Someone on the Illinoise review thread stated that a cast member confirmed they were indeed recording a cast album, but there was no specific recording date given. Since it just opened last week, I would assume it could be this week or next.

Shocked that the Tommy album hasn’t been announced/recorded yet. Wonder what they’re waiting for?

Perhaps the Grammy nomination cutoff?


Oh look, a bibu!

I can't imagine Hell's Kitchen won't get a cast recording, and I'm guessing Heart of Rock and Roll will probably get one.

I'm guessing that aside from the shows that have pre-transfer equivalent albums (Cabaret, Here Lies Love, BTTF) the only major musical this season that won't be getting a cast recording is Spamalot - unless there are plans for that one we aren't party to, of course.

Heart of Rock and Roll recorded their album in March.

Cabaret has done an EP with Sally/Emcee replacements in London. Honestly, I’d love an EP with Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell’s numbers.

Reports of Tommy being in the recording studio have been released.

Recording a cast album or recording the promo tracks?

It’s very unclear whether these sessions are just for promo tracks or for the cast album

It's very clear. Their instagram account says they were recording promo tracks and Tommy doesn't sing "Pinball Wizard" except for the reprise and they weren't recording the reprise.

Still no word on a Tommy cast recording. I really thought they would’ve announced it by now.

From a rights/royalties perspective, I wonder if the producers are still in negotiations with the band's business arm (or whoever controls The Who's catalog...) I hope something gets worked out because I really want a recording with the updated orchestrations. Parts of the OBC instrumentation really bug me...

They finished recording yesterday! I’m kind of surprised this process was so long, they were recording before opening. 


I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.
