"I think its important to note that it's a CONCEPT ALBUM. The arrangements/sounds on the CONCEPT ALBUM may not reflect the arrangements/sounds of the SHOW versions."
If that were the case why then would he have gone and re-reorchestrated the shole thing and re-record it as he did last year, Yes it may sound more "lush" but Im sure as far as ALW is concerned, the music is noe frozen.
