Where did you find the tracks?

rokyerhartout, they are playing on the official site's "Hair Radio" streaming radio station, interspersed with tracks from other recordings of the shows, covers of the tunes and songs of the era.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Sh-k-Boom is now accepting pre-orders for the CR!

Gavin sounds amazing on the cast recording. Better than all the clips I've seen. I'm not thrilled with the way "Let the Sunshine In" goes all quiet at the end. The reprise makes up for it, but it's not as energetic.

I saw those. Adorable!

CATSNYrevival0- That is the way it is done in the theater. It is more effective when you actually see it though.

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 5/21/09 at 6:23pm

Yeah. I sort of see how it's staged with the rehearsal video on the website so it looks like it might be really effective in performance, but without the visual it's slightly confusing and anti-climatic on CD.

Yes, the way it trails off is quite haunting.

[sgv123]

Posted: 5/21/09 at 6:26pm

I agree that it can be confusing on the recording. Also when you see it, the fading makes sense b/c of where the cast is at that moment.

I'm digging "I Got Life". I like how it has that little bit at the end that I've never heard recorded before. There's a lot of little pieces of music that have never been recorded before.

The "I'm gonna spread it around the world" bit? That's on the OBC.

Listening to the 2009 New Broadway Cast recording.

It. Is. Beauty!

^ I agree! Best recording of this show!

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 5/23/09 at 2:01am

I pretty much love it, but I'm used to listening to the European tour cast recording which had different vocal arrangements so "Sodomy" isn't as exciting vocally and I miss Adam Lambert's "My Conviction", but other than that this recording is pretty superb.

As I'm on the West Coast, I've yet to make the pilgrimage to NYC this year to catch the show. For those who've seen it, can you help me out with a little info?

Who are the folks featured in the following:
Electric Blues

Black Boys

from Mr Roxy:
"I have not been around the area where it was but does anyone know if the building that housed"Cheetah" is still there. If so, what is it now?"

This is right around the corner from me. The building was taken over by a company that rented out sound systems and equipment for large-scale events (S.I.R. - Studio Intrument Rentals) but was torn down about three years ago. It was totally bizarre watching it come down, roof first, then front walls, so you could see the interior space.

A luxury high rise (a skinny tall building) was built, which is now open.

When I went at the beginning of May, Cassie was out too, and we saw Jackie Burns. I thought she was phenomenal, and I'm secretly kinda sad she's not going to be on the cast recording. :)
