Notes: Very slight changes (the show is still in previews) including moving intermission from where it was the weekend before. This recording is from slightly farther back in the theatre, but still good and clear. Beautiful show and beautiful score, that has stuck with me since I saw it for the first time.

Notes: Wonderful closing performance from a superb cast. Some noticeable but not significant changes from the preview performances I previously recorded. Huge and loud applause after every song; the audience was so in to this and especially vocal for closing.

Notes: Julie was absolutely incredible. Her singing “I'm the greatest star” is something to replay over and over. I'm pretty sure she made Ramin break like three times. His laughing seemed very genuine. Also my apologies, I think you can hear me and the guy sitting next to me laughing constantly. He had one of those infectious laughs and so when he'd laugh I'd laugh and I think I made him laugh and so we would just be hysterical. But overall it's a pretty clear recording for a shitty iphone if I do say so myself. Also I know there were two other understudies for Emma and an ensemble member but… I kinda lost the paper so I don't know who it was

Watts (Ensemble), Sasha Hutchings (Ensemble)

Notes: A workshop in between the infamous 'mixtape' (at Vassar College) and off-Broadway production at The Public. Soundboard audio, including different versions of songs not heard anywhere else. The workshop, with heavy involvement from the Nederlander Organization, ran from April 7 through May 11. Could be mislabeled as May 5, 2014 or May 20, 2014 (the workshop ended May 11th, so this is wrong). Specific date is unknown. Multiple formats of this audio exist, but unclear which is the original release format. Check with traders to see what file(s) they have.
