Sister Act OBCR or OLCR??


I would imagine that it's the Broadway Cast Recording.

The recording label says Ghostlight Records.

The London cast is recorded on: First Night Records.

The score must have changed a bit for them to feel they need a new cast recording.

I know there are others who feel differently but if the title song is gone, I'll be devastated.

Hope this actually happens. Lord knows, Heer van den Ende's got deep vest pockets.

Don't most big shows do a Broadway recording? Long as they are fairly successful? Doesn't mean the score has had to have changed much does it?

Unfortunately recently if there is a London recording we don't get a new Broadway recording, like MARY POPPINS.
If they have so much $ why are they using the UK commercial?
I hope we get a new one for Vicky and Marla and all the NY cast.

Sister Act OBCR or OLCR??

a little off topic... I know that Alan Menken hated the original version of the title song but I liked it... it was a fast tempo duet between Delores and the mother superior... it was catchy if not corny but whatever.. i actually like the new version... was it in danger of being cut for broadway??

"If they have so much $ why are they using the UK commercial?"

I would assume so that way they can have a commercial with some footage from the show. I would guess they are just gearing up to start tech, so it's unlikely they have any B-roll shot yet that they could insert into a commercial.

Thanks curtainpulldowner; did Billy Elliot do a Broadway cast recording?

No Billy just has the original London cast recording.

I love the OLCR for Sister Act! A very good recording
#11

Sister Act OBCR or OLCR??

Agreed. Why would they feel the need for a new recording when the star of the show is unchanged? Makes no sense.

I am pretty sure this is the London cast recording. The Broadway cast did not record these tracks, and if the recording is out at the end of March, they don't have enough time to record it now and release by that date. So yes, London cast.

I love it too but it's been done before hasn't it? Didn't Colm Wilkinson and Frances Ruffelle (?) do OLC and OBC Les Mis?

I think thought that with regards to Les Miserables, I don't think it was a case of a new cast sans Francis and Colm. I think that there were a fair amount of alterations to the score that merited a new recording. The intro/overture is different as well as different tempo changes. They also shortened Little People for the Broadway cast and the song I saw Him Once, which came before A Heart Full Of Love was gone at that point.

I know that Disney tried with Beauty and The Beast, to release a cast recording of every international cast. When they realized that financially speaking, it didn't make sense to have multiple english language recordings of the same show, they stopped doing it.

Wicked didn't do a London cast recording because the show opened up with Menzel.

I think that, because cast recordings aren't very profitable, if a show is a transfer on either side of the pond, producers try to not make another recording if they don't have to. Considering that Miller was in both the London production of the show and now with it on Broadway, they might feel that it isn't worth recording the score anew.

brettystar---Mamma Mia doesn't have a broadway cast recording, nor does Billy Elliot (I don't think)
#16

Sister Act OBCR or OLCR??

True -but on the other hand isn't this one produced mainly by Americans? Might that influence a Broadway cast recording? Well... I shall live in hope :)

Sister Act OBCR or OLCR??

Hopefully it would be a Broadway cast recording, but after reading all of your replies and assumptions, I think that it is probably a re-release with the cover featuring the Broadway promotional artwork rather than the original cartoon artwork used in the West End and on the OLCR.

EDIT: Amazon posted the music previews of each track and the artists are the OLC... oh, well. lol.

Why on earth is Ghostlight taking the time to do this? The Sister Act album is nearly always in any Barnes and Noble I go into.
