Mistakes on cast recordings...

If anyone has the rare cast recording of Annie Warbucks (Angel Records) the sequel to Annie little Kathryn Zaremba messes up a line near the end of the recording. It is during her speel to Sandy about the debacle at the wedding. I wonder why they never fixed that or the fact that Sandy is "barked" by Martin Charnin and not Cindy Lou...that is the albums BIGGEST mistake.

It's hard to find topics that haven't been discussed already!!! This one may have, but I didn't see it and I was curious! :)

Broadway cast recordings are made so quickly and for usually such a tiny budget, that mistakes usually go uncorrected. Still, some recordings are a little more hapless than others.

There are orchestra flubs all throughout The Producers cast recording, but particularly in the "Overture," "If You Got It, Flaunt It," and the "Prisoners of Love" finale.

Anyone Can Whistle also has a back-up boy add one extra "doo" during "Me And My Town".

A Dogpatch wife makes a wrong entrance in "Put 'em Back" from Li'l Abner.

There is a big brass section error in "A Beat Behind" from The Goodbye Girl.

Although I could be wrong, on the original off-Broadway ASSASSINS cast recording, there are certain parts were Terrence Mann (who played Czolgosz) definitely seems not to be singing, for it sounds like a completely different voice. Mann has a very distinctive quality to his voice, and he uses an accent for the role, but in certain places where Czolgosz has only one or two interjected sung or spoken lines, both the voice and the accent are different and don't sound like him at all, like someone was filling in for him. Anyone else notice this?

These aren't cast recordings, but two of the most noticeable (and funniest0 mistakes in the music industry are:

"I Saw Her Again Last Night" by the Mamas and the Papas.
During the climatic moment, one of the guys came in with "I Saw Her" too early.

"Baby, You Got What It Takes" by Dinah Washington and Brooke Benton.
Dinah and Brooke were supposed to record an album together with six duets.
During the second verse of "Baby, you got what it takes", Brooke starts singing, and Dinah says "You're back in my spot again, honey!" He stops, so she sings her verse. "I Like you're spot", he says. When her verse is finished she says "Now it's you!" This is obviously upsetting to her. When the recording was finished a huge fight ensued. They recorded a second song "A Rockin' Good Way", and in the end they began ad-libbing. Dinah would say things like "Just stay outta my spot" - all tongue in cheek.
He got angry, and even angrier that the producers kept it in the recording. They only recorded four songs together, as Dinah and Brooke never got along. The project was never completed, and the album only released four of the duets, while the rest of the numbers were solos.

On Idina Menzel's "Still I Can't Be Still" you can hear her clear her throat in the first few seconds of "Do You Think." Just proved to me that the clearing of the throat thing she does, was always around.

And of course Idina Menzel's infamous giggle in "RENT" right after she says "Oh, my God!" in the Finale.

This is so minor it isn't even funny, but on Cooties on the Hairspray OCR, one time Laura Bell Bundy sings "cutie shot" instead of "cootie shot". Trust me, it's there.

I heard (dont quote me on this) that they change the rent lyric if the actresses hometown fits. maybe not, but interesting thought.

Near the end of Endgame on the Chess OBC Phillip Casnoff hits a real sour note!

Where? I didn't notice it...

David Carroll sings "is there is no one in my life who will not..." Over the last note that Phillip Casnoff croaks -listen carefully and you'll hear it! Just horrible.
