This season seems to have been a good one for getting cast recordings, does anyone know if there's any concrete evidence as to whether The People In the Picture or Death Takes A Holiday will get recorded. Both have great casts!!! Would love to hear all the new Maury Yeston stuff ...

We saw Death yesterday and both of us thought it was great.
Both Yeston & Meehan were there. Yeston was lounging outside before we came in . Meehan was sitting in the last row right by the sound man.
After the performance, I approached Meehan . Mrs R told him she loved the book. I told him that (I realize we are in the minority here) we both like Crybaby & YF. He really appreciated the comment. I also told him they should have brought Annie Warbucks to Broadway & that was a major regret of Mr M. He was very friendly & down to earth
The same thing with Mr Y. In answer to your question, Maury said there will be one (recording). I asked him if it was coming to Broadway and again he answered in the affirmative. I finally asked him about Goya & Queen of Basin Street. All he would say was he was working on Goya (whatever that means) & he contractually could not do Queen due to La Cage
It was previously reported in a thread here that People would have a cast album so the answer to your question is there will be one for both.

Posted: 6/26/11 at 12:04pmGlad to hear that there will be a recording. While there were several dull spots in Death, I'd like to hear it again. I might appreciate the score more on a recording, as I did with Women on the Verge... .

I'd take both of those statements with a grain of salt.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

So, you should look a gift horse in the mouth?

Posted: 6/29/11 at 6:16am^ Maybe the show will get a cast recording, but there is not a snowball's chance that it's moving to Broadway. That's some wishful thinking on Mr. Yeston's part.

Posted: 6/29/11 at 8:44amI saw Death Takes a Holiday and sat across from Meehan in the last row on Saturday afternoon. He and Yeston were talking before the show and they were talking Broadway. I wanted to speak to both of them but they were deep into conversation. Planned to speak to them after the show but I wasn't crazy about the score and didn't want to have to say I loved it to Mr. Yeston. But I have heard that there will be a recording. There are 3 songs I really enjoyed and I would but the recording for those.
Just give the world Love.

Posted: 6/29/11 at 9:08pmYes, "The People In the Picture" was recorded. Yes, there is a label. (Out of courtesy, I'll let them make the announcement themselves.)

I love Yeston's work, but the man has an ego to swamp the entire eastern seaboard.
If you had asked him, "Will it win the Tonys next season for score and musical?," he would have answered, "I've already built a shelf for them."

Posted: 9/28/11 at 7:42amHow can "The People in the Picture" have been recorded 3 months ago yet nothing be announced?
"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: 9/28/11 at 10:05amWhen I read a few weeks ago about the release date for PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE, I was a bit puzzled, as well.

I got an email today from PS Classics telling me that Death had been shipped. 
....but the world goes 'round

Posted: 10/12/11 at 1:57pmSo I am assuming that People and the Picture Cast Recording is not going to happen anymore

Posted: 10/18/11 at 6:13pmIt appears that People In The Picture, will, in fact, happen - not the original label that was going to release it - a deal in principal has been worked out with another label but some points are still in limbo. But, for all intents and purposes, it should happen in the next couple of months (in terms of release date).

Posted: 10/18/11 at 10:23pmI have been anxiously waiting for news about People In The Picture - thank you so much, bk!!

Posted: 10/19/11 at 2:17pmThat's good news. I thoroughly enjoyed The People in the Picture. More than Death Takes a Holiday, at least.
