Sorry if this has been posted and I'm missing it (and please--no PMs or hate posts if it has--I'm sick and I've been a little behind--forgive me), but there's a cool video on the LW recording on Bway.com. I find recordings interesting, so, maybe I'm partial, but, I like this look behind-the-scenes. There are a lot of clips of the score, which sounds better than I remember. (Though I previously found it completely mediocre so that is not saying much.) And I am sure the trillion Sutton fans will want to see their girl yet again.
On another note--even in small doses that Amy girl sort of freaks me out.
Its funny, the first time I saw Little Women I didnt really care for the music.. ive seen it three times now and love it! I cant wait for the cd, its going to be incredible!!
Haha. When I saw it, I was thinking, that girl is really annoying and then I read that she graduated from Otterbein College and I thought..wow she is still annoying. I'd love to see her play her own age rather than a squeeky little girl.

I SO can not wait for this recording. Gah..I adore Maureen, Sutton and Megan...Amy on the other hand I can defenitely live without
The theatre is one of the most expressive and useful instruments for the edification of a country; it is also the barometer which makes its greatness or its descent. A theatre which is sensitive and well oriented in all its branches from tragedy to vaudeville can in a few years change the sensibilty of the people; theatre which has been destroyed, in which cloven hooves take the place of wings, can put to sleep an entire nation. A people that does not aid and encourage its theatre is moribund if not dead; the theatre which does not gather to itself the best of society, of history, the drama of its people and the genuine color of its landscape and its spirit, with laughter or tears, does not deserve to call itself theatre, but rather a place for that horrible thing which is called killing time.- Federico Garcia Lorca
Can't wait until it is released. MAUREEN, I love you!!!! I am such a dork, but even that little snippet of "Somethings Are Meant To Be," I starting tearing up. That song makes me cry so hard. Again, I can't wait.

That just made me so excited. Sutton sounded absolutely incredible! Gosh, she gives me the chills. I'm a sutton fan, can ya tell? But oh my gosh, I have never heard that Amy before (I saw the understudy) and I have never heard a more annoying voice in my life. I am afraid I won't want to listen to this cd because of her. wow.

Anyone else have "Off to Massachussetts" stuck in their head? I've been singing "Better" for the better part of the day. I cannot WAIT for the cast album to come out! Oh, I *think* it's sometime in April. Everyone in the show is amazing, 'cept for Amy. She just creeps me out. Jenny Powers, on the other hand, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. wow wow wow. You guys have no idea how happy that just made me! I was shivering the whole time, I was so excited. I now officially CANNOT wait for this recording. I really love this score. "Somethings are Meant to Be" made me almost-cry, and I was grinning like a fool during the rest of it. AAHHHHH!!! I am so excited!!!!
Amy has grown on me. I think she does well in this role. She wasn't so hot in the previews at Duke, but each time I see it I like her better.
