Audios

25th ANNUAL...SPELLING BEE - unknown date (2005).  Original cast I believe.  A little hiss, but a very listenable recording. 

25th ANNUAL PUTNUM COUNTY SPELLING BEE (Adult Show) [2006.01.22] – Not the clearest of recordings, a lot of the jokes are missed in the laughter.  But if you are familiar with the show, all the naughty humor and references to other shows is still pretty funny.

AIDA – [2004.01.04] - Soundboard with Michelle T. Williams-Aida, Will Chase-Radames, Mandy Gonzalez-Amneris.  SOUNDBOARD, edited to songs only. 

AIDA – (Covers) - 3 different pop covers of “Easy As Life” sung by Deborah Cox. 

AIN'T SUPPOSED TO DIE A NATURAL DEATH - LP transfer of this 1971 Broadway cast album.  A decent hit at the time (325 performances), but very "of it's time".  

ALADDIN – (29 tracks) – includes work tapes, demos and final tracks for the Disney film.  

ALADDIN – (9 tracks) – composer demos for the composers original concept of the Disney film, which Alan Menkin says was ultimately too dark for Disney.  Some of the songs are similar, but with lyric changes.  Notable is the cut song “Proud Of Your Boy”. 

ALICE [1978] - What?  A Mike Nichols flop?  This show closed in Philadelphia before it could transfer to Broadway, and has been described as nothing less than a disaster.  Starred Debbie Allen (Alice), Alice Ghostley (Lilly White/White Queen), Paula Kelly (Regina), Cleavant Derricks (Tweedledee, Clinton Derricks-Carroll (Tweedledum), and Hamilton Camp (Ted White).  

ALIVE IN THE WORLD [2006.09.0] - NYMF cast, with Kelli O'Hara, Aaron Lohr, Marcy Harriell, and Greg Naughton.

ALL BETS OFF - demo (5 tracks).  Don't know much about this, but Patti LuPone is in the cast.  Good transfer from cassette.  

ALL THAT HE WAS - Demo (16 tracks).  This is such an obscure little LA musical, I never expected to find demos.  The score is somewhat marginal but has some nice melodies and clever lyrics.

ALL SHOOK UP - 3/9/05 - Tracked only into acts.

AMERICA KICKS UP ITS HEELS – (1983, Playwrights Horizons) with Patti LuPone, Dick Latessa, Peggy Hewett, R.Boudreau, R.Dorfman, I.M.Hobson.  Fairly muffled, but interesting to fans.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (1949) - The movie version was supposed to have starred none other than Judy Garland, but after filming several scenes she was fired as she battled drug problems.  This was an LP released in the early 80's that uncovered her vocal tracks which she had recorded before filming began. 15 tracks, and includes Howard Keel.  A straight transfer without any cleaning, so there are still cracks and pops from the LP, but still a clear recording and a must have for Garland fans (she sounds great).  

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN – Promo release of Reba McEntire singing “You Can’t Get A Man With A Gun” and “ I Got Lost In His Arms”.  

ANYONE CAN WHISTLE - I believe this is an LP transfer of some kind of cover album. 8 tracks.

BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER [2005.09.19] – NYMF Festival Cast.

CAROL CHANNING - (11 tracks)  Transferred from LP, this is a recording of a cabaret show she did originally in Vegas and then toured with.  In one segment she apologizes to her Washington D.C. audience for her hair, and of course she sings "Little Rock" and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend".  Entertaining as only she can be.

CARRIE - 5/88 - Broadway cast SOUNDBOARD. 

CASPER – [2001] – This is an amazing soundboard recording, hardly any audience sound is audible at all.  A little scratchy here and there especially towards the end, but overall good sound.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - demo (17 tracks)  - For the upcoming Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman show.   With Patti LuPone & Nathan Lane.

CELEBRATION [1969] - Live Broadway cast.  Some metallic tape distortion, but in good shape considering the age.

CHITA RIVERA: THE DANCER'S LIFE [2005.11.05] Recorded during the pre-Broadway tryout in San Diego.  Very clear recording.  

CHROMIUM HOOK, THE - NYMF.  10/04.  With Leah Hocking, Alison Fraser, Evan Pappas, Sebastian Arcelus, & Anika Larson.   Songs only. 

CHU CHEM - My best guess is that this is some kind of demo or unmastered cast album for the 1989 flop Bway production.  

CLEAVAGE - LP transfer of the 1982 OBC.

CLUE: THE MUSICAL – demos – (8 tracks) With Denny Dillon; Robert Bartle; Ian Knauer; Michael Kostroff; Daniel Leroy McDonald; Marc Rubman; Tiffany Taylor; and Wysandria Woosley.

