Okay, so we all know that Australian cast recordings are rarely made, but thinking back to the last ones that have been made, all I can think of are Wizard of Oz and Secret Garden (which barely counts, being an 8 track CD!). What other Australian cast recordings have there been?

I don't think an Australian Chicago recording was ever made....I could be wrong, though.

I got the BatB Australian Cast Recording yesterday, and it certainly has an impressive cast list. Many names I recognised, including Scott Irwin in ensemble. This is shifting the topic slightly, but did anyone see him in Les Mis? How was he?

Wow! Thanks for that, Talissa! ;D

How is Hugh Jackman as Gaston?

I might have to buy the album just to hear Michael Cormick as the Beast- he's featured on my Danish Cast Recording of Chess, and his voice is awesome!

Hugh Jackman is a hilarious Gaston. Listening to it, I have a feeling he must have been marvellous to see on stage. He has the Gaston ego down suspiciously well ;D

Michael Cormick's on the Danish Chess recording? I didn't know that. He's a wonderful beast. I haven't listened to the whole thing closely yet, but some of his bits almost made me cry

I didn't realise there was a Aussie Beauty/Beast recording. I might have to track that one down.

There have been 2 Aussie Godspell recordings. I've only heard one the 1972 Sydney cast. John Water's was John the Baptist/Judas. Shocking recording, awful interpretation. Terrible stuff.

BTW, I didn't like it

Not till November 27th. And I KNOW im getting a cd player, and a boxed set of the 4 narnia chronicles ( The lion the witch and the wardrobe, Prince Caspian, Voyage of the dawn treader and the silver chair) which were produced on video ages ago and i taped The lion off the tv and have watched ever since slowly getting shoddier every time i watch it. I can't wait. I also need car seat covers but hell i also need a new car. One with an air conditioner and a cd player so i can play all the fantasmagorical cds i get for my bday full volume! I've got it all planned! But if i dont get a new car i'll still have the cd player in my room to play them all on. (I won't get a car for my bday, but hey a girl can dream!)

There's also a Hair aussie cast from either the 80's or 90's (I'm not sure but I got it from d-store.com.au, no cast list on it though so not sure who's in it!) and FAME did a recording but it was only on sale in Adelaide (and maybe Perth?)
