Story of My Life -- Official Broadway CD?

Does anyone have any information regarding the release of the original cast album for THE STORY OF MY LIFE?

I saw it last night and, in a rush, forgot to ask at the souvenir stand if/when one is coming out.

While I agree with many on this post that the plot of the show is somewhat depressing and ambiguous, the music is, at points, heart-stopping. I've had tears in my eyes just thinking about songs like "The Butterfly," and I really, really need it (and the rest of the musical) in my iTunes ASAP.

What a remarkable production! So small, so understated, and yet so moving, inspirational, and unforgettable. If you love Broadway or theater on any level, you've got to see this show.

Trust me.

It's too early for anyone to decide to invest money in making the cd at this point. But, sadly, I wouldn't hold your breath.

I really hope it is recorded...as most of you know, I am a huge fan of this show...

You can't use High Fidelity as an example.

I agree that it would be unusual, but there's always a chance.

Why not?

I see. Thanks for clarifying that.

If this show reminded people of SUNDAY (and since SUNDAY is so brilliant), then I don't understand why more people aren't loving this. It was not ripped off from SUNDAY...if there are any similarities, it is purely coincidence.

According to ushers, the show has been sold out since Thursday night. Having said that, it's Valentine's weekend, so I'm sure ALL shows are doing well.

A lot, too, will depend upon the reviews. I hope they're good. I don't think this show is perfect, but it has some beautiful moments, particularly in the songs. That's why I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a CD.

I'm also telling everyone I know to see it . . .

Here's a glimpse:

Funny, "Angels in the Snow" was, like, my 4th favorite song from this show. In other words, there's a lot more where this came from . . .

Plus, this performance is only with a piano. With the full orchestra on stage, it's downright magical.

Not unless any of the Producers/Investors want to lose more money.

JS....you have me perplexed....and I have no idea what to do with your opinion. Often I know how to take someone's opinion based on the other shows they like or dislike and how those match up with my own likes and dislikes!

I LoVE SITPWG and SA; but despised Rent....hmmm...still leaves SOML as a question mark for me...which isn't bad! Seeing it Tuesday night....time will tell.

"You can't use High Fidelity as an example."

How about Amour, Triumph of Love, and The Cape Man? Three other flops that were recorded and eventually released.

True Cape Man didn't get a physical release, but it makes you wish that more labels would take some of the less successful shows and just do iTunes/digital releases at least.
