Next to Normal fans... Cast Recording news!

Posted: 1/18/09 at 3:52am

Not sure if this was posted here yet (I couldn't find it), but according to their official My Space, the cast of Next to Normal goes into the studio next month to record their long awaited cast recording! :)

Sh-k-boom is releasing it.

Woohoo! I know some people are still waiting to hear it on Playbill, but this is enough confirmation for me. Well, that plus the fact that the director was telling people in the lobby.

Oh right. Michael Grief is back at the show. Would that be a signal that there's more to come? I saw him at both shows yesterday and he seemed to still be in 'work' gear, shuttling back and forth from the dressing rooms and huddling with staff of the theater.

Cast recording is a definite. Sh-K-Boom... Just PLEASE don't take as long as you did with Little Fish!!!!

Beyond that "We have no idea." Direct quote from several including Grief.

Bittersweet.

As excited as I am for a cast recording, I was just so NOT a fan of this cast. If d'Arcy James and Somers came back to do it, I would be pretty much the happiest person around.

Also, can we please use the 2st version of 'Just Another Day' and throw back in 'Feeling Electric"?

please.

Well, I have heard lots about this show, and even though I haven't seen it I am really excited for the recording.

I just feel the score works so much better with Brian's voice. You can tell if you saw the Arena version that J. Robert Spencer has to use the LuPone vibrato technique utilizing the lower jaw.

On a happy note, I'm glad Sh-K-Boom is doing this. Hopefully we can expect a full recording with 2-discs to cover the almost two hours of music.

This is great news. The show closed before I had a chance to see it, but the buzz on here had me very curious to see it. Now at least I'll get to hear it.

How exciting! I can't wait!

I hope though, if there ever is a Broadway transfer, that they don't just say, "Oh, well we already have a recording..."

umm Here I Am, the "article" links to the myspace fan page for "more information" and the link to sh-k-boom has no information about N2N.

as I've said since the first "announcement" happened a week ago or so, we heard ALL OF THIS BACK DURING THE 2ST RUN, so I'll wait til i see it on playbill.




ETA

I'd trust a fanpage over a poster with incorrect spelling any day. But that's just me.

Is this directed at me? cause there's nothing wrong with my spelling.
