Shuffle along...2016 cast album?

I am going to give this another try! Has anybody heard any facts, innuendos and/or rumors about this cast making an original cast album? Previously when I did this post somebody suggested that Nonesuch Records was going to do a recording but I recieved a note from them this past week that said such a recording session was NOT on their schedule. If anybody knows anything let me know!

It was confirmed in an earlier thread on this topic that a cast recording will NOT be made, unfortunately.

Does anyone know the rough cost of a Broadway cast album the size of Shuffle Along 2016? Is it $200k, 300k...?

THE FACTS:

There's a rule that states, a cast album must be recorded within 19 weeks of a shows closing. If the album is recorded before that 20th week, producers must pay the actors a minimum of 1 weeks salary. IF the producers wait until the 20th week, they ONLY have to pay the actors the SAG/AFTRA scale, which is significantly lower.

So, if a producer needs to save money.......you get the picture. If you hear about a cast album coming in January of 2017, you'll know why.

A producer can also ask the cast to record inside of the 19 weeks and take the pay cut (meaning only the Sag/Aftra scale pay), but the cast must vote yes, unanimously.

If Bryan says it is true than that is it. The real shock is that it is Bryan saying it.

Oh interesting, Lane Bryant. Didn't know that about the 19/20 weeks.

I no longer buy cast albums and was really torn re not buying this one. Now that decision has been taken from me and I am glad. By the way Bryan, sorry you will not get a cast album on this. Keep up the good fight and I wish you luck in the future. I meant no disrespect to you with my remarks above

^Which is hilarious since most of the show is public domain.

It doesn't make sense since it is mostly public domain

still curious about this
