Cast Aside
By: hitormiss | In: Recording Labels
7 Jun 2009Cast Aside: Despite a Smaller Role in Culture, The Show Goes On For Broadway Albums (WSJ): “Just as the Broadway musical has been pushed to the sidelines by other forms of mainstream American entertainment, so has the Broadway cast album declined as a cultural force. It still has important functions: as a marketing tool, a historical document, a memento of an evening to be cherished. But as a vital facet of the recording industry, those who make the records say, the cast album is in a precarious state.”

The Season in Cast Recordings
22 Jun 2008Reprinted from CASTRECL with permission from David L. Hobbs:
A list of New York cast albums, made for my own consumption and offered, as it was last year, in case it’s of use or interest to others. Note this list only covers shows which opened during the 2007-08 eligibility years for the Tony and Lortel Awards. Off-off-B’way is not included in order to keep the list manageable. Corrections, additions and news of unpublicized demos & promos featuring New York casts are most welcome.
