Tweet from Jason Robert Brown (@MrJasonRBrown) dated 26th August:

"Big concert tonight at the Apollo, then recording the "13" cast album all day tomorrow! I'm exhausted in advance!"

And another from yesterday (27th August)

"That's a wrap! Cast has been sent home, the "13" recording session is over. What a fantastic month this has been! Thank you @NYMTuk!"



I unfortunately didn't get to see the show during its run last week, but love the score from the Original Broadway Cast Recording. Look forward to this!

A wonderful production with a really impressive cast.

Finally found an appreciation for this score having seen the show in context. Laughed more than any other musical in last year or so.

I caught this during my London trip last week. Decided to watch this instead of Soul Sister and was glad I did. Seriously talented kids and just a great, fun musical.

A fantastic show with a brilliant score. Loved it in New York and loved it again last week. SO much amazing young talent on that stage - all of the kids were superb and Jacques Miche as Brett stole the show (a genuine triple threat with immense stage presence and a big future ahead of him, I think).

Great that it's getting a cast recording - especially as this production had the song Being A Geek restored (it was in the original LA production but cut for the Broadway show).

This is such good news, 13 is often judged because of the young cast, but it's a fun and brilliant musical! Glad Being a Geek will be included.

How wonderful for the cast. Saw it friday and thought it was terrific, so funny.

I saw it and loved it on Saturday and then went back on Sunday for JRB's wonderful concert. Really pleased that they got to record a cast album.

"Being a Geek" is included on the second release of the OBC.

Hopefully this cast recording will have the full version of "Brand New You." I don't understand why they thought it would be a good idea to fade it out on the OBC.
