I don't know, but I've been checking the jayrecords website daily in anticipation of a release date.

ditto mx. and there's nothing on ahrens/flaherty site.

Jay is very very slow in getting things out. Honestly, I wouldn't hold your breathe. I'd say, the Fall is likely.

jayrecords seems to take forever with their releases. *sigh* We might be in for a long wait, loves.

According to Mr. Flaherty, the release will be sometime in early fall.

darn! the two CD's I'm most anticipating (Summer of '42, and Dessa rose) are both with JAY. Ugh, anyone know why they take so long?

that sucks so much, but thanks anyway!

Thanks for the info Razz77! I really was prepared to get the cd(s) for Christmas so I'm glad to hear it's expected earlier than that. Still so long to wait though...but I'm sure it'll be well worth it.

has anyone heard anything new about the cd/release date?

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 7/16/05 at 3:44pm

"Fall" is what has been said. I doubt they are rushing to get it out.

Did you see the show? In my opinion, you aren't missing much. The opening number is great, along with Dessa's Act I finale, but the rest is mediocre to lame.

yes i saw it. and i disagree. i thought the score was incredible (save maybe "the scheme")

here is a question about the recording...did they record the entire show.... i knwo there was question whether they would record everythign including dialouge or only select songs

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 7/16/05 at 4:23pm

The entire show was recorded.

[apdarcey]

Posted: 7/16/05 at 4:25pm

they recorded the whole show, but it's unclear whether the whole show will be released on the cd's.

OH, I hope they include everything on the CDs, I missed the show, so I'd like to be able to hear as much as I can get.

[BwayBaby18]

Posted: 7/16/05 at 5:33pm

thank you......please i hope it is the full show it was a truley brilliant work...minus that godawful petticoat song

What kinda 'sound' does the show have?

[apdarcey]

Posted: 7/16/05 at 11:20pm

sound? well you know how ahrens and flaherty immerse themselves in whatever culture they are writing about? it has a very african feel... there are some spiritual like numbers. some things that could be considered tribal. the most "modern"/typical theatre song is "at the glen" written for rachel york's character, ruth...

There were some lovely numbers. An exciting opening number (many don't agree that it actually worked well but it was very catchy and in the tradition of the A&F shows, told you what to expect from the evening), and a gorgeous Act 1 closing, "Twelve Children." We certainly don't need the entire show on record, but whatever comes out will be worth hearing.
