A cast recording is a recording of a musical that is intended to document the songs as they were performed in the show and experienced by the audience. An original cast recording, as the name implies, features the voices of the show's original cast. A cast recording featuring the first cast to perform a musical in a particular venue is known, for example, as an "original Broadway cast recording" or an "original London cast recording". The Black Crook (1866) is considered the first musical comedy Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. ...

Cast recordings are (almost always) studio recordings rather than live recordings. The recorded song lyrics and orchestrations are identical (or very similar to) those of the songs as performed in the theatre. Like any studio performance, the recording is of course an idealized rendering, more glossily perfect than any live performance could be, and without audible audience reaction. Nevertheless, the listener who has attended the live show expects it to be an accurate souvenir of the experience.

History

The British were the first to make cast recordings, and they were also the first to make original London cast recordings of shows that had already opened on Broadway, but had not been recorded with their original Broadway cast. This led to the odd situation of having, for example, a 1928 recording of the London cast of Show Boat, but no recording with the actual 1927 Broadway cast, and a recording of the London cast of Sigmund Romberg's The Desert Song, but not of the 1926 Broadway cast - even though both of these shows are Broadway musicals, rather than British ones. This article is about the capital of England and the United Kingdom. ... Show Boat is a musical in two acts with music by Jerome Kern and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. One notable exception is the song Bill, which was originally written for Kern in 1918 by P. G. Wodehouse but reworked by Hammerstein for Show Boat, and two songs... Sigmund Romberg (July 29, 1887 – November 9, 1951) was an American composer best known for his operettas. ... The Desert Song was a notable 1926 operetta with music by Sigmund Romberg and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach, respectively. ...

Prior to the development of original cast recordings, there had of course been recordings of songs from musicals, and collections of several such songs, and recordings of songs performed by cast members; but they were recordings of songs, not recordings of a musical. For example, Danny Kaye made a set of recordings of songs from Lady in the Dark. Even though Danny Kaye was a member of the cast, this was certainly not an original cast recording not merely because the arrangements and presentation were different, but because in this recording, Danny Kaye performed Gertrude Lawrence's songs! (Gertrude Lawrence did record her songs for RCA Victor.) Kaye entertaining U.S. troops at Sasebo, Japan, 25 Oct 1945 David Daniel Kaminsky, known as Danny Kaye (January 18, 1913 – March 3, 1987) was an American actor, singer and comedian. ...

The first American original cast recording as we know it was an early experimental Lp of Program Transcription of selections from "The Band Wagon", a 1931 revue starring Fred and Adel Astaire. The Band Wagon is a musical comedy film, released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1953, which tells the story of an aging musical star who wants to star in a Broadway play that will restart his career. ...

The following year Jack Kapp produced an album of songs from "Show Boat" timed to the 1932 Ziegfeld revival. This album featured Helen Morgan and Paul Robeson doing their songs from the show but used studio cast singers for the leads. Show Boat is a musical in two acts with music by Jerome Kern and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. One notable exception is the song Bill, which was originally written for Kern in 1918 by P. G. Wodehouse but reworked by Hammerstein for Show Boat, and two songs...

As the 1930's progressed, Liberty Music Shop in New York made mini albums of songs from the Ethel Merman musical comedies "Red Hot and Blue", and "Stars in Your Eyes." These were more like personality recordings since the arrangements were not the ones heard in the theatre. Ethel Merman (January 16, 1908 – February 15, 1984) was a Tony Award winning star of stage and film musicals, well known for her powerful voice and vocal range. ...

RCA Victor had made an album of the key songs from "Porgy and Bess" using the theatre orchestra but featuring Met opera singers Lawrence Tibbett and Helen Jepson singing the songs. Decca riposted with another album of the same highlights sung by the actual stars of the original production, although recorded five years after the premiere. When a revival was staged in 1942, Decca issued a second album of some of the secondary songs from the opera by the revival cast and later combined these two albums onto one Lp and called it the "original cast recording."

Finally in 1943 came Decca's recording of Oklahoma!. The show was the biggest hit Broadway had experienced up until that time and people who could not get tickets bought the album. It would eventually sell over 1 million copies as a set of 78-rpm records, and millions more on Lp and Compact Discs.

Soon, all the other record companies were bidding for the rights to record Broadway shows with their original casts.

Capitol recorded "St. Louis Woman" in 1946, and RCA Victor recorded "Brigadoon" in 1947. Although Decca abandoned the cast album field in the mid 1950's, Capitol and Victor actively bid for recording rights. Sometimes problems arose as when RCA Victor signed on to record the 1950 musical "Call Me Madam" even though the show's star, Ethel Merman was then under exclusive contact to Decca Records. This resulted in two albums of the score being released: Merman with a studio cast on her label, while the rest of the Broadway cast made an album fro RCA Victor with Dinah Shore singing the Merman role!

