Following on their first listens for other cast recordings such as Annie, Cinderella and Kinky Boots. EW have just posted a first listen to the new cast recording of Pippin.
Sounds incredible!

I really love the sound! It has almost a 70's sound like the original album, but at the same time, fresh and new.
This is fantastic after the first few songs.
This sounds amazing! I am so glad that they put this up.
I love what they did with the beginning of 'Magic To Do'!!!! Sounds wonderful!!!
They sound great! Now if only I could get tickets for this...

Dreamin, we sound GOOD! they did a great job. That was one of the most memorable days of my life. Just FYI it did not seem like 700 people were there maybe closer to 500.
This is brilliant! And I was listening to 'With You' And I didn't recognise the music at the end of it, and was thinking 'Oh, I wonder what scene this is from' then I hear a whip crack and remember 'Oh of course, it is from the Orgy'. You know you are doing something right in your life when that is a normal thought process!
and listening to this, it just makes me want to see the show again that much more.
This is worth owning just for the No Time at All track alone. Knowing the story behind it, and actually hearing the exuberance of those who got to take part mixed onto that track makes it so "alive" for me.
Unlike the new Annie, this is a recording that could cause me to pitch the OBC CD from the 70s (or at least never play it again) and not miss it at all.
I am assuming the boy singing for Theo at the end is Andrew. Can anyone confirm?
Love it and I agree.
I just saw the show, again over Memorial Day weekend.
I LOVE the OBR and this new recording is right up there with the original.
The revival recording is amazing, fresh, clear, crisp and ALIVE.

Maddie, I would assume you are correct. He is in the pictures taken at the studio.
Yeah it is Andrew! I can't remember where I saw it, but I know that I have seen him credited for it somewhere!
SOOOO HAPPY WITH THIS!!! Sounds amazing

Favorite cast recording of the season.

Wow. Even after the first track I think it is the best recording this season alone. The number got me so worked up as if I were in the theatre, and felt very invited into the story. And to me, that is really the essence of theatre as an art. Bravo to them!

Is this just 3 songs? How do you hear the entire album if that is what I believe some are talking about.
Thanks
Strike that request - I changed browsers - the one I primarily use wasn't allowing more than the first 3 to show. I found them all...
Brilliant...now I've got my IT Dept trying to eradicate a virus attached to the audiodg.exe file we believe from this EW website. Anyone else start having Feminine Hygiene product commercials playing over and over?

Amazing! Can't wait.
Do you think they'll offer the CD at the theatre in advance of June 9th release date?
I actually liked "Corner of the Sky" much more on this recording than the original - and I really liked the original.
