For those hanging on to the hope of a Threepenny revival recording as I am, I wanted to fill you in on the latest information that I have.
I want to give you the gist of an email I received this morning from Mr. Deutsch, President of Sh-k-boom/Ghostlight Records. He thanked me for my letter and commented that this recording is basically about preservation, preservation of the production and performances. He explained that it makes very little economic sense to do this recording. The desire to record it is there, but the financing is critical. For revivals of this kind, he exlained that he must rely on the theatre and it's patrons to assist with the cost of preserving the particular production, as was the case with Bernarda Alba.
What I am clinging to, though, is his last paragraph:
"I know the roundabout is working on getting the money together so hopefully it will happen with some label, mine or someone's at least."
So, it's not too late and I haven't given up hope yet. I am, needless to say, relieved and thrilled to know from an insider that Roundabout IS INDEED trying to find the funding. If they can get the finances together, a recording could be announced before the production closes.
God knows I'll have my fingers crossed all week!
Take care, all.
