A few more...
WEST SIDE STORY - in teh ballet just before the soloist sings "There's a place for us.." there is an audible click.
GYPSY - not a mistake but the actor playing Rose's father was not called to the session because he didn't sing, so Sondheim dubbed in the lne "You ain't getting 88 cents from me Rose." 2 problems: Sondheim sounds way to young to be Ethel Merman's father and he puts the emphasis on ME insetead of CENTS. (The line should be "You ain't getting 88 CENTS from me, Rose!)
HELLO DOLLY - Channing cleasr her throat during teh final just before singing "Here's My Hat, Horace."
FOLLIES IN CONCERT - IN "The Road You Didn't take" they obviously cross-fade from one take to another and you can hear a double image of George Hearn's voice.
SWEENEY TODD - done on purpose but there is an extra killing on the record that doesn't actually happen in the show. can yu spot it?
There are also different takes usd on the Cd's of GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, DAMN YANKEES!, MISS LIBERTY, OVER HERE! among others.
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
