| I didn't see the show. The off-Broadway database (lortel.org) credits Aaron and Bryce Dessner for the orchestrations of Cyrano, but does not list a composer for the production. That's why I asked the question. After reading your post, I checked out the New Group website for Cyrano and found the proper listing of the Dessners for the show's music. I seriously doubt if there has ever been a film version of a Broadway or off-Broadway musical that did not have a cast recording, unless you count musicals from the pre-Oklahoma era. The Rocky Horror Show had 2 cast recordings before the film was made in '75. The OLC recording was made in '73. The Original Roxy cast recording was released in '74. The Roxy cast members performed their roles on Broadway in '75. Thanks for your post. |

| Thanks for the correction RE Rocky Horror - all the more significant, then, that this is happening now. And yes, I'm seeing the same thing as you on the Lortel Archives. That's an error on their part! |

| After giving it more thought, I remember that the original 1948 production of Where's Charley? didn't receive a Broadway cast recording due to a musicians strike. The Broadway production was a huge hit and was made into a movie in '52 with Ray Bolger and Allyn Ann McLerie re-creating their stage roles for the film. Strangely, the film did not yield a soundtrack recording. In '58 the first London production of Where's Charley? finally received a genuine, comprehensive cast recording of Loesser's delightful score. |

| Hair had a cast recording for its Off-Broadway version at the Public. It was reissued with the Broadway version awhile ago. I’m quite surprised Cyrano was made into a film. I saw it up at Goodspeed, and while I did enjoy it, it’s hardly one for the ages. |
