I found that same bootleg you're on about just out of curiosity and my main takeaway is just how annoying Broadway audiences are. I know this'll be them at their worst given the circumstances but it felt like half the song was covered by whooping and clapping. As for her performance, it was just okay. She sounded flat in some places to me, her tone is lacking bite almost in a similar way to Beanie though definitely not half as bad, and it feels like she adds a cry into almost every note which is very distracting. She nails the climax though and she has the least problematic phrasing out of all three so far imo, the other two were very clipped and stilted in places. I know it’s different shows, but I’ve just returned from a NY visit and saw 4 shows, the audiences were unbearable at times. The whooping, standing ovations mid show and random clapping got on my wick. Give me a badly behaved West End audience over a Broadway one anyway.

Last time I remember a replacement cast getting a cast recording was when Vanessa Williams took over on Kiss of the Spiderwoman, which was great because it had Brian Stokes Mitchell and Howard McGillan doing memorably different interpretations of the score too.

Honestly, I think recording this one was a bit of a no-brainer. Lea Michele is fantastic in this role, I'm actually looking forward to getting hold of a copy.

Shouldn’t this be out for us by now? Usually it’s out at whenever midnight is in your time zone.

Bit overshadowed by the cabaret release also on January 20th but the cd version is out now for those of us who like to have the physical soundtrack copy to add to our shelves full of show CDs. Sounding great so far, and Lea,s vocals are soaring , (not got to any Ramin vocals yet). Booklet has few pictures full cast list and essay from the director.
