Will we get a 2022 Broadway cast recording of the Into the Woods transfer do you think? Here's hoping!
Will there be a 2022 Into the Woods new cast recording?

Just asked someone involved with the show this question last week and there’s nothing official right now. They hope so.

We can’t even get a Music Man cast recording starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster so I’m guessing no on this one.

One production not getting recorded has no bearing on whether a totally unrelated production will get one.

My HOPE is that Bareilles makes this an attractive prospect to record (along with the rave reviews and vocally-wonderful supporting cast). But the cast album industry appears to have changed a lot post-pandemic as people realize how little money there is to be made off these.

There's been a recent trend in London to do live recordings of shows - it's probably cheaper? I don't know know why they wouldn't do this at least to make some extra coin. Crossing everything that we get an ITW album. There were rumors that the Music Man cast were set to record on 19 June - was that debunked? Not happening now anyway because of Hugh's Covid status... I would love to hear some news about some upcoming cast recordings for MM, Company etc.

Generally everything is cheaper to do in London because of the unions –– filmed stage productions, live cast albums, shorter runs, etc.
My understanding (correct me if wrong) is that the cost of recording a cast album is only nominally cheaper live and it's more of a style preference.

Has it? The only shows this season not to announce/release recordings are Music Man, Funny Girl, and Company- and Company already has a London cast album, which is probably the main thing holding them back.

I agree. The only one thats odd to not know about is “Music Man”. If Patti hadn’t been in the London production, I think there would be more of a chance of “Company” being done but seeing how her Joanne is already recorded there’s not an immediate “need” for it.

I very much have an immediate need for it!

during the opening night interviews, the actor who plays the steward leaked that he is working on an album with the cast.

Jordan, didn't you say something about it on another thread that they're recording this week? Please correct me if I am wrong.
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

I'm happy to get a recording at all, but I do hope this new one will include some bits that have never been recorded before, including the Baker's Reprise, A Very Nice Prince (Reprise), the full Act I Finale, and the full Act II Opening. As many times as this show has been recorded, it's a little surprising that no recording has included the complete score.

No one wants that. However, we do want a COMPANY Broadway revival cast album !

Was Julia Lester able to record for the album? She's been out of the show.

I’m so glad this is happening and, as others have said, I hope we get a more complete recording.
The OBC recording is definitive, but now there are really no LP or CD timing constraints…hope we get more music on this one!

And I'm hoping they track it more like the London cast recording rather than the original Broadway CD. I always hated having to sit through First Midnight to get to Giants in the Sky (as an example). Regardless, I am thrilled but have to wonder which cast is recording - Encores or Broadway. (My guess would obviously be Broadway, but I'll miss NPH and Sara's chemistry in "It Takes Two."

It's the Broadway cast. Patina, Brian, and Phillipa were shown in Sara's stories, and Joshua posted a pic too.

There's no vocal track for Little Red. I guess they're bringing her in another day?
