^^What I meant was while Pippin and Cinderella are written for musicals, Motown is real 60s-70s music written by actual artists like Jackson 5 and Diana Ross.

This is not a good year for Broadway cast albums at the Grammys. I felt Cinderella and Pippin were worthier than the three finalists. I would disqualify Matilda just for Matilda's boring and endless downer of a story which was included in full. Kinky Boots just is uninteresting musically speaking, although the orchestrator did wonders. If you're looking for a beat, that Kinky has in spades, but if you're looking for more, good luck. Just my opinion. I'm usually in the minority.

The Cinderella cast recording is stunning, beautifully produced. Major snub.

These nominations really are silly and meaningless...they usually just go for the most popular shows or the jukebox musicals and leave out some very well-produced cast albums. I agree with everyone else that Cinderella and Pippin should have been nominated, both captured their respective shows very well and sound beautiful and I listen to them constantly. I also think the Giant cast album was extremely well-done, but that's too small to even be on their radar.

To ddenoff2: I hope the new Grammy rules don't restrict eligible candidates to ONLY Broadway shows. After all, the category is called Musical Theater Album, not Broadway Cast Album. I hope Off-Broadway recordings (or even Encores! CDs) still have a shot. Ditto for special events, like 'Follies in Concert,' which won the Grammy in 1986. (In 1990, a symphonic version of 'Les Miserables' won this award, too.)

I worry these new rules will mean that any season's 3 better-known Broadway hits will most likely get the slots. Plus, smaller labels will find it harder to get nominated.

Wayman, the process rather than any specific rules pretty much tells us that the best known shows will be nominated, even without a limitation. It is important to understand that, unlike the Tonys, the Grammy nominations are a plebiscite. Members can vote without regard to having ever heard what they are voting on, and obviously without having heard every eligible album. As a result, it is highly unlikely, absent some TV broadcast of the show or the like, or some non-theatre cred of the writers, that a small show makes the cut. But yes, by definition, the chances are reduced as the number of nominees goes down.

I totally agree that Pippin and Cinderella should've gotten nods, but I also think that there were some killer Off-Broadway recordings this year that shouldve been recognized.

It's a shame Kinky Boots will most likely be winning when there were so many other superior cast albums last season.

It's such BS and unfairness that Tim Minchin doesn't get recognition that he deserves for this show and soundtrack only because of a 80s pop star is bigger than him.

I LOVE KINKY BOOTS! I knew it was going to win the Tony & the Grammy. I know that I'm in the minority but that's totally fine with me.

Don't be bitter, dear. You don't want to make all Matilda fans seem childish by your reaction.

The adult thing to do is to congratulate the winner.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE AT KINKY BOOTS!

Once again it is a joke. I bet the voters didn't even listen to the CD. They saw Cindi Lauper's name and voted for her, not the album. Done with the Grammys as it is a joke. Matilda won my book.

Congratulations to Kinky Boots and to all who worked on the album.

No matter what my or anyone's preferences were, a lot of talented people worked on each of the albums..so I would not want to take anything away from the people that put their heart and soul into their finished products.

I can't tell if the Kinky Boots score, cast recording or Grammy award is more worthless. In any case, there is too much trash to fit in this garbage can.



Sometimes you have to be a little bit Naughty.


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I heard there was lots of crying on stage at curtain call after Stark's last show. Hopefully this cheered everyone up!!!
