Listening to Bare: a Pop Opera for the first time in a very long time. I forgot how much I loved it. It's genius, the leitmotif we first here in "Auditions" gives me chills.
Wish they revived it in London as I never got the chance to see it.

I’m really looking forward to Company and Candide (LSO) but still no word of when they are coming out. Last year, LSO’s Wonderful Town took 9 months before it was released. Seems a long wait ... best things come to those who wait. Anyroad here is a nice geeky list www.playbill.com/article/upcoming-cast-recordings-com-171219

Not really a cast recording either but these 3 songs have been making my heart warm and soft for the past week:
I love the lyrics, the instruments and the melancholy sound/feel.

I promise my next post will be about cast recordings again, but I really think that musical theatre fans can appreciate this. Here are some clips of OG3NE, a group of 3 Dutch sisters singing together. I just love their harmonies and thought some West End lovers on this board will like it too. I think they are extremely talented and musical. They are like a bouquet of flowers bursting into song Emotion: Magic: Hold On: Change will come: Dirty Old man: Want to want me: Un-break my Heart: Hold my hand: Just give me a reason: The power of christmas: Clown: And here they sing "Sing", with a style they invented themselves called "echoing", which is amazing in my opinion: Working my way back to you: Laughter in the rain: Stupid kind of lover: Lights and shadows: And a live version of "Change will come": And a fun experiment in a tv show singing the classical Schubert song "Schone welt" in their own style: Het is over: How deep is your love: The beautiful French song "Le Festin": Acapella: A whole new world: Happy New year: Alles is nog hier:

Gave ‘Six’ another go the other day on the way to a meeting and haven’t had it off since (fnar fnar). As cheesy and cheap as it sounds, it has something and I can imagine it being quite something live onstage.

Currently obsessing over the Hello Again movie cast recording (after watching the bizarre movie itself).

Hadn't realised it was out and now listening on repeat Sounds like they were really going for the Hamilton vibe!

When Roger Allam says, "When was the last time you didn't get your way?" I melt a little bit. Sings "My boss is quite the ladies' man, and that's my biggest gripe! 'Til I showed up, he'd never hired a girl 'cause she could type!" (hee,hee). Also, if you like black humour, the whole lyric to "All Ya Have To Do Is Wait" still makes me laugh.

Currently listening to the original West End cast recording of City Of Angels. First time ever! Enjoying it a lot! I love that recording but there is something that really bugs me every time I hear it. At the very end of 'Funny' Martin Smith sings That I can't laugh, anymore. But laugh sounds like Lass. I can't unhear it. I wish they could have re-recorded it. On the whole, I much prefer it to the OBCR.

Several at the moment:
Canadian version of Sunset Boulevard: marvellous Japanese version of Aspects of Love: quirky but lovely (still ALW’s finest score for me) National’s A Little Night Music: gorgeous The Prom: deliciously camp

Interestingly, on first listen recently, I wrote off Beetlejuice and Tootsi as being fairly samey and bland but I’m enjoying both a lot more now. Tootise has a few catchy songs with witty lyrics and I’m loving ‘Won’t Let You Down’ and ‘unstoppable’. With Beetlejuice I’m liking ‘That Beautiful Sound’ and ‘Invisible’ with a well arranged Day O too!
If/when Tootsie transfers I’ll definitely see it.

Witches of Eastwick. Thanks to 6 months free Apple music I am listening to all the stuff I've wanted to hear but not necessarily buy.

Just listening to The Drowsy Chaparone. Not heard the music since seeing it in the west end years ago during its short run. Listening now reminds me how much fun it was. It was absolutely hilarious and watching EP sending herself up was genius. I think you have to be a real musical fan to get it which was probably part of its downfall as jo public just wouldn't have a clue what it was all about. Would make a great Christmas revival at The Menier.

Recently I was trying to find something that Jenna Russell had sung similar to Bridges of Madison County in style to feel a little more confident that she'll be able to handle the role and I came across her singing Another Winter in a Summer Town from Grey Gardens, which I sadly managed to completely miss, so I've been obsessed with the Broadway Cast Recording recently (and I already loved Christine Ebersole's voice from the little I'd heard so this was a treat to discover!).
