Yep.
I'm hoping for a transfer.
Posted: 5/10/16 at 2:34pm
Same. I love that score so so much.

I've never seen a production of THE GOLDEN APPLE. Looking forward to that.
But what is THE NEW YORKER? Do you mean the revue THE NEW YORKERS?
Posted: 5/10/16 at 2:40pm
Omg YES! Love GOLDEN APPLE as well as THE NEW YORKERS if it is indeed the Cole Porter revue. Pity the likely all-star APPLE probably won't be recorded since we just got the lyric opera version.

BIG RIVER?!?!?! GAH I'm so excited. It was one of the first shows that really made me fall in love with musical theater!

I'm not familiar with The New Yorkers at all, but I am assuming it's the Porter revue... since the other two options are either a 1901 "musical" or a pretty obscure 1927 revue.

Just curious where folks are seeing this - Playbill posted an article and then took it down I think. Want to share this news with the big Big River fan in my life :)

There hasn't been a press release, but it was sent out in a letter to subscribers about renewals for next year.

Yes, The New Yorkers is the 1930 Cole Porter musical.
It originally starred Jimmy Durante.

wasn't Big River on Broadway not that long ago? Golden Apple makes sense. I wish PS Classics had waited just a little longer to record it. (OT I was thinking recently The Rink might be good for Encores! and how perfect Patti would be for it.)

It was the Deaf West production and it was outstanding!
But Deaf West is usually limited when/if they transfer.
I would love a full on Broadway revival.

All I care about is THE GOLDEN APPLE. I can't wait to hear those orchestrations live in the theatre.

Excited for Big River! And more excited that it happens to coincide with my annual birthday trip to NYC in early February.

The New Yorkers may have a scatterbrained plot and characters, but it does have plot and characters and isn't a revue.
I half suspect that The Golden Apple wouldn't be scheduled now if we DIDN'T already have the PS Classics recording -- either because it convinced Encores of its viability, or because it means that they won't be lynched if they don't make a new recording. (Although I want one too!)
Posted: 5/10/16 at 8:03pm
That's a good point but I would hope those in charge over at Encores were already familiar with the score.

Speaking of Encores! recordings, their Paint Your Wagon just showed up on Amazon today for pre-order, coming May 27.

A good day for Encores! announcements all around.

way to go encores....Cole porters new yorkers...woo hoo
they have to record and release this!!!!
there is indeed a complete script and book,,, this is not a review
there is not a complete recording of this anywhere to my knowledge and long search other than a terrible quality bootleg of a london lost musicals revival

Looking forward to finally seeing Big River, but I'm starting to care more about the Off-Center series. By a lot.
