Very much looking forward to the release of a new Gypsy with Audra. Any news on a release date? I have heard nothing.

You’re in profound danger.
Ummm it's actually a cast rec-

And yet your subject line infers otherwise...might want to add a question mark to the end.

I don't understand the vitriol I seem to be receiving after asking a simple question. I loved Gypsy- and loved hearing Audra sing those songs. Is that a crime? Audra- and the whole cast- were incredible- and the show was one of my all-time favorites. Audra sang the heck out of that score- and if I lived in NYC- I would go back just to hear her sing it again. I was in row 1- center- with a friend- and we were both blown away. I see tons of shows- but this one was one of the best ever. LOVED it.

I seem to recall Joy Woods posting from a recording studio sometime in December. Not sure if that had to do with Gypsy or not, but I’d reckon this revival will get a recording.

Oh, boy. I’m going to stop and save your life.
You referred to a cast recording as a soundtrack. This is a massive faux-pas in certain circles — including this one.
A soundtrack is reserved for film and television.
You’re asking about a cast recording.
Nit picky? Some might argue. But we’re aficionados and reserve the right to our standards.
You’ve essentially said good luck on opening night, asked for ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago, referred to San Francisco as Frisco, referred to the Scottish play by its actual title, or chosen the wrong Wild Party!
That said, I’m with you! Audra’s performance in GYPSY is the most thrilling performance I’ve seen on Broadway in memory.

And just to pile on…
There are no “row 1”s. There’s row A (or AA in some theaters) and there’s also “first row”. There are also multiple sections with a “row 1”!
Reading some of the responses people have made you wonder why some consider Broadway for the elite.
To me it just comes across as condescending.

Apparently you didn’t REALLY read thru all of your Broadway Nerd Handbook before signing your contract. The “cast recording” vs “soundtrack” section had to be signed AND initialed. That section was added to the handbook in 1943 after OKLAHOMA! opened on Broadway.

Sorry about that I am only up to 1941.
