Aida - Atlanta (Elaborate Lives: The Legend of Aida) - September 16, 1998 (Preview)
FORMAT: MP3 (tracked) [118MB]
CAST: Heather Headley (Aida), Hank Stratton (Radames), Sherie Rene Scott (Amneris)
NOTES: From the one of the pre-Broadway tryouts. If the date is indeed correct, this is the first preview performance. The only reason I say that is there's a recording of the 18th as well that's been mislabeled over the years, and I'm unsure which this is. Great sound quality for its age. Some differences from the show that eventually made it to Broadway. The show played in Atlanta from September 16 - November 8. Originally titled 'Elaborate Lives: The Legend of Aida'

Aida - The Muny - August 10, 2016

CAST: Michelle T Williams (Aida), Zak Resnick (Radames), Taylor Louderman (Amneris), Ken Page (Amonasro), Patrick Cassidy (Zoser), Lara Teeter (Pharaoh), Wonza Johnson (Mereb)

NOTES: The show begins ~8 min in. The Muny is a large outdoor theatre and you can tell (wind and helicopter noise, lol), but the sound is beautiful and clear otherwise. Zak Resnick is way too boy-band for Radames, but Michelle Williams and Taylor Louderman are excellent as Aida and Amneris.​
