Posted: 5/30/09 at 10:47pmyou've just proven that none of these shows are gone forever because you remember them and just reminded all of us of them (unfortunately).
when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Posted: 5/31/09 at 12:41amSpeaking of Crybaby, I actually saw a poster for it today that was never taken down. It was by a parking lot on West 43 rd.

Thank you for reminding me of Lennon. And that's not sarcastic.

Why stope with shows from the last few years? Hundreds of flops never got recorded: THE GIRL FROM NANTUCKET, IF THE SHOE FITS, HIT THE TRAIL, REUBEN REUBEN, CARNIVAL IN FLANDERS, COPPER AND BRASS.
It's just a fact of life. Not every flop show gets recorded, and in most cases it's a good thing.
Of the list Bryan provided, 4 are jukebox shows so the songs are available elsewhere. CRY BABY and IN MY LIFE have demo discs floating around. Only GLORY DAYS is truly gone.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 5/31/09 at 12:23pmSpeaking of gone forever...did Capeman ever get a fully realized cast album? I seem to have some sort of one disc demo or something lying around here.

Capeman did actually get recorded and I believe you can buy it on US iTunes. If you want to buy a physical CD though, there's only the Songs from the Capeman CD that is mostly Paul Simon.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 5/31/09 at 2:58pmPLATINUM didn't get recorded, but SUNSET (the one-night revision with Tammy Grimes) did--explain THAT.
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Glory Days has a promotional CD that was sent out.

Or 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue which lasted 7 performances... or La Plume de Ma Tante, which ran over two years on Broadway.
It's just a fact of the industry. Albums are expensive; and for one reason or another certain shows aren't recorded.

Posted: 5/31/09 at 9:42pmI have faith that Joe Brooks will mount a revival of his seminal classic "In My Life". Joe is just that kind of guy.
