I don't think it's a teaser for anything. This will come back at some point but not anytime soon by the sounds of it.

This was sensational I thought
Katie Brayben is an absolute powerhouse
The feeling when you leave the theatre & immediately try to listen to the cast recording, and there isn't one.... grrr

The second time I watched it, I consciously tried to memorize some of the songs, so that I could sing them in my mind after the show instead of just humming.

Ooh, great. Can’t wait to discover how ‘unmemorable’ the music is once people have listened to it more than once. 😄

May I ask a question?
I understand this is a new musical with original music by Elton John and lyrics by Jake Sheers however I was wondering, given that Tammy Faye has a successful singing career in her time, as to whether (in any way) they sampled some of her songs in what we saw on stage? Even if in the underscoring?
Just a thought and if they did, a little 'nod' to her.

Keep Cheno away from this. It benefits from a Tammy Faye without such recognizable physical attributes and quirks.

There is a cheeky recording of the show out there.
Any pointers as to where to find it?!

So you have never listened to or watched a bootleg? Practically every show in the last 50 has a cheeky recording of it somewhere, so its hardly a surprise that one exists for TF.

I would never record one in a million years, but after a show closes if a slime tutorial turns up on Youtube I don't find myself getting that upset about it. I'm glad the cast recording is happening though, that's a much better way of keeping a recording of the show alive.

I feel slightly uneasy about watching a bootleg of a show that has only just started it’s life. Sure, I’ve watched a bootleg of something that’s closed or has been running for years, but this feels too soon to sit back and enjoy a bootleg of this new show.

Give the producers a chance to get the thing off the ground for heavens sake. Forum policy is here : rule 3 theatreboard.co.uk/post/256466/threadReferring to the fact that bootlegs are out there is ok but posting links to them or giving “tips” on how to find them unless they fall within the parameters described in the rules isn’t allowed. It is not an exact science but the final word on Tammy Faye as things stand right now is that it’s too new, so please don’t.

If people didnt do bootlegs,shows like Carrie would have vanished without a trace, we wouldnt have seen the amazing quick changes in the OG Dreamgirls, the list goes on.There is no bootlg video of TF out there.
Ive never recorded a bootleg and would be too scared to even try.Theres no way anyone could get away with that in such a small space.

We can give up our dreams of a full show cast recording in 2023. They are only recording 5 songs from the show let’s hope as a teaser for transfer?

Transfer looking likely to be September /October. They are also reworking some of the show, so that will be the reason they won’t release a full cast recording yet.

This is great news!
Glad to know it isn't DOA and that they are sensibly giving the show another revision. Much as I adored it, it needed work.
Hopefully the publicity, that will no doubt be surrounding the show during Olivier announcements/awards, will bring us news about future plans and a chance to hear those promos (which I assume will be intended for Olivier voters).
I had heard from a rather reliable source that the show was going directly to Bway and not doing a West End transfer but it was a passing comment. I'll dig a little deeper and see what I can find out.

Do I do the “I told you so” dance now, or in September? (Sorry I know it’s obnoxious. But I did keep saying it would transfer to the West End, and hardly anyone believed me!)

I'm fairly sure a lot of us said that there was a solid rumour about the lead actress that would prevent this from immediately transferring to the west end (which it did) - did anyone say it categorically wouldn't?

I would love nothing more than for you to be 110% correct but having been around a few of these chatrooms over the past couple of decades, there is a lot of chatter from those who claim to be "in the know" and in truth, they really aren't. Until I see dates publicly announced I keep my hopes at a rather low level. That said, if and when they announce the transfer, I will be the first to congratulate you on being correct. :-)

I would like to think it had less to do with someone's health situation (which we really shouldn't comment on here) and more to do with: 1) Time needed to rethink the show and make the hoped-for changes (which they are wise to do and take ample time to do it) 2) Theatre availability 3) Cast availability as we know that at least one featured player went straight into another show

No, there were definitely posts pouring scorn on the idea of it transferring at all, suggesting that a transfer was doomed unless it was announced immediately, that it would go straight to Broadway, yadda yadda.
I've certainly never said it would transfer immediately, and posted several times about the possibility of having to wait several months or there being a long gap.

Kudos to the massive egos involved for realizing the show needs a lot of work.
Lets hope when it reopens, wherever it reopens, that they've turned it into the 5 star show that's floating around in there somewhere.
