I’m terrible at catching changes on these sort of recording releases. Can someone help me understand the differences? The background music seems “louder” if that makes sense.

Is it out already?

It’s available through digital/streaming, with a CD and (for the first time) vinyl release coming later this year.

It sounds fantastic. The orchestrations are so crisp and I’m hearing nuances I never heard before. I felt like I was hearing My Psychopharmacologist and I for the first time. And I’m relieved to report that the autotune in I Am the One has been removed! I can’t wait to listen to the whole thing all week and discover more.

I suppose there are subtle differences if I compare the same tracks one after the other. If anything to my ear and my AirPods the vocals sound closer and more compressed less open. I'm not sure that's a good thing. There are moments when the band sounds more prominent.

Any new rumors or updates about this coming to New York?

And I’m waiting on a cast recording. I’m losing hope.

I have no idea why they have not announced it yet. Maybe we will get it after it closes? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the OG West End cast of Heathers not release a cast album till months after it closed?

I'd guess they'll announce around October / November, soon after the West End run concludes.

But is it actually coming for sure? Sure hope so.

They probably recorded it already, as Cassie said in a post on Instagram today that she's leaving soon after the show ends. Her kids are heading back to the States for school. I also wonder if we could possibly be waiting till the show transfers to New York (if it does), kinda like what Sunset is doing right now.

I heard a couple months back that is the plan, for this season.

Would this go in the booth?

It would make sense as it is: 1.) the OG Home of N2N and 2.) similar in capacity with the Wyndhams in London. I am sure the creative team wants a small, intimate venue for this production.

Saw this twice in the past two days. Truly truly phenomenal in all aspects. Levy/Wolfe/Cox in particular were insanely good and absolutely need to transfer. I wanted to like Jamie Parker, and his acting was generally terrific, but unfortunately his American accent sounded more like an impression of Kermit the Frog (sorry!).

Eleanor Worthington Cox apparently left mid-show on Thursday and the alternate/understudy is on Friday. Hopefully Worthington-Cox will be fully healthy on Monday for the filming.
This news also may mean that there will be no cast recording and no transfer to Broadway. That said, I'm very excited for the pro-shot to be available soon!

I'm assuming you mean next season as in 25-26 instead of next season as in winter of 24-25?
Either way I finally got the privilege of seeing this last week. What a fantastic show. Caissie Levy and Jack Wolfe are the standouts for me - absolute top notch acting and vocals from them both. I hope they both stay with any supposed transfer.

Levy missed her first performances today (two show day, off for both). They filmed Monday-Wednesday I believe and Thursday off.
