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...

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.
