swings on cast cd's

do the swings from shows get to sing on the cast cd's?

Yes, everyone in the cast is recorded.

Is that necessarily the case? I was looking at an AEA rulebook recently, and I know that Equity requires that all company members receive credit on the album, weather or not they are recorded. it seems like it makes more sense financially to keep the swings out of the recording both. Though I'm sure it varies from show to show.

Except I'm 99% positive that on the 2001 Rocky Horror Revival, Joan Jett is not listed anywhere.

That had to do with her solo recording career and contract and a conflict with the record company doing the cast recording.

Right, but if AEA required everyone to be listed, she would have been listed with a note saying that Kristen Lee Kelly was performing in her place.

Exceptions happen all the time. The contract she had first is the one that prevails (under most circumstances), so Equity would have to permit her not being credited/recorded. I'm sure there have been other exceptions as well.

I'm sure it's changed, but we rarely recorded the swings, and frankly I don't recall them being credited either. I actually think that back in the 90s anyway it was up to the label and record producer, and not Equity.

When I was a swing on Hairspray I got to do the cast recording. I believe it's up to the producers and not Equity.

I believe it was changed not terribly long ago....as I seem to remember other conversations about it on these boards....but at my age "not terribly long ago" is pretty relative!

I suspect, if it were up to the producers, swings would never be permitted to record: anything to save a buck.
