Agreeing with Movidude. While the actual concert relied way more heavily on some of the film arrangements than the album, the album itself uses entirely original arrangements by Rudetsky, occasionally with a similar flavor (see, for example, "Sodomy," where the differences are minimal).

Eric, sorry to continue the argument (a day later), as you are completely valid with your points, but Cats was a different being. It was already a hit in London and Memory was already being sung all around the world before opening in NY and being recorded with the OBC. The fact that the OBC was actually in question at the time, as I recall.

Dreamgirls had a big R&B hit with "And I'm Telling You..." but that hadn't already happened when the album was recorded. It was Jennifer Holliday and her performance that catapulted her and the song via TV shows. There was no internet, so no way to gage beforehand what would hit or miss.

I'm sure with hindsight, even Geffen wishes he had taken the chance and recorded the full score, but he made a business decision and it worked.

"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."

"In Oz, the verb is douchifizzation." PRS

Nothing could make the Cats score listenable.

The Wicked recording is lifeless, dull and sounds awful!

I quite agree and Wicked is one my favorite shows!

I always thought that Dance A Little Closer was recorded in an aeroplane hanger.

Footloose. I f*cking hate this show with a passion, but good Lord, i find nails on a chalkboard more pleasing than the score. The score is terrible and it sounds so ridiculously plastic.