CRICKET - (10 tracks) - demos for the unproduced Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.  Several of the songs were later used in other shows.  My favorite is a track featuring a saxophone that was later turned into "As If We Never Said Goodbye" from Sunset Blvd and "Anything But Lonely" from Aspects Of Love.  Good quality for a cassette tape transfer.  

CRY-BABY - demo (3 tracks) - sung by composer Harry Krieger 

THE CURE - demo/workshop - (6 tracks)  Jeremy Kushnier, Will Chase.  For an upcoming movie musical about cancer and vampires.  Seriously. 

CURTAINS - Demo - (16 tracks).  Most of the songs are different than what is in the LA production, so must be an early version.

DANGEROUS MUSIC – 10/1988, Florida cast.  This was supposed to be Harry Kriegers follow-up to "Dreamgirls", but as far as I know went no further than this one staging.  Recorded from audience, some of the lyrics are hard to follow.  But what a cast - Laurie Beechman, Shawn Cassidy, Donna Murphy & Jodi Benson.  The show is sung through.

DILLINGER: PUBLIC ENEMY #1 - Demo (12 tracks).  With Michael Maguire; Chuck Wagner; Ron Bohmer; Debbie Gravitte; Alice Ripley.

GYPSY [2006.08.13] - A semi-staged concert with Patti LuPone as Rose.  In two tracks.  Sounds pretty cavernous, but easy to make out all the dialogue and lyrics.  

HAIR [2004.09.20] - BCEFA Benefit - recorded from audience, decent sound.  All-star cast, including Lillias White, Lea Delaria, Jai Rodriguez, Euan Morton, Chuck Cooper, Shoshana Bean, Harvey Fierstein, Ana Gasteyer, Laura Benanti, Chris Sieber, John Targaglia, Adam Pascal, Gavin Creel, Jackie Hoffman, Raul Esparza, Jennifer Hudsgon and Julie Garnye.

HAIRSPRAY [2004.03.24]  Broadway cast with Shoshana Bean as Tracy and Harvey Fierstein as Edna.  

HARD JOB BEING GOD - Original Cast Album, transferred from LP (1971).  This isn't the original Broadway cast, maybe a studio album?  Not a great transfer, the sound is ok but there is a lot of skipping especially in the last tracks.  

HARMONY - [1997] (18 tracks) - Composer demo, transferred from cassette with some generational loss.  The last track is Barry singing  "Every Single Day" at some kind of concert with a full orchestra, from a soundboard.

HAROLD & MAUDE - Demo (12 tracks),  With Gavin Creel, Dorothy Stanley, Donna English, Steve Routman, and Christa Justus.

HAVANA - Demo (10 tracks) - Frank Wildhorn demos.  Transferred from a casette, so some hiss and distortion.  With Linda Eder.  I'm not a huge Wildhorn fan, but this is probably my favorite of his work.  Would love to trade for a cleaner copy.

HELEN OF TROY – [2005.06.15] Reading/workshop.  Featuring Eden Espinosa, Alice Ripley, Bruce Vilanch, Cary Shields, Brandy Chavonne Massey, Klea Blackhurst, Will Swenson, and Sharon Connelly.  The recorder sat near a speaker, so there is a lot of bass overload at times.

THE HIGHEST YELLOW – [2004.11.06] – Signature Theatre Company.  Featuring Marc Kudisch, Judy Kuhn, Jason Danielly, Donna Migliaccio, Harry Winter, Steven Gregory Smith and R. Scott Thompson in this Michael John LaChuisa musical.  A little quiet but listenable.  

HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN - [1978]  Demo (16 tracks).  Sung by composers Cy Coleman and Barbara Fried.  The musical closed on the road, which inspired Coleman to write "13 Days to Broadway", a musical about a musical that closes on the road, which utilized some of these songs.  

HOME SWEET HOMER - 1/1976.  The 1 performance flop.  With Yul Brynner, Joan Diener, Russ Thacker, and Martin Vidnovic.   

HOT SEPTEMBER - [9/1965] (songs only).  Recorded out of town in Boston.  With Sean Garrison; Sheila Sullivan; Betty Lester; Lovelady Powell; Eddie Bracken; Lee Lawson

HOT SPOT – demos (9 tracks) 

HOT SPOT – 1963 - live Mary Rodgers musical starring Judy Holliday.  Songs only.  Lyrics are a challenge to hear, but considering the age of the show not surprising.    

HOT SPOT – Covers – Includes “Don’t Laugh”, “Hey Love”, “Gaby”, “I Think The World Of You”.  

