D. All of the Above.

Production wasn't well received and the producers didn't want to waste additional money on a cast recording.

About the only reason for a recording was for some of the revised lyrics, but those wouldn't help.

The production is fantastic. It would probably transfer to Broadway if the last revival failed attempt that played on Broadway wasn't so recent.

I always thought it was a shame tyhat it wasn't - Daniel Davis's version of "Song on the Sand" was breathtaking and the best I've ever heard it sung.

AnythingGoes2 - Are you talking about the current London revival? Agreed it is fantastic, but I believe the OP was asking about the recent Broadway revival. It did win the Tony for Best Revival, but the reviews were mixed and the show closed after only 7 months.

I actually really loved this production, and was bummed there wasn't a recording.

They need to re-master the OBC, the quality is not good.

Because it closed a hot second after it won the Tony.

Would love for them to bring Doug Hodge and the London production over to NY. Perhaps to the Circle in the Square. Beautiful, sad production.

Wasn't there a rumor that they were transferring?


I hope they do...I need to get the bad taste out of my mouth from the last production.
