Now that it has been 7 months after my experience with the stage version of Coraline, I am pleased to find out that the cast recording that we made has finally been released! It was a grueling recording process for me because I play in every single piece (thus every single take.) I still remember that day vividly. The whole crew were such troopers and the Lucille Lortel Theater transformed into a recording studio for 12 hours. Though that sounds like a long time, I’ve never covered so much musical material in a recording session! It was a rough commitment since it was happening on our one day off that week, but now that the recording is out, it makes it all feel worth it. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for a revival…
