It's only an "original cast album" if it indeed is the original cast. That doesn't include such recordings as revivals, recordings only made in the studio (not based on a stage production), or technically, even recordings not made with the full original cast, with prominent original cast members missing (the 1960 On The Town, the recording of Rags, etc). So I'd take "original" out of the equation, but even then...
ha! I knew you were - and I agree that "soundtrack" is wrong. However, I have found more and more people in the industry itself have started using "soundtrack," where once they might not have. So I tend to think it's regrettably here to stay.
Yes, yes, I know. I'm so embarrassed, especially in an article like this one! There were three pairs of eyes on that article, including a Broadway maven greater than myself, and none of us caught it. Frowny face.

Yes, thanks for expanding that. (I knew it, of course, but was making a different point.)

She ought to be fired. The most disgusting comments I’ve ever seen from a Broadway performer.
Folle is actually pronounced like tall not dull.

"Folles" most certainly does not rhyme with "dull" is you pronounce is properly.
It's much closer to "bowl" but with a French accent.

That....didn't rhyme with dull. LoL. It's an o sound, not a u.
I'm fluent in French.
So am I.
According to IPA, they do not rhyme.
Folles - /fɔl/
Open-mid back rounded
Dull - /dʌl/
Open-mid back unrounded
Interesting. But very subtle. Still much closer to each other than the common "La Cage à Faux," which is the most common way I hear it.
Hmm...I think I'd rather hear "faux" than "foal." (Which is what I usually hear). At least it sounds French!

Well...it keeps you connected to The People. And even a maven now and then needs to make an error.
