Heathers: The Musical - TRH / The Other Palace / @sohoplace

Right! I don’t follow her closely on social media, but it’s not her fault if tptb decide to utilise her social media following to help sell the product. I personally don’t think there was any lack of sincerity in her then asking for said cast album artwork to be altered. If she’s have said nothing she’d have been attacked for that also  

Ummm my attack comment wasn’t personally against you, so sorry if you feel it was. Mine was a general point in response to a poster who said CFH can’t do write for doing wrong. I’m not even a fan of hers particularly (and have never seen her perform live) but I do think she’s talented, and it’s a shame things that are out of her control (like her name on the cast album artwork) get thrown back at her in a negative way, like it has on social media.

Anybody know when heathers is coming back?? I’m guessing not till the autumn now that Carrie is in les miz. They will probably Waite till she is finished. Then bring it back to the other palace or haymaket or perhaps a completely new venue that’s avaible.

Yes, the rumours (or maybe just wishful thinking) were mostly about a possible tour rather than another West End run.
They've made us wait long enough for the cast recording!

Seventeen drops at midnight apparently.

As of right now, Spotify artwork has not changed.

When playing the song on Spotify it’s still the old artwork.

Perhaps Artwork changes need time to change on the system so we’ll wait for a bit.

Seventeen does sound so delicious. Good on them for amending the artwork, but I’ll probably use a better image for my iTunes.

Fangirls and fanboys, where you at? Cast recording is out and Meant To Be Yours is glorious.

I'm listening to it now. It's OK. Nothing new or interesting compared to the Original Off-Broadway Recording. Jamie is the best part of the whole thing. I don't even Candy Store sounds that great. The three girls voices don't blend that well in my opinion, and T'Shan doesn't sound great in my opinion, at all. And obviously weaker than Sophie and Jodie. It just sounds like a Cast Recording they rushed out because there was demand, rather than something they spent any real time on, which is ironic.

But also, I like Carrie. But something about her voice on here, is just a bit too drama school for me. She just sounds like a generic accent, and you can just tell she is acting rather than really being a character. It's definitely Carrie singing the Heathers score rather than Veronica singing the score. It's a bit sad really because I remember her being great live.

Hmm. It's good but not mind-blowing. I prefer the off-broadway recording, it's much better produced. Oddly some of the vocal choices on this album are not as they were in the show - perhaps a mismatch between what the MD was telling them to do on stage and what the writers were telling them to do in the recording booth? The voices are also less vibrant than in the theatre. It feels like something has been done somewhere along the production process that has made voices flatter (not in pitch but in timbre) - I find it most noticeable with Carrie and Jamie, whose voices just don't come across as energetic or textured as in the theatre.

What was Paul Taylor Mills thinking? An album hyped for literally 6 months will always be disappointing, let alone this disappointing!
