Anyone know if this is going to be released? I saw on Instagram about a month or so ago they were recording it.
I know most folks didn’t like this production...
I enjoyed it.

I listened to a YouTube video of the star singing "Save The Girl". Tom Kitt really can't write lyrics, but the music is really nice. I wouldn't mind giving the whole show a listen.

I enjoyed this show and would look forward to the release of a cast recording. Especially liked What's Happening to My Boy?

The fact that an album was already recorded makes it seem like the show is fully dead with no other productions occurring.

The negative reviews and word of mouth, plus complete lack of buzz, also indicate that this production is dead. I bet the show will have a decent life in licensing, and the album will probably help with that. But I can’t imagine them trying to transfer this original production.

Who would license this? And why? I can understand 2ST biting before the thing was finished, but now that it is, it's tough to imagine someone seeing the material and choosing it.

Oh believe me, I'm right there with you. I hated the show. But many theatres frequently license weak material if they feel it's a good option for their resources and mission. The show has a small cast and doesn't require much of a budget. High schools and colleges might like it given it's focus on a teenager

There's always someone out there who falls in love with a flop and thinks they can be the ones to get people to see the hidden gem, whether it's by taking a new approach to the direction and physical production, or want to be the ones who can "fix" it (usually with unauthorized rewrites to the script, because that's almost always what people blame, even if the score is just as bad as the script).

Most of these off-Broadway musicals don’t see much love regionally. I mean there’s so many: My Life With Albertine, Fly By Night, so many.

The recording is out today. I was in the minority and enjoyed this production at second stage. The album sounds great so far. Kate Baldwin is a gem.

Wow! I had zero expectation that this would actually get a cast recording. I was disappointed in the show (especially Act 2) even though I liked some aspects but will definitely listen to the cast recording.

I've been listening to this, and it's honestly kind of hard to get through. Tom Kitt's music is lovely as always, but his lyrics are so bland. I'm 6 songs in, and I don't think I've heard a single rhyme that isn't monosyllabic (more than one syllable rhyming at the end of the line).
I've been thinking about the earlier thread where people were debating the quality of Beetlejuice's score, and the main detractors took issue with the fact that there were a lot of slant rhymes. So, I have to ask: Is this what you prefer? Every rhyme is technically perfect, but there's so much less creativity, wit, and wordplay in these songs.
