GREAT news - I was worried PS Classics weren't gonna record it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this production.
I'm sure La Cage will be recorded - you shouldn't worry Albin.
But I won't live alone in a house of regret.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
I would like to think that the bobardment of e-mails I sent to PS Classics helped! 
SO excited.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 3:36pmHow come Roundabout never recorded "Follies" or "The Boys from Syracuse"?

Posted: 1/28/05 at 3:42pmProbably because there are a number of recordings of both Follies and Boys from Syracuse available. That's my guess.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 3:45pmI thought of that, but the 2001 revival of "Follies" was so good. I'd give anything to hear Blythe sing "Losing my Mind" one more time. I wasn't too keen on their "Boys". For me, the best recording is the 1997 Encores! cast.

yea.....
Rebecca Luker's "Falling in Love with Love" is really great, too, as is "He and She" with Ms. Gravitte and a surprisingly convincingly straight Mario Cantone, lol!

Blythe was Phyllis. Judith Ivey was Sally, the character who sings "Losing My Mind".
I didn't think either the Follies revival or The Boys from Syracuse were crying out do be documented. They were both pretty dreary.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 4:23pmI meant Judith. I don't know why I typed Blyhte. Sorry!!!
#14re: PACIFIC OVERTURES new cast recording!
Posted: 1/28/05 at 4:33pmThis is wonderful news. It is such a beautiful production. I will be interested to hear how it sounds on a CD.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

I'm not that familiar with Pacific Overtures, but I probably will buy it because of B.D. Wong.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 6:55pmI've been listening to their Frogs OBC non-stop - they did a fabulous job recording that. Really looking forward to this one.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
#21re: PACIFIC OVERTURES new cast recording!
Posted: 1/28/05 at 6:58pmFor a while there I was convinced that there wasn't going to be a "Frogs" OBC. I'm very happy that it was released.

Posted: 1/28/05 at 7:51pmI am very excited about this recording -- especially for Paolo Mantalban's performance and "Someone In A Tree" -- and I'd like to hear the new orchestrations again in "Next" -- during the number in the show, I was entirely too focused on the out-of-control (but quite cool) choreography and crazy techno club kid costumes.
