There is a recording of the 1993 revival of SHE LOVES ME but it doesn't have the complete original revival cast. It's missing Judy Kuhn.
I want it with her!

An obscure musical about the Vietnam war written by Jim Steinman called "More Than You Deserve" would make an interesting studio cast album

There's many, but right now, I really wish they would have recorded the recent Carousel with Laura and Steven. I'd also would have really liked a recording of the recent Les Mis production (the opening cast, minus Nikki M. James, good Lord - who decided that was a good idea?).

I don't have a particular production in mind, but I'd love to see (hear) another English-language recording of Aspects of Love.

You know that there was a live radio broadcast right? It's a professional live recording. You can't buy it, but it's very easy to find. PM me if you are interested.

1974 revival of "Good News."
I know there was a pirated version out there somewhere because I once had the LP. Foolishly sold it when I for rid of my LP's. ??

Harmony with the original LA cast that was done at the Ahmanson. A really great score!

"I'd love to have a copy of Michael John Lachiusa's The Highest Yellow with the original Signature Theatre (VA) cast of Jason Danieley, Judy Kuhn, and Marc Kudisch."
I did not know this musical existed until I looked it up just now but now I want an album too.

"Mmmmmmm...cast album never recorded you want."

I'd buy the cast album to Dave Malloy's PRELUDES -- that trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro was marvelous.

"Jesus Christ Superstar - 2012 Broadway Revival Cast (Josh Young<3)"
I'd buy it if he wasn't on it. Jeremy Kushnier was leagues better as a singer (though I will admit Young had the acting down pat). Judas needs to be a rock tenor; I love Josh Young's voice, but not as Judas -- he quite frankly sounded like I imagine Josh Groban would if he were attempting to play the part. Not the right type for it. It worked on stage, but the same performance would not translate so well on a CD, I feel.
"A proper English-language translation of Tanz der Vampire. (And no, the English demo doesn't count.)"
Oh, and we were so close to one, too. Oh well. Best-laid plans of mice and men...
"An obscure musical about the Vietnam war written by Jim Steinam called "More Than You Deserve" would make an interesting studio cast album"
Steinman, Mr. Roxy. In hearing the show (there is an archival recording of the matinee and evening performances on closing night at the NYPL; a copy was recently released, with Steinman's permission, amongst his fan community and I can provide you with it if you like -- excellent quality for its age), it seems like its satiric sensibilities are more in line with today's entertainment (especially in the wake of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report) than with the mid-to-late Seventies. Unlikely to get a studio recording, but I, too, would like to hear more than just demos and audience tapes.

I saw Kushnier do Iago in Othello in my city, and immediately rushed home to watch him in Superstar. Pretty amazing.

d.g.e.l.g.i
Corrected spelling of his name . A copy would be great. Thanks. Are you talking of an audio or video? Either one would be great

As far as I know BIlly Elliot remains the only Tony winning Best Musical not to be given a cast recording. The marvelous cast deserved it. I also vote for the original Toronto cast of Godspell. Never to be equalled

You'll be able to. I wasn't crazy about the show but I'd like to hear Nikki M. James' solo and On a Loop again.

The Sandy Duncan PETER PAN revival.
The Broadway cast (and score) of A CHRISTMAS STORY (including all the new lyrics, the different versions of songs and "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out"
but with the original cast from Broadway.
Posted: 8/13/15 at 5:54pm
Oh, how could I forget this gem: In My Life. Remember this one? I really enjoyed it. Also, I would have liked Cry Baby. So, so many.
Edit: The recent Show Boat production with Lauren Worsham and Norm Lewis.

Are you from Pittsburgh? Because I saw his Iago too, and it was freaking BRILLIANT! Then I found some Youtube videos of Kushnier singing, and was impressed. He's very talented indeed!

Hands down my answer to this topic would be OBC recording of Carrie, with Linzie Hately and Betty Buckly. I swear you guys this as can Mandelbaun points out was a theatrical high. I also wish for recordings of The Three Penny Oprah with Sting, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever with Jesse and I remain a sucker wishing for the production of A Change In The Heir that took place at the old Edison Theater.

LOVE LIFE
ROMANCE IN HARD TIMES
ANYONE CAN WHISTLE (Encores!)....That was Donna Murphy performance that needed to be preserved.

I have the Marilyn cast recording with Stephanie Lawrence. It is really good.
Posted: 8/13/15 at 10:50pm
^^Is there a cast album or are you talking about her Marilyn tribute album?
Posted: 8/13/15 at 10:54pm
I would have loved if they had made a cast album for the Newsies closing cast. Corey Cott, Ben Fanhauser, Andy Richardson, Giuseppe Bausilios, Nico Greetham, Tommy Martinez, Danny Quadrino.
Also I wish that they would have made a cast album from Ever After. If they are not going to take it to Broadway, still hope they do, I wish that they would have made a cast album.
