And just after I just posted I saw this article for 100 free CDs from the box office for first day purchasers...

Posted: 10/3/14 at 2:25pmLooks like only 1 CD when it should be 2

Posted: 10/3/14 at 2:33pmIt's not recorded yet ... maybe they don't know yet. The price point at this time does look to be for 1 CD.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 3:08pmI'm put off by their labeling it as the new original Broadway cast recording. It's misleading. Plenty of shows have undergone massive rewrites and didn't purport themselves to be anything more than a revival which is what this is. You can slang term it as a revisal but it's still a revival and not the original Broadway cast.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 3:09pmI wish Jill Paice would replace Erin Davie before this recording happens.

But it is the NEW original Broadway Cast recording (2014). I think most revivals label their recordings this way now... HOW TO SUCCEED, PROMISES, etc. All say Original Cast Recording (year). I don't think it's misleading at all! I don't know what CD lately has said the new REVIVAL recording of (name that show).
I just looked - this is what the record company is calling it. What's misleading?

Posted: 10/3/14 at 3:50pmYeah, revival recordings are always labeled either "The New Broadway Cast" or the even less popular, "The [Year] Broadway Cast". I can't remember the last time I saw the word "revival" used on a recording. Even the 1977 King & I recording is labeled as "a new production of".

Posted: 10/3/14 at 3:54pmWhy should it be two? It's a more traditional book musical now; it's not sung-through.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 4:18pmI know they're usually labeled new Broadway cast recording, but not new original Broadway cast recording. That's very different and adding the word "original" can be misleading. That's all I'm trying to say.

But there's always an "original" cast in a revival... the original actors in THAT cast ... when one leaves, a replacement is found. But, say DANIEL RADCLIFFE was in the original cast of the 2012 (or whatever) Broadway cast of HOW TO SUCCEED. So
And that is NOT how the CD is labeled as I pointed out - it's labeled Side Show (2014 Broadway Cast Recording) [CD]
Perhaps you were seeing an article calling it what you say.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 4:39pmThe BWW article says "new original Broadway cast recording." How to Succeed is labeled as the 2011 Broadway cast recording on the cover. I don't have a problem with that and I understand that there is an original cast for a revival. All I'm saying is that if the word "original" is going to be thrown in I would prefer it say original revival cast or original (insert year) cast and not "new original Broadway cast" which while technically accurate could confuse a novice listener into thinking that they are listening to the original Broadway cast which in this case is not true.

I really don't mean to carry on like this but you are getting your info from an ARTICLE that states what you say but if you go to the record company site you will see it is NOT called that. But you seem to hold it against the CD itself when you got the information from someone who used that term who is writing an article. The CD is NOT labeled that way.
I feel like I'm a kid in high school arguing. READ THE RECORD COMPANY LABEL ... articles can create whatever language they want. Hopefully BWW gets the point you are making. BUT THE CD IS NOT CALLED THAT.
My last post on this subject.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 5:45pmIt's one badly worded sentence in that one article, not the actual label of the CD, nor is it referred to as such anywhere else.

I'm not holding it against anyone. It's just another instance of BWW's inept coverage. The article is misleading. That's all I was trying to point out. I'm sorry. 
Side Show Revival Will Have a Cast Recording#17
Posted: 10/3/14 at 6:03pmOh, it wouldn't be BWW without a poorly written article, an interview drooling over a morally offensive actor because he's hot, or a PHOTO FLASH! containing 41 nearly-identical photos of the same actor during curtain call. I don't think anyone who actually knows or cares about the subject of the article will be confused to the point of thinking they are going to order the OBC of Side Show as opposed to the revival recording of Side Show. Fans of the show already know the difference and any brand new musical theatre fans generated by the revival are not going to seek out this particular article in desperation to track down the CD they opted not to buy in the lobby because it costs twice as much.

Posted: 10/3/14 at 7:25pmHell, can't people just be happy that there will a new cast recording to add to the collection?

Posted: 10/3/14 at 11:48pmRead in Playbill tonight that 60% of the score is new so it should get at least a nomination for best score.
