Stage & Screen » Cast Recordings » Cast Recordings

Cast Recordings aim to capture the chemistry of a high-caliber theatrical cast for fans who may not have the wherewithal to witness performances of musicals in person. They draw chiefly upon the highest-profile productions of musicals -- often staged either on Broadway or in London, often featuring established or rising stars. Cast recordings are typically done in carefully controlled studio settings, not at live theatrical performances, and while some albums may contain short snippets of dialogue from the play, the emphasis is always decidedly on the songs.
