Annie revival cast album not happening?

[SueleenGay]

An Evening With Marcel Marceau was recorded live, too. And I might add, captured that riveting performance like no other live recording before or since.

What the hell kind of name is Nancye?

Carousel,

Movin' Out was indeed recorded live. In fact, you can hear the applause from the audience right before the opening "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" as well as a cheer during the intro do River Of Dreams. However, I am sure that they edited the applause between numbers because I remember them happening when I saw the show but didn't hear them on the cast album.

Also, Frontrowcenter, you're incorrect about one thing. They are able to make edits to live recordings. Take a look at the London cast recording of Legally Blonde for example, or the recent Les Miserables Live album. Both edited out things that were part of the stage show but wouldn't work on an album.

I love the live Moby Dick and Spamalot from England, but am glad this isn't standard practice. I didn't know that the Annie Anni. recording has songs from Annie 2. Intrigue.

Sorry..I should have made that comment more clear: It is very hard to get a smooth edit from different live recordings because of differing audience noise levels. Of course anything can be edited, the trick is to make it soudn like it was one complete performance. Live albums are bad for obvious edits.

I was hoping they'd wait until Jane Lynch joined

I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on "Nancye."

beyond ecstatic to hear this recording! I cannot wait to have Lilla and Anthony's renditions.

"I was hoping they'd wait until Jane Lynch joined"

Lynch is great, but Finneran is this revival's original Miss Hannigan.
