Even though it's closing, there could still be a recording, even if they release it later. For example, Zanna Don't, Amour...

I don't think it's been recorded though

Well, financially speaking when a show closes this early it is characterized as a flop. So, bearing in mind that a cast album costs money to produce, I don't think it is going to happen. Maybe the score is wondeful, but noone is in this business for charity and let's face it, who will want to throw more money for a cast recording that will only be bought from the fans of the show who were not enough to keep it open ? I believe that the CDs of the shows that closed early were recorded BEFORE the final notice, so they had no chance but releasing them.
But, it is always so sad when a show closes. Some people put their hearts and dreams in it and they were dissapointed and that alone is reason enough to feel bad. I feel sorry for everyone, even for Boy George whose arrogant behavior I dislike.

Well, it *is* Rosie we are talking about. If she's as determined as she sounds about wanting the Broadway production to be recorded, it just might be.

Sigh...I'm very sad. But not surprised at all. I'll join everyone else in saying I Really hope a cast recording is made. Yeah there's the London one, but there are a few added songs to the US production. Already planning my final times. And you know, this was supposed to be my Cabaret rebound. Even my rebound leaves me right away! Lol!

I'm wondering if the theater invoked the stop clause. According to the Newsday article just this week, Rosie was committed to the show. And they just started that new ad campaign. Just a thought.

Maybe they should have kept the original script. Sometimes, change ISN'T a good thing. They should have kept with the show they had in London.

I don't know about Zanna Don't, but Amour was either recorded or released approximately 7 months AFTER the show closed.

The original script wouldn't have helped. It had the same problems as the current one.

Oh this is soooo sad....this is one of the best musicals i have seen in a long time. STUPID CRITICS!

I agree with Becky reguarding the recording. If Rosie (Bless her) was willing to take such a loss to try to find an audience for her "Baby", I am sure she will not mind spending a little more to have the ultimate "Baby Book." The show will be recorded, mark my words. If, as people have said, the score is the best thing about the show how can she, great lover of Broadway, not preserve it for, if no one else, her real babies. She is too dedicated to this project not to leave a mark. And let's not forget, it could still get multiple Tony Noms.

Thats the thing..it can still get nominated? I didn't realize that...maybe she could open it again...in 6 months in a smaller venue? do you think she would that? i don't know...sorry still in shock...i saw the percentages...but i didn't care