The label that would dominate the field until the late 1970's, however, was Columbia. They began by issuing an album of the 1946 revival of "Show Boat" followed by the original Broadway cast of "Finian's Rainbow" in 1947. A year later the label introduced LP records and used the format for two best sellers: "Kiss Me, Kate" and "South Pacific both recorded and released in 1949. Show Boat is a musical in two acts with music by Jerome Kern and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. One notable exception is the song Bill, which was originally written for Kern in 1918 by P.

Under the leadership of Columbia's Goddard Lieberson, the label's cast recordings came to define the genre. Columbia Masterworks produced the original cast recordings of such shows as The Pajama Game, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Gypsy: A Musical Fable, and Camelot)" Lieberson also recorded important shows that had failed at the box office including "Candide" and "Anyone Can Whistle."

It shows how the recording studio looks, how performers are arranged, and how the director behaves.

Throughout the 1950's and 1960's it was not uncommon for cast albums to become best sellers. "My Fair Lady", "The Music man", "Funny Girl", and "Hello Dolly!" all reached the #1 position on the Billboard magazine best-sellers chart. As popular music split away from the traditional Tin Pan Ally song stylings of Broadway and Hollywood, and Rock music became the dominant pop culture form, show albums began selling less well. Also as radio and TV moved away from showcasing Broadway numbers the ability for a show to reach an audience beyond the traditional Broadway fans lessened.

Technical limitations

A 10-inch 78-rpm disc could hold about 3 1/2 minutes of music per side. A 12-inch 78-rpm could last 4 1/2 minutes. Early albums had to heavily abridge selections to fit the format. With LP cast recordings, usually released as single discs, it was not rare for compromises to be made to fit the recording within the forty-to-fifty-minute time limit. For example, reprises, or minor songs might not be included.

By the 1980s, the rise of the Compact disc with its 74-minute recording capacity (which was increased to 80 minutes in the 1990s) resulted in improvements in cast recordings, which were now usually capable of including all songs, the full overture and entr’acte, and, when appropriate, lead-in dialogue to the songs. A compact disc or CD is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. ...

In recent years, some cast recordings have been recorded live, but maintaining perfect quality. This is due to theaters that contain recording studios within. What is often a vibrant stage performance, however, often does not translate as such to discs and these recordings lack the heightened sparkle that leading album producers can bring to studio made cast albums.

A well-produced cast album should communicate the excitement of a live performance with a vivid theatricality, yet still be a meaningful listening experience for people who have not seen the show. It is a delicate balancing act and only a very few producers are able to deliver a satisfying product. Many composers fancy themselves as record producers but often their dedication to the project results in self-indulgent records that are not pleasing to hear. This is a particular problem with many of the cast albums of recent musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Alternate versions

With rare exceptions, one should always look the other original Broadway cast recording over later revival and studio cast recordings. Though the alternates may offer a more complete reading and often better sound, only the premiere casts who had weeks of rehearsals and try-outs to shape the performances under the watchful eyes of the authors can provide the authentic document.

For some musicals created before cast recordings became the norm, studio cast recordings are all we have. Studio cast recordings that attempt to document the original orchestrations have been made of many early musical comedies by The Gershwins, Vincent Youmans and Rodgers & Hart.

Terms

Original cast: the premiere or original cast of the production. (Original Broadway cast; original London cast; original Toronto cast, etc) and can include revivals as well as first productions.

Studio cast: assembled by a record company. In the early days the studio cast singers were often lesser know performers with good singing voices, usually joined by one fairly well known star. Mary Martin made a number of studio cast recordings if Columbia in the early 1950s including "Babes in Arms", "Girl Crazy" and "Anything Goes" More recent studio albums have tended to be note-complete recreations of the original orchestrations often with opera singers taking the leads such as EMI's recordings of "Brigadoon " and "Show Boat." Mary Virginia Martin (December 1, 1913 – November 3, 1990) born in Weatherford, Texas, was a Tony Award winning American star of (mainly stage) musicals. ...

Soundtracks: This term came into use in the late 1940s when MGM started releasing albums of songs from their movie musicals that were recorded directly from the soundtracks. Although these albums sold well they were marred by a flat boxy sound, as the listening environment in a huge movie palace is far different from the acoustics of a standard living room. Many so-called soundtrack albums are actually studio re-creations by the film performers as in Capitol's splendid albums of the movie versions of "Oklahoma!" and "Carousel." Today few if any soundtrack albums are actually recorded from the film soundtracks, yet the term persists and many people apply it Broadway, though incorrectly, to mean any Record or Cd of music from a movie or a stage show. This is incorrect and causes frustration to cast album collectors. The performers who appear in Broadway shows sing the score live each night and when they make a cast album it is recorded in a studio and produced with the home listener in mind. While it is perfectly correct to call a movie soundtrack a "cast recording" since it does have the performances of the film cast, it is wrong to call a cast recording a "soundtrack."
