'''''Teen Witch the Musical''''' (2007) soundtrack album was released as a precursor to a Broadway-bound musical, based upon the ongoing popularity of the musical offerings of the film, [[Wikipedia:Teen Witch|''Teen Witch'']] (1989).

''Teen Witch'' (1989) experienced decades of renewed interest, with television reruns, inclusion on a legacy list of Halloween television programming and with midnight theater screenings becoming social events. The movie's musical producers, [[Wikipedia:Grammy Award|Grammy Award]] winner, [[Wikipedia:Studio City Sound|Tom Weir]] and ''New Music Weekly'' editor, [[Wikipedia:Larry Weir|Larry Weir]], became interested in releasing the movie soundtrack, but after more than a decade had passed, the original multi track master tapes were unavailable.

== The musical ==

With disappointing box-office returns from ''Teen Witch'', the master audio tapes were lost by the time that demand for a soundtrack release had become apparent.<ref name="Mental Floss"/> Thanks to cable television rebroadcasts, the film was drawing midnight theater audiences. Alana Lambros suggested that ''Teen Witch'' should be adapted for the stage.<ref name="Larry Weir Interview"/> In contrast to the film production, the actors would also be required to sing their respective musical numbers in a theatre production and appear to be high school students, eighteen years after the film release. Some fans resisted the re-casting<ref name=artists/>

* ''Teen Witch the Musical'' was recorded at [[Wikipedia:Studio City Sound|Studio City Sound]] under the newly formed label Caption Records.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fee|first=Debi|title=Teen Witch Fans Finally Get Their Wish|url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/4/prweb516809.htm|publisher=Caption Records -- PRweb|accessdate=30 May 2012|date=5 April 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Weir Brothers Studio: Filmography|url=http://movies.yahoo.com/person/weir-brothers-studio/filmography.html|work=Teen Witch (1989)|publisher=Yahoo.com|accessdate=1 August 2012}}</ref>

* The stage-play was read before an audience in dress rehearsal, but did not make it to production.



== The Cast ==

With royalty checks rolling in from cable television screenings of the movie, the stage-play went into [[Wikipedia:Workshop production|workshop]] with three planned versions of ''Teen Witch the Musical''. The first version would be a concert venue, followed by a theme-park version for [[Wikipedia:Universal Parks & Resorts|Universal Studios]] and then a Los Angeles premiere with Broadway aspirations.<ref name="Larry Weir Interview" />
