but even if it weren't i'd most likely still say that its cast recording and producer, Bob Gaudio & the show itself altogether does deserve awards just by the ratings it gets & its grosses each week..also its OBCR is always on top of the charts each week, so why should it not get all the awards including this one that it gets.

" deserve awards just by the ratings it gets & its grosses each week"

popularity is not an indicator of quality.

This is quite a low point for Original Cast CDs.

I can't wait for the revival of BEATLEMANIA.

Key word, theatre community. We are entitled to be as bitchy and mean as we want when things don't go our way. It kinda comes with the territory.

And the score was not written and the CD not produced by anyone in the "theatre community".

I don't see whay everyone is so pissed that Jersey Boys won the award. Out of all the cast recordings nominated, Sweeney is my favorite, but JB was the best album overall. It was extremely well produced, and it deserved the Grammy.

And besides, it's the freaking Grammy! It's not like it won a Pulitzer.
