Mistakes on cast recordings... — Page 3

While maybe not a mistake -
Matthew says "year" instead of "season" in "Where did we Go Right?" on The Producers album. (in the line "Christmas came early to Broadway...")

On the Recording Of DVD he says something to the people in the booth about how he always says "season" in the show, but the woman just tells him to go ahead with what's written.

At the end of I'll cover you reprise if you turn your stereo up REALLY loud in the last second u hear giggling and what i think is a phone ring. I only noticed bcause i was playing the music obscenely loud. I'm not kidding you, you have to turn it up to the MAX on a good stereo system.

In "I wanna be a Producer" on the Producers album, at the part where the girls whistle the tune of "he wan't to be a producer.." one of the girls starts to say "He..." and then starts whistling. Maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

Again in The Producers - during Along Came Bialy, in the lines "So romantic, they were frantic, then their prayers were heard up above" you can hear two Nathan Lanes singing at the same time. More proof that there's a robot/clone of him.

" I swear I hear someone call my name just like my mother. She splits it up into two syllables like,
"Qui-inn"."

The very first time I listened to the "Phantom" OLCR, during the introduction to "Music of the Night," the same thing happened to me. Mind you, it was also 12.30 at night. But, right after the Phantom sings "For one purpose, and one alone," I swear, I heard someone (sounding like my mother) yelling, "Laura!" Freaky.

OK, now I am honestly afraid: Everytime I listen to Run Freedom Run from Urinetown, I think I hear my mother calling me!

In the 10th Ann. Concert version of Les Miz. There are two mistakes, since it was live there are probably more.

Prologue/Work Song Look Down: When the chain gang are singing Ah,Ah. Ah.Ah. Ahhhhhhhhh. When they begin singing "Look Down" one of the chain gang sings Ah instead of Look, you can hear him change it quickly to look.

When Fantine is being assaulted by Bamatabois after Lovely Ladies. Bamatabois sings something something Grocer, then there are four beats by the horns. One horn takes an extra beat at the end.

It's for sure Elaine Stritch...Spoofed to hilarious perfection in the recent musical "What If?"

She's not flat, she's actually sharp (I think). Listen to it again, its the last time the whole company says "Wicked". On the first syllable, its very noticable. Makes me cringe every time I hear it lol. I don't know who it is, tho.

OH...you mean THAT lady in the background screeching her head off? I thought people were referencing either Chenoweth or Menzel. Lol. Thanks for clearing that up!

"I think I hear my mother calling me!" (in reference to listening to the song and hearing things)

LOL! That happens to me too sometimes when I listen to some songs. There are a couple of songs in particular. I always would have to stop my music just to make sure.

P.S. I think "Run Freedom Run" was one of the songs where I used to hear my mother calling me. I also just listened to the "Music of the Night" intro and heard that "Laura" thing...freaky.

In Urinetown, I heard the mother thing when the chorus sings, "My friends!!!" right before, "You have to run, runna, runna, run freedom run away, freedom run away...!"

-------------------------------------

In the Producers, just after "King of Broadway" ends, you can kind of hear some ringing go off in the background...it's very quick and you have to blast it to hear it right after the song ends for that period of silence.

The English major in me can't let this slide:

Enunciate
To pronounce; articulate.
To state or set forth precisely or systematically: enunciate a doctrine.

Anunciate
To announce; proclaim:

Announciate
Ain't no such word.

In the Wiz's "Soon as I get Home, Stephanie Mills sings :
"If I ax to leave, will the Wiz even hear me?

On "There's Always a Woman" from Anyone Can Whistle live recording, Bernadette messes up on the name calling sequence, which throws the whole thing off.

Non Musical - 'Proud Mary" by Tina Turner - during the instrumental breaks, one of the Ikettes (who's obviously too into the groove of the song) sings an extra "Rollin"
