Does anyone know if a cast recording of Schoolhouse Rock LIVE exists? I'm going to be doing it soon and the TV show versions are in different keys and have a slight difference in arrangement. I haven't been able to find a recording. I know there are some YouTube videos of the show but I haven't found a killer production to use as vocal reference. So if anyone knew of one of those that'd be helpful too!

There should be! I did that musical in high school for the local elementary schools. We had the instrumental and full accompaniment discs. Perhaps search around? Did you get the script through a company?

When I did this show we had to work from the original TV versions, but I don't remember it being a very difficult transition at all. (Granted, this was 1998.)

Your mileage may vary, but it's the most fun show I've ever been a part of and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I only know of the rehearsal/performance tracks as discussed above. I don't think this is a show that's ever had any sort of major production.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

The rehearsal/performance disc is fro Schoolhouse Rock JUNIOR - the shortened, simplified version designed to be performed by students.
