Recent Cast Recordings on CD#1

Do we have any idea how long it takes for Broadway Cast Recordings to make it to CD these days. I was interested in adding this year's Tony award-winning musical, A Strange Loop, to my collection but while the recording seems to have made it as a download, I'm not seeing a release date for a CD copy. Would really like to be able to add it to the shelf.

For that matter, it appears that only 2 of the 6 nominated musicals have made it onto CD thus far, MJ and Girl from the North Country, but apparently all six have digital availability. So no idea when the Broadway versions of Paradise Square, Six and Mr Saturday Night will see CD release, as well as Strange Loop.

I seem to remember a time not so long ago when the Tony nominated shows would get a CD release pretty quickly after the awards, so it seems odd that only two are out thus far.

Oh, and can you believe copies of the Braodway cast recording of The Prom on CD are going for nearly $90 nowadays online? I managed to track a copy in a local store for far less, but was shocked at how expensive it is going for now and that show is only three years old!  Makes me wonder if they aren't printing enough copies of recent shows.

Recent Cast Recordings on CD#3

I too love collecting CDs / Vinyls - I hope more cast recordings could make it to the physical edition

 

(I am still hoping they release The Band's Visit, Great Comet, South Pacific (2008), The Bridges of Madison County, and many more, on Vinyl)

I love to browse on Ebay to get some cast recordings once a while - so many great deals and I do not care if it's a used copy.

 

I guess the reason Prom  OBCR (CD) is nearly 90 today is it's out of print (like you said, they are not printing  less than the demand for that show probably)

On Amazon, it was ~$13 from the day of release up until Jan 2022 (since then, it has not been available on Amazon as "sold by Amazon.com"
