| I don’t think it would be a mistake at all, provided a) she’s good in the role and b) continues to sell as she’s been doing over the last few weeks. It may be that there’s language in the original contracts that would preclude it or make it even more cost-prohibitive (e.g. could people like Feldstein and Lynch have a clause stating that if an album is made they either have to be on it, or else get paid for the recording in any case as if they actually were?). Then too it’s possible, since Michele recorded a few of the songs for the various Glee soundtracks over the years, that some may view a new album even with her as less than essential. That said, if she’s well-received, and the production has anything close to the turnaround they’re obviously hoping for, I could see them trying to do it, as a way both of legitimizing the revival in the first place, and preserving for posterity the choice they made. It would obviously be “the new Broadway cast recording” as opposed to “the 2022 ‘Original Cast’ Recording. I’m trying to think… when new albums or even EPs have been issued, from Brooke Shields in Grease to Vanessa Williams in Spider Woman to Nick Jonas in How to Succeed to Laura Benanti in My Fair Lady, there was always a recording with the entire original cast that had already been released. Has there ever been an album that ONLY preserved a replacement and not the original lead? (The closest things that leap to mind are Julia Migenes stepping in for Teresa Stratas on the album of Rags, supposedly because Stratas didn’t think that particular record label prestigious enough, and in far more tragic circumstances, Brent Barrett recording Grand Hotel after so much time had passed negotiating the Byzantine contractual issues that Carroll had passed away while trying to record the album.) |
