Will we ever see a new Bye Bye Birdie Cast Album?

Aside from the album that will come from the live broadcast, how likely do you guys think it will it be for a new cast album to be produced? The most recent cast album is the '95 TV movie soundtrack. The OBCR is pretty great (one of my favorites), but we still don't have studio recorded versions of the Shriner Ballet, 100 Ways Ballet, the actual overtures (Entr'acte B is the OBCR Overture), Entr'acte A, and the songs from the 90s tour (like "He's Mine" ). It could be similar to the Guys and Dolls or Cabaret studio cast recording that included movie and revival songs? Birdie is one of the most produced high school/amateur shows, but it hasn't gotten that many recordings.

I'd love to see (technically hear) a new recording, what do you guys think?

Well, it's probably sacrilege on this board...but my go-to Birdie is the film soundtrack with Ann-Margret (yes, surprisingly, that's how you spell her name).

Yes hunny, that is because she is Swedish. Ann-Margret is her first name, hence the hyphenation. Olsson is her maiden name. Smith her married last name. 

And that's my go-to "Birdie" recording as well....I lurv the re-worked "Gotta Lotta Livin' To Do" lyrics to suit her sex kittenish personality: 

                            "Drink champagne as if it were water...Pink champagne, and after a few...

                             Daddy dear, you won't know your daughter! 

                             She's gotta lotta livin' to do!"
