Does anyone know if they are planning to do a cast recording for the current MISS SAIGON revival on Broadway? I got a rush ticket for last night's performance and I absolutely loved it! I really hope they do one because it's an amazing production.
Apologies if this has been asked already, but I couldn't seem to find any info on the message boards or anywhere else.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

I doubt it since there is already a live recording of the London production which had the same principals as the Broadway production.

They've released a live album of the London revival, which also featured Eva Noblezada, Jon Jon Briones, Alistair Brammer and Rachelle Ann Go, so I don't think they're willing to recording it again just because of minor roles and the ensemble.
That said, I wish more producers would put a London or Broadway cast recording out when the show transfers across the pond with other actors. It sucks to be stuck with the same actor FOREVER in a role if you want to listen to it again.

It's pretty unlikely. Wish they would though, I much preferred the guy playing Thuy on Broadway and he is involved in some of my favorite moments of the show.

I asked Jon Jon back in May about a Broadway cast recording. He said he didn't think so and told me about the London recording, which is what I bought.

I wouldn't say I prefer Devin Ilaw to Hong Kwang-ho, but I really loved both of their portrayals of Thuy and would love to have a professional recording of Devin.

I'm glad Katie Rose Clarke was given the role of Ellen and that Tamsin Carroll didn't transfer to Broadway. Going off vocals alone, I thought Tamsin was horrible. I saw Saigon opening night on Broadway and thought Katie singing Maybe was amazing. For that reason alone I'd like to hear a Broadway revival recording. But, like everyone else has already said, the principles transferred to Broadway and it would honestly make no sense to record the show again.

I liked Katie Rose Clarke as Ellen! I single of Maybe will be awesome (if it happens)
But the West End revival cast recording with Jon Jon, Eva, Alastair, Rachelle and others is a great CD for this show, no need to replicate with the Broadway revival cast! JMO
