Im not saying it's good.
I'm not even saying the show was palatable.
Mainly, I'm just perplexed as to why the recording went to studio AND was recorded... and still not released?
I mean, come on, even Rosie released TABOO (i liked taboo, and Raul by extension, so don't think im knocking it)
Is the possible loss of money really that great? I'm asking here because all you Broadway Legends seem to have so much Broadway sense that a newbie such as myself does not.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 3:00pmI'm just going to inform you that this has been discussed quite a lot on here previously, just so that no one else has too. If no one responds, try searching.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 3:00pmMy feeling, and I could be wrong, is that Elton John is embarrassed about being associated with such a horrible show and huge flop and has put the brakes on it and is stopping the release.
Some people come into our lives and quietly go, others stay a while, and leave footprints on our heart, and we are never the same.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 3:20pmI'm sure they will eventually put on itunes ala Capeman.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 3:20pmI enjoyed Lestat. But it might have been due to the fact that I saw Threepenny the same day.

I think it failed because it went about it seriously.
People bemoan shows that know they're ridicluous... but sometimes you just have to be absurd.
if Lestat had been
INTERVIEW!
-Interview with the Vampire, ON ICE!-
It would have sold out for years.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 4:26pmI think that it should be released through iTunes. However, it wouldn't surprise if it never does get released... Kind of sad, after all, some of the songs are actually good.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 4:30pmI'm hoping for an iTunes release. Once I have a studio version of "I Want More", I'll be the happiest queen in town.

elton john and warner brothers have said there are no plans at this time to release the recording, mostly due to a lack of projected and expected sales.

What do these people see in this show that makes it worth having a cast recording?
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.

Why do I want this recording? Two Words:

Posted: 1/31/07 at 5:50pmWhat cracks me up is that if this does eventually get released, most of the fans will have been away from the material for so long that they will probably realize how crappy it really was.
