| The Actors Fund concert of Dreamgirls (I'm pretty sure) captures the entire score with pretty luxury casting! | |

| But oh how glorious it would be to have a complete recording with the original cast! I understand what they were going for with the OBCR, but wow what a misrepresentation of the riches the score has to offer. | |

| Of course! But also that's not what studio recordings are. It's rare if ever that a studio album is made with the original cast, and when it has been it's because that OBC never got an album, and usually only some of the original cast can do it. Right? Even if a studio recording was done with the original Dreamgirls cast (I haven't checked if all the main players are still with us, but most are at least, no?), it would still be quite different than it was, beyond their performance as actors in the roles (even if they rehearsed it for a week with a good director) the director isn't Bennett, their approaches to the roles would be possibly quite different even without knowing it, and their vocals would of course not be the same... this was 41 years ago. |

| I think EvFoDr was talking in the past tense. As in "how glorious it would [have been] to have a complete recording with the original cast!" Although, a studio recording with the original cast in 2023 would be high camp and I would demand a full documentary of the process! |
