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
Yay! Congrats! Maybe...just maybe this will help the show out.
There is a musical of Bunnicula? Hilarious!
I was there and it was really fun. I met so many 'famous' people. Lousie Pitre is sooo cute!
