I hope you're right, but how come you assume June? Have cast recordings even been announced for these two!? No but the South Pacific and King and I Lincoln Center recordings were both released in June and those shows premiered in April of their respective years. No recordings announced, but they will be undoubtedly be recording! Do you have links to buy South Pacific or K&I recordings? cant see any from 2017.

I'm referring to Lincoln Center's revivals of South Pacific (2008) and The King and I (2015) - both albums released in June of those years, but available obviously now to buy online or wherever... My Fair Lady album was just announced today btw as being released 8 June of this year! Yay!

Something poetically ironic about having the Groundhog Day OBCR on repeat today.

It's basically the Australian Cast (as heard on the DVD) with some tweaks that were added to the score later. It's NOT the cast of the current US-Tour. I haven't listened to it myself but apparently "The Beauty Underneath" now has the final bit from the original "Phantom of the Opera" song, where the Phantom goes "Sing for me!" and it's now Gustave and not Christine doing the warbling.

Really.. As long as they've cut the scream. I really enjoy the song but hate the interrupted ending with that kiddie scream.

Girl from the North Country today. I had written this one off without giving it any attention previously for some stupid reason (probably because its a Juke of Bob Dylan who I'm not a fan of) but on hearing 'Tight Connections' on EP on Sunday I've had to get this and its brilliant so far. Walked past the theatre a few times and now annoyed I've not gone to see it yet.

Oh My. Just listening to Beauty Underneath from this US release. Not a fan. I kind of like the 'Phantom'-title song outro as the intro, although not sure I'm sold on the sampling of Sarah Brightman's voice in it... then it jump cuts into a vastly changed revision of Beauty Underneath, which I really don't like. They've added some new melody that functions as a pre-chorus bridge but sits where a verse would, with the original triplet drum pattern. Its quite an odd arrangement.

Where is this new LOVE NEVER DIES recording? Is it available on Spotify or anywhere digitally? It is one of my favourite ALW scores.

The National Theatre’s A Little Night Music (beyond sublime); the Japanese cast recording of Aspects of Love; Ragtime
And Ragtime is one of a few shows I come back to again and again, without ever tiring of.

I'm listening to Jesus Christ Superstar Live Concert and I love Sara Bareilles' version of "I don't know how to love him" and "Everything's alright".

Lena Hall has this month failed to persuade me that the Cranberries aren't a dreadfully dull band, wholly lacking in excitement and musical ambition.
Revisited Sherie Rene Scott's 'Everyday Rapture', which is mostly well-chosen covers (Supremes, Judy Garland, The Band, Nilsson...) put through a nice pit band, with just enough of a kick. It's rare that anyone else sings Nilsson well enough for me to enjoy, but these are lovely recordings.
There's some wonderful singing on Shoshana's 'Spectrum' LP. Mainly big band music with a bit of glitz. A few big ballads. 'All To Me' is a highlight.

Jamie. Saw it for the first time last night (my Birthday). Was apparently the first night of selling the recording. They are honoured.

I had no idea that this is available on Spotify!
Saw couple Seth Rudetsky's deconstructions (Gavin Creel in "Going Down" and Shoshana Bean in "I believe in love").

Been listening to The Prince of Broadway cast recording, the show which celebrated the shows Hal Prince has directed, released a couple of days ago. Really, really fun. Especially the overture which is basically a game of "Guess the Musical". Great to have new recordings of some fantastic old-school numbers, some more obscure songs and just getting to hear new versions of classics. So much to enjoy here, but particularly liking Brandon Uranowitz doing Tonight at Eight, Tony Yazbeck doing The Right Girl (completely with massive tap break!), Emily Skinner doing Ladies Who Lunch (this is really fantastic) and she also does this very jazzy version of Now You Know from Merrily, lots of fun. Janet Dacal does a great "Don't Cry For Me...", the only thing sticking out was her pronunciation of Argentina, which was more "Ar-hen-tina". To those who may/would know, would this actually be accurate? I've never, ever heard it sung like that and it was a little jarring every time. The UK's very own Michael Xavier gives a good Music of the Night, too. Recommend!

The UK's very own Michael Xavier gives a good Music of the Night, too. Recommend! I'm the same! And agree! The orchestrations and performances are brilliant. Nice to have some variety in how these wonderful songs are performed. After the concert at the Palladium being so great a few weeks ago I really have JRB fever at the moment! Loving everything he's doing.

That cast recording has great vocals and orchestration, but everybody is hamming so much that it sounds like a forbidden broadway album imho

Over the last few days I’ve seen several West Enders, including Ben Forster and Killian Donnelly, recommend the new Concept Album of Broken Wings. I gave it a listen on the train to London this morning - it really is very classy indeed. t.co/84LfCC2oEt

Just starting listening to the 2018 cast recording of My Fair Lady. Stunning. Lauren Ambrose sounds magnificent. Can't wait to listen to this all evening tonight over tea and cake and pretend I'm at Wimpole Street.

I still listen to the 42nd Street 2018 Cast Recording daily.
Currently, since The Color Purple (Jennifer Hudson) has finally apppeared on Spotify, that has been on repeat.
