Since they are just now saying who the actors will be that will play Raoul and Madame Giry in Love Never Dies, who was on the original cast recording? The boy's auditions for Christine's son was only today and the recording was made this past summer... IS CONFUSED!

It wasn't the OCR. Wasn't it just a demo?

I'd consider it more like a 'studio cast' recording. ALW had something like a 70 piece orchestra or something? This is a bit more sophisticated than a 'demo recording'.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I'd call it a Concept Album, like the two early "Jekyll and Hyde" recordings.

Whatever it is, I meant to imply that it isn't the original cast album that the poster thought it was, which is why he was confused.

The Concept album was recorded a year ago and has been SUBSTANTIALLY rewritten, some say by as much as 70% since then. John Barrowman plays Raoul in that. The recording that comes out after opening is actually with a 100 piece orchestra and reflects the show of, at least, the first preview. Who knows how much, if anything, will change after that.
