Posted: 12/18/06 at 3:16pmLately I find that it difficult to enjoy the cast recordings of shows that I haven't seen. Sometimes the music just doesn't work out of context.

I haven't seen the show yet and thought this recording would be a nice hold over until I finally see it, but it's so good that the recording is it's own entity to me, like I don't need the show and the people live onstage in my mind to back it up when I listen to it.
did that make any sense to anyone?
also I love wondering about what's happening in the book of the show,
Is Moritz gay and doesn't fully know it? ("Not that I wouldn't", "Can't help but itch, to touch, to kiss,
To hold him once again", His friendship w/ Melchior)
Why is Isle an outcast?
Why does she sing The Dark I Know Well w/ Martha, is she being molested too?
Does Wendla sing Whispering before or after the "event"?
How and why does Mel find out he'll never see Wendla again?
I get so giddy when I think about those things, I can't wait to see the show, but for now, the cast recording is gold.
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I listened to this CD all the way through for the half dozenth time today maybe and I really think they should take the album out of stores, or at least re-lable it the 'off-broadway' cast recording, and then re-record it now that it's frozen on broadway. the differences are getting really annoying, and the fact that they're out of order is kind of annoying.
just a thought. I know it would never happen because it takes loads of money but...

Posted: 4/16/07 at 7:03pmHas the Tom Deckman issue on the cd sleeve been resolved? Do the CDs now say Jonathan B. Wright?

Posted: 4/16/07 at 9:05pmCurious, where did you purchase your copy BDavis? I have a friend who bought one from Amazon a week ago and it was a bad copy too. Did Decca completely drop the ball on this? I'm curious if anyone has received the corrected insert. ANYONE???
