You're being picky.
They're not darker.
Exactly the same with different people.

Aww, those cuddly groundhogs are so cute! I'm not usually one for show merchandise but if I manage to make it to NY while Groundhog Day is on I might end up buying one.

I want one of those groundhogs!
Also I was in a café in Islington yesterday that had a 'Greetings from Puxa on Groundhog Day' poster on the wall, which pleased me greatly!

charliec at this rate your dad could make money out of selling them to us all! Best though would be if the show was going to be back over here again soon so we can go and see it again and buy our own cuddly toy groundhogs!

OMCute. I didn't even really like the musical that much but I want one of those groundhogs.
And I want Andy Karl to deliver it. In just a bow.

Just feel so happy I saw this show when I did, a month into the run at The Old Vic, with the major discount just before opening and it selling out! Such a brilliant show. Here's hoping it will transfer over again, I can't even begin to imagine who they would cast in Andy's role though, as I doubt he will come back.

Honestly I applaud this. And that mental image will frankly get me through the morning (and the evening)

The background harmonies are quite different. They've changed the phrasing on quite a few lines, particularly my favourite bit near the end of the song where Phil is singing about starting 700 fights and Rita quietly and slowly sings "if I had my time again" over the top, the Rita line has been sped up and I can't really see why. This was my favourite song from the show last year and I still really like it, but it's got that "Broadway sheen" now and just doesn't feel quite as magical! I think most of the words are the same, the ending lines about doors are new, they've slightly changed a few other bits like when Phil is talking about eating a dozen doughnuts everyday, I'm sure the wording was clearer before. |

It's a lot more polished and there are some tiny differences, but it's largely the same. I'll take it, anyway!

Just listened and now I absolutely cannot wait for the full album to be released!!! Yep, it does sound particularly polished, but it still sounded great to me. Evoked flashbacks of last summer when I saw it in London. The excitement is almost too much (plus I need a new album to obsess over - Dear Evan Hansen has been everything to me for the last few weeks!)

Carlyss was more of a speak-singer - which worked for Minchin's wordy lyrics. Always knew they'd get a 'prettier' (that's prob the wrong word, I'm thinking of vocal tone, not appearance) vocalist for Broadway, though.

^I'd forgotten what a great song that is. Though I can't decide if it's been re-orchestrated for Broadway or I'm just not remembering it very well from last August. The first part sounds more country-and-western-ish than I remember.

It's always been a very country song. I'll have a thorough listen later and deliver my verdict.  |

I think it sounds a bit more country because it's a studio recording and you can really listen to the details of the orchestrations.

That's pretty close to the London version. I can't wait for next Friday to have the full recording!

If I Had My Time Again and Seeing You have both been released on iTunes - if you've pre-ordered the album

You can buy them individually too, without having to pre-order.

It was all quite country yes. I really enjoyed it which is weird because i don't like country music at all but loved the songs with that element in this show. It really fitted the piece and is beautiful. It's what i love about Theatre because through shows I've appreciated a lot more type of music. Rap, RnB, Classical, Country, rock, motown...none of which i thought were really my cup of tea.
That recoreding though loses something from the live performance to me. I think it's too polished and produced, it feel a bit flat to me.

The studio recordings make it easier to hear all the different aspects, which really doesn't match my memory of being in a theatre and hearing everything rather less perfectly. Though at least I can hear the full emotion in the vocals, that makes up a bit for not having the faces to look at. I would rather have liked to have had the dialogue recorded as well (I could NEVER figure out what the drunk man was shouting) but I really really am just grateful to have the cast recording forthcoming.

Yes, I guess that's why I thought the orchestrations sounded different. It's probably actually that I'm hearing more details from the close-up studio recording than I did from two thirds of the way back in the Old Vic stalls. I've had Seeing You going round my head today & am now listening again. I'll definitely have to buy the cast recording when it comes out next month, if it's available in the UK. |
