Finian's Rainbow will get a cast recording!

"The cast and musicians of Broadway's Finian's Rainbow were told Nov. 24 that a studio date has been set to preserve their work on a new cast album of the classic Yip Harburg-Burton Lane score.

Producers David Richenthal, Jack Viertel and Alan D. Marks announced that the cast and orchestra of the critically-acclaimed revival will head into a Manhattan recording studio on Dec. 7. The new Broadway cast album will be produced by Tommy Krasker for PS Classics. The label anticipates an early February street date."

I believe that Ed Mottershead reported this information several days ago. I am very happy about this upcoming recording, particularly because the OBCR of 1947 is not complete. I am looking forward to seeing FINIAN'S RAINBOW on December 9th.

I don't think I'll be able to see the show, so I'm excited that there will be a cast recording. Yay!

Oh this is just excellent. I've been surviving off of clips from that site and a DVDR'd The View performance of Old Devil Moon since I got home from the show. While I loved the OBC. there's just something about the vocals in this production(especially Baldwin and Jackson) that make it so unique.
