Please give them a cast recording.
Maybe that will stop the madness.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 4/10/12 at 10:23amNo it won't. That will bring on the "If only the show could've stayed running til the Grammy nominations... it's sure to get nominated and that woulda boosted ticket sales and then if it won, the Broadway transfer would have been a definite 100% possibility."

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:04pmPerhaps when it's removed from the context of its mediocre book and staging, people will finally be able to not appreciate its mediocre score.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:06pmI hope they record it with a big washy-echoey orchestra, just like the 1950s and '60s.

Posted: 4/10/12 at 12:25pmOh, good. Ghostlight can add $50 to their coffers with this.

Posted: 5/24/12 at 5:26pmDoes anyone know when the release date is for this recording? There is very little info on the website.

Posted: 5/24/12 at 11:51pmIt seems that this production really illuminated Betty Buckley as the sole reason for the "legendary" status of at least parts of the score. I love Marin Mazzie and her incredible talent to no end, but "Eve Was Weak" and others lost any power and impact without the vocal and acting powerhouse of Ms. Buckley.
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."

I've introduced new people (well person) to Marin Mazzie's "Eve Was Weak" (i.e. they haven't heard Buckley) and they found it powerful. She didn't quite belt the high notes in the song like Buckley did, but I still think it was a powerful performance. I can't wait to hear it on the cast recording. I get more from her other performances in the show (How Those Boys Could Dance, When There's No One {although not Evening Prayers}) than Buckley.*
* This is mainly based on audio recordings
"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

Posted: 5/26/12 at 7:50amAre you guys trying to say that "Eve Was Weak" was weak?

Posted: 6/19/12 at 7:31pmIs it fairly common for a cast head into the studio and still have no release date two months later?

Posted: 6/19/12 at 7:33pmBonnie & Clyde took almost 2 months to announce their release date.
#41Carrie to be preserved
Posted: 6/19/12 at 10:29pmI thought I read that the release is supposed to be August 1?

Posted: 6/20/12 at 12:14am^That's what people are saying, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

Posted: 6/20/12 at 1:15amAs a huge fan of Marin's, I was very disappointed by her "Eve". Not sure if she wanted to make sure it was "her own" but some of her choices really just didn't work, I thought. I still only listen to Betty sing it and probably always will.

Posted: 6/20/12 at 1:39amI think Marin was directed that way. She's such a smart actress, I find it difficult to believe she'd have pulled back that much on her own.
