New Release: Illya, Darling

1967 Broadway flop Illya, Darling is getting a new lease on life on May 8, courtesy of DRG Records. This is particularly interesting because it will mark the first time DRG (or any label with an active, established reissue program) has licensed an MGM/UA cast album for reissue, and it therefore raises the question of whether others will follow.

Notable MGM/UA cast albums include Anya, the House of Flowers off-Broadway revival, and the London cast album of Promises, Promises (featuring Betty Buckley).

Update: Eagle-eyed reader Ian Ewing correctly points out that DRG previously issued A Family Affair, also an MGM/UA recording. Please forgive the error; we've recently had to lay off our entire fact-checking department.
