Verge Cast Recording Update?
#50Verge Cast Recording Update?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 11:05amThere is a bit of talk going around that Ms. Scott is aware that the material for her character is inferior to others', and is very unhappy about it (and has let the creative team know it). If true, it would make perfect sense that she wouldn't care to preserve the project for posterity.

Posted: 12/15/10 at 11:19am^ I don't really believe that. People always start rumors about Sherie being unhappy and "phoning it in." This always happens with her. But I saw her this past weekend, and she wasn't phoning in anything. Her performance has grown and it was probably the best I've seen her. She also looked very happy with the cast at curtain call, dancing and smiling. Sure it's possible she might be unhappy with the role, but would she really take it out on the rest of the cast and not record it?

Other than Sh-k boom/Ghostlight, is there any other record companies that might take this on? its such a fabulous show, i hope they don't just leave it.

Posted: 12/16/10 at 12:54pmA recording of the Elf score would really be great for insomniacs. It's the most bland, generic set of songs I've heard since Summer of 42.

The corporate producers of Elf say it will get a cast album when it returns for the 2011 holiday season. Let us hold them to that promise then.
Meanwhile we want a Women cast recording!

Posted: 12/17/10 at 2:34pmThere's talk that the VERGE album may get recorded but with someone like Dinah Shore singing Sherie's songs.

Posted: 12/17/10 at 7:34pmHow hard is it to understand? Whether Miss Scott or her husband would like to take this on they are NOT going to be paying for it - unlike even a decade ago, 90% of today's cast albums are financed by the producers of the show. Apparently Lincoln Center has no interest in losing, oh, another quarter million dollars on top of the considerable amount of money they've dumped into this thing. Unless they or someone else pick up the tab and then just hand it to a label, this will not be happening - ever. The one thing we know is that Ghostlight or PS Classics would not spend that kind of money.

Posted: 12/18/10 at 9:10pmWould it be possible to petition for this kind of thing? It's a lot of money, but after seeing that Facebook group get Betty White on SNL I think you can practically accomplish anything. Especially a show that will be mentioned often whenever a show has complicated sets or shaky preview weeks. Boy would I love to hear the songs for myself! (That 9 minute BWW video was not sufficient!!)

Posted: 12/19/10 at 12:17amI saw the show a second time and asked people at the theater what the update was. All of them confirmed that they were told that it would be released at the very end of January...thus, possibly just a little after the show closes.

But it hasn't been recorded yet. If this does get recorded though, I will be beyond happy and grateful.

Me too, ljay! Fingers still crossed for this one.
I emailed the folks at Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight last week asking about it, and they told me to "stay tuned".

Posted: 12/19/10 at 4:10amInteresting. I want it for Lovesick & Model Behavior alone.
#68Verge Cast Recording Update?
Posted: 12/19/10 at 11:51amYeah. I really liked the Act I closer, "On the Verge", too. And... well... anything that Patti sings.

#74Verge Cast Recording Update?
Posted: 12/27/10 at 12:42amBased on what y'all on the board have said about shows getting cast albums or not, I would rather have a recording (both cast album and Great Performances) of Night Music with Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch than this show to be honest. Just sayin'. As much as I love Patti and Sherie and the rest of the Verge cast, I read from a lot of posts that the score wasn't really good; it doesn't mean the performers aren't good. But I haven't heard anything from the show, so...