THE HOUSE OF MARTIN GUERRE [1996.06.23] – This version by composers Leslie Arden and Anna Cascio played the Goodman Theatre.  With a cast that included Anthony Crivello (Arnaud), Julain Molnar (Bertrande), Frances Limoncelli (Bertrande’s friend), Hollis Resnik (Bertrande’s mother), Willie Malnati (Martin?), Kelly Anne Clark (Guerre sister), Marnie Nicolella (Guerre sister), Kingsley Leggs.  A bit quiet but ok.

IN THE BEGINNING – Demo (13 tracks) – The Maury Yeston Bible-based show.  Some noise due to cassette transfer, but a good recording.  

INTO THE LIGHT [1986.10.0] The six performance flop about the Shroud of Turin.  Cast included Dean Jones; Thomas Batten; Susan Bigelow; Alan Brasington; Ted Forlow; Danny Gerard; Mitchell Greenberg; Kathryn McAteer; William Parry; Casper Roos; Gordon Stanley; Peter Walker; and Lenny Wolpe. 

INTO THE WOODS – demo – (10 tracks) – 6 tracks are an early demo with what I assume is Ellen Foley.  The lyrics are vastly different, this is probably one of the most interesting demos I’ve ever listened to. The last four are from a rehearsal with the original Bway cast.  

INTO THE WOODS - Reading with Betty Buckley and a partial cast - sounds like Sondheim at the piano singing some of the parts.  Terrible sound unfortunately, most of the words are impossible to make out.  Anyone have a better version?

INTO THE WOODS - [12/1986] Original San Diego cast.  Some of the original Bway company (Gleason, Zien, etc) but some changes, with Ellen Foley as the witch.  The baker's wife dies by eating a poisoned apple.

JASON ROBERT BROWN: LIVE AT BIRDLAND [2006.10.16]

JEAN SEBERG  - (1983) Not sure if this is a workshop or perhaps a backers audition, but it seems like a large audience watching the show performed with some stage directions ("blackout!") and sung with a piano.  With Elizabeth Counsell, John Savident, David Ryall and Joss Ackland.  

JEEVES - Original 1975 London Cast Album, transferred from LP.  With Michael Aldridge, Debbie Bowen, Angela Easterling, David Hemmings and John Turner.  

JEKYLL & HYDE - (Australian Cast) - This 7 track CD was released in Australia in preparation for a production of the show that was ultimately cancelled.  The CD had been released to radio stations for publicity, but was almost immediately recalled due to rights issues.  Luckily a few copies made it out and have been circulating.  Simon Burke as J&H, Delia Hannah as Lucy, and Terri Crouch as Emma.  

JEKYLL & HYDE - An eight track demo in Spanish featuring Carlos Marin (now of Il Divo) and Gema Castano.

JERSEY BOYS - [2005.11.04]  Tracked only by acts.

A JOYFUL NOISE – Covers – Vikki Carr singing “Until Today” and the Johnny Mann Singers singing “Wither Thou Goest” and “A Joyful Noise”.  

JUST SO (unknown date) Live London Cast.  

KERMIT: PRINCE OF DENMARK - demo (8 tracks) sung by composers - this was their pre-Avenue Q project.

LA BOHEME - I have a number of recordings of the Baz Luhrmann Bway cast featuring various rotating cast members.  (including David Miller pre-Il Divo.)  

LA STRADA - 12/1969.  The 1 performance flop with a score by Lionel Bart.  With Bernadette Peters, Larry Kert, Stephen Pearlman.  Songs only.

LESTAT [2005.12.28]  San Francisco Cast.  

LET 'EM ROT [1988] - Soundboard, songs only.  No info on the cast, but I believe it played both the White Barn Theatre in CT and the Coconut Grove Playhouse in FL before they changed the title to "Welcome To The Club" (and then "Exactly Like You", and THEN to "Lovers, Lawyers and Lunatics".)

LET MY PEOPLE COME - LP transfer of the 1974 Off-Broadway cast album.  The show itself later transferred to Broadway where it played 128 previews without ever opening.  Don't be misled, this is a dirty and graphic sex musical.  Sometimes funny, always blunt, this is not for anyone offended by sex talk.  I will only trade this with people I know, not because it is so rare or special, but just because I'm not taking the chance of trading with someone who is underage.  Sorry! Featured in the cast is Shezwae Powell, and although her songs are relatively tame I wonder what she thinks of this show now.  

THE LIEUTENANT - LP Transfer of the unreleased Cast Album for the 1975 9 performance flop about the Vietnam war.  Starring Eddie Mekka.  It's a mess, but worth a listen if you're into flops.
