Anyone else known? I read Kasim Sulton was onboard and Rinkoff is a cert.
Apparantly Manchester is the first in a series of international engagements including London, Broadway and Toronto.
As for a cast album, Dance didn't get one as it flopped so bad! We Will Rock You was a llivr recording but most are done In the studio. If the arrangements are all new surely they'll be one!

I think there must have been talk of a cast album when Meat mentioned possibly doing Body for it.
The album accompanying Whistle Down the Wind was released about 4 months after the show premiered. For Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies, they were released simultaneously. So anything is possible....once they have the cast in place they could easily record the album to promote the show or to sell at the venue with programmes depending on whether they have a cast recording or other artists.
And i know there is always a chance of this going the same way as DOTV, but there are two big differences for me. Tanz did and is still doing very well and it was Jim's baby. This is Jim's baby - as we know he wrote the book as well as music and lyrics - which is a big difference to DOTV. The other massive difference is this is called BAT OUT OF HELL THE MUSICAL. DOTV might as well have been a brand new startup show in comparison to what the name brings to this. So hopefully it will do just fine.
