why r the lyrics different at otto's solo on the cast album? its like "when i got there, no more shadows anymore only men with goldens fins the rhythm in them, rockin with them to shore" but its diff in the show?
The OBCR was recorded between the show closing off-Broadway and opening on Broadway. Not long after it must've been recorded, they made some revisions to the show, and quite a few lyrics and arrangements, including several of the Touch Me solos and a lot of Song of Purple Summer, were changed. In reality the lyrics, etc. that people used to the album think of as "new" have been around since late 2006. The album lyrics were only around for a few months in summer of 2006 for off-Broadway.
They recorded the cast recording when the show was still off-Broadway, and the lyrics were different. There was this whole fisherman/pirate/ship theme with some of the songs. They changed it. Look up "There Once Was a Pirate" from the off-Broadway version. "The Guilty Ones" replaces it.
It was either changed before or after. The songs itself have been re-written many times. You'll notice that the original off-Broadway songs are different than the current ones, and sometimes aren't even the same ones (ex, There Once Was a Pirate was switched with The Guilty Ones when it hit Broadway)
Yeah. It's such a good song because it has so many different characters singing. What's with that? Alexandra didn't get to sing like at all in SOHO lol. Which is lame because she's a great singer. I was kind of hoping Hunter would be doing the Ernst solo or the Gaorg solo..
She sang WOYB with Hunter, but it's not included in the redording for some odd reason. Which sucks because I would have really loved to hear her voice in HQ!
lol, sorry about that it's supposed to be the Melchior/Moritz picture (I don't know why shes there) but I didnt cut it because they made up two thirds of the picture
hey do you have the playbill podcast of spring awakening ?
