The Celebrity cast album of songs from Whistle Down The Wind came out after the London Cast album.
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Jekyll & Hyde - the original in 1990 and the expanded in 1994

The Celebrity cast album of songs from Whistle Down The Wind came out after the London Cast album.

The dates I have suggest 1998 for the celebrity album, and September 1999 for the OLC.

There's definitely a DVD out there, but I'm not turning up a recording.

As far as I know there has never been a Broadway cast album of Phantom of the Opera. there has been a Canadian cast album though.

That's what I thought, too, especially because the 2-cd "fat album" uses the British words for MOTN (Music shall surround you, instead of caress). However, there is a second 2-CD album with the same cover, using the concept (Highlight) album's words in "Think of Me" (You're not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were. She may not remember me, but I remember here). The supporting cast is different on the two "fat albums" but Michael Crawford (not Colm Wilkinson) plays the Phantom, and the rest of the big three are the same, as well. I happen to have the Canadian album, too, and know the difference. I'm wondering if one of the "fat albums" is a bootleg, but I can't figure it out until all my possessions (including albums) wind up on the same coast.
