Probably January 6th....seems appropriate after last nights 1% orgy of excess at the Waldorf.

They felt about the same to me but I haven’t listened to that recording in ages so I could be dead wrong lol smiley

Perhaps it was the effect of hearing it with the fuller and new orchestrations? I enjoy this version a lot, I think it just sounds cleaner and more whimsical than the concert did.

I did notice that Chenoweth belted less of “Caviar Dreams” at the Wednesday matinee. The score is a workout and she’s in fabulous voice, whatever one thinks of the show.

Copies are now available for preorder on Amazon. No streaming date announced yet.

I know in our current climate if we get physical releases (which I still collect) they usually come out significantly later than the digital, which makes sense. But considering this has (I think?) already been recorded, that seems a ridiculously late release date (and one I fear never happening if the show closes before then, which seems likely...)

February 27 - the end of winter on Broadway - is an odd time indeed to release a recording of a show that will need major critical endorsement (and word of mouth heretofore denied the production) to stay afloat on January 1. Two disparate flops last season, Redwood and Dead Outlaw, both pushed their digital recordings (if incomplete) with an eye toward ticket sales.

Amazon originally had the release date as 2/27 and then pushed back to April. Just checked again and it’s now listed as 5/22… Anyone have any info on this? I’ve never known a cast recording to keep being delayed like this, but maybe I’m just ignorant

There's simply no rush to get this out now that the show is long closed. We've seen this before with musicals shuttering early and planned / announced cast recordings being released months later.

For example, in 2022 a cast album had been confirmed for KPOP before its December closing, and it wasn't available to stream until May 2023.

All I can say is, follow Masterworks Broadway on social for updates on this particular album.

Maybe they pushed it to May since any earlier release would probably mean they’d have to plunk down money they don’t have on a campaign for awards season. Even by cast recording standards, I can’t imagine there is huge demand for this.
