My Fair Lady was also one of our shows and it was such a relief that Broadway Records was doing it over Ghostlight. That caused plenty of confusion and absolutely tanked the pre-order sales at the theatre. The Band's Visit did a digital release in December of 2017, but the physical release wasn’t until the end of February 2018. Holiday Inn took so long to be released after the show closed that we had people start filing charge back/fraud complaints on their credit cards. Two recentish examples of annoying delays are Holiday Inn and The Band's Visit. I was working on the admin side of the merch company for both of those shows and of course we were selling pre-orders for both, and they were both produced by Ghostlight. I know there’s other shows that took forever to come out (of course all examples other than Sweeney have escaped my mind at the moment)." I know Paradise Square is a unique circumstance, but they had the money to record the album but not to master and release, hence no legitimate cast recording other than what was leaked/shared online.

Notebook will be a more traditional studio album and I don’t think it will be the first of its kind for anything.Ī number of shows have released a cast album on - or even before - the day of their first preview (including Harmony and Days of Wine and Roses from this season), so I doubt this “experiment” will make much of a difference if a March 14 digital release is confirmed. SIX was a live album that was recorded on their opening night, which had never been done before (and the show was already heading towards hit status by then). An OBCR on opening night would be a cool experiment I guess." Idk anything about this but I’d love to think there’s a world where they are gravitating a bit more towards “occasions” and other fun happenings to get people listening. They wanted a surprise for fans on opening."įor what it’s worth … Kevin McCollum is the same producer who opted to have SIX’s opening night cast recording produced and that seemed to generate some good buzz. #7 The Notebook - Original Broadway Cast Recording Posted: 3/5/24 at 12:21amĭiscoCrows said: " HunterK said: " binau said: " Record and release in 10 days?
