I don't think many were begging for one anyway.

Yeah, I do wish we got Adrienne somewhere, I liked what I saw of her performance. Though instead of complaining we can do better with our time, like watching the Lazarus proshot again. That's the best way anyone can spend their time.

Aw, no problem Nick, no one wanted to hear that anyway. And in less than a week, we will have an excellent live album with two extraordinary talents and hear how the score should be sung.
If schedules aligned last year, I sincerely wish it would have been Rachel and Ben performing this on Broadway, it most likely would have resulted in a few Tonys and glowing reviews instead of...whatever that was.

If the revival had been a hit, we would've gotten an album. But it wasn't- and actually seemed embarrassing for Jonas overall- so we did not.

I hate that I still can’t completely forget that production

I swear, am I the only one her who actually liked that production? It had a lot of flaws (mostly in direction) but Adrienne was great and Joe…had some very very good moments!
With that said, I’m glad we’re getting this pairing recorded. Zegler was glorious and Ben…had some very very good moments!

Adrienne is a world-class talent and did a wonderful job in L5Y, but she was also not right for the role. In my opinion, the only actress to give the original a run for their money so far has been Rachel. I’m very grateful that we’re getting a Rachel/Ben cast recording.

Aside from Sherie, the best Cathy I've seen was Margo Seibert at ACT in San Francisco.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Can we get a cast album of the Nasia and Noah version? Those two killed it.

Is this also why we never got that Jersey Boys pro-shot they filmed five years ago?

Even though many of us weren’t thrilled with Nick Jonas in “The Last Five Years,” a digital-only release of a cast album featuring Jonas would probably have more people exposed to this show and score than all previous recordings combined.
Maybe Jonas would’ve worked better in an audio-only release. Also, we’d have Adrienne Warren’s performance to enjoy.

Does anyone know what happened to their TV performance of 'next 10 minutes'? Is Nick Jonas' PR trying to hide it? I NEED to hear Adrianne Warren again. Rachel, who I loves, sounds so meekly pleasant in comparison but Adrianne Warren's was very deep into the soul at some of the climax notes....
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

It does appear that all of their promotional performances have been pulled but all of their interviews are still up.
However , it also appears that you can get a whole lot more than just that one song, if you catch my drift.
