Just heard for the first time the OLC of "Anne Of Green Gables." What a glorious sounding orchestra, and in the main a really interesting and vibrant score. Hope someone might have a go at a revival some time, now. Now that brings back memories!! When i was young I played Gilbert in an amateur production. He has a nice little song called Wonderin'.

I really love this song. That climax from about 2:20 - I could just die.

The new Broadway cast recording of Once On This Island is out. Interesting arrangements and a killer Mama Will Provide.

That's fun. I do love a Wurlitzer. Talking of which has anyone heard the Wurlitzer at the Odeon Leicester Square? A few years ago they had a showing of Putting it Together there and before the film the was an organ recital and the organ comes up from the floor. Pure camp.

I wish I could play that. . . . . . . Oh, wait, you just click the little triangle in the middle.

New EP of Lena Hall is available. This time Sir Elton John! Your next post brings you seniority. I'm finding Lena's EPs a good way to mark the year out, and looking forward to finding out who comes next. I think Pink has been confrimed in a Rolling Stone article (Pink is a great singer and performer, and her best 4 songs in a Lena Hall EP would be a boon). Queen seems likely. Hopefully a bit more MT, and a musician or two just outside the middle of the road.

I wish I could play that. I could manage the left and right hands. The coordination organists require to play with their feet also baffles me.

Another great Hands on a Hardbody video just appeared in my Twitter. The cast recording has really been a grower for me - MT was a new area for Trey Anastaiso to be working in (his dayjob kinda dwarfs this), but he's one of the very finest playing today, and it has gotten under my skin.

I never paid much attention to Anyone Can Whistle, and besides the title song, I didn't know much about the score. I was accidentally listening to a random track and decided to give the entire Carnegie Hall concert a listen. It's absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are so sharp and the tunes are great. Me and My Town..what a number. I then decided to give the OBC a spin and I love the sound quality in it, and the young and vocally untrained Angela Lansbury in it is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

I often find myself listening to an entire cast recording on my journeys to/from London. The Girls (Calendar Girls), Waitress, Dear Evan Hansen, Sister Act and Hairspray have been the ones I've played fully over the past few weeks

It sounds nice, but I have a question (I don't intend to star a sh*tstorm). Is Ben overusing his vibrato? I have no musical training, so I don't know how good/bad/fantastic it is, I don't know how difficult it is to sing like this, so I'm asking more experienced people.

He is. I recently saw a video of him "auditioning" for the film remake of West Side Story and I felt that he was Evan Hansen-ing just about everything. The twitch, the mannerism, the music reading..he needs to snap out of it.

Stumbled upon this one yesterday (after watching some clips of Deaf West Spring Awakening). Just, wow...

I just received my CD of Calendar Girls, but while I'm happy to finally have a recording of this lovely little show I'm a bit gutted that the booklet doesn't contain the full lyrics. A proper nice booklet is basically the main reason left to buy the physical CD for me. Will give it a spin now...

I'm looking forward to this year's cast recordings of the revivals of Carousel, My Fair Lady (both out in June, I'm assuming), and Follies (when will this be out? Summer, too?)

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!
