RCA Records

==Broadway and Hollywood==
RCA Victor has produced several notable Broadway cast albums, among them the original Broadway recordings of ''[[Brigadoon (musical)|Brigadoon]]'', ''[[Paint Your Wagon (musical)|Paint Your Wagon]]'', the [[Mary Martin]] ''[[Peter Pan (1954 musical)|Peter Pan]]'', ''[[Damn Yankees (musical)|Damn Yankees]]'', ''[[Hello, Dolly! (musical)|Hello, Dolly!]]'', ''[[Oliver!]]'', and ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]''. RCA has also recorded and released recordings of revival stagings of musicals. These include the musical productions staged at [[Lincoln Center]], such as the 1966 revivals of ''[[Show Boat]]'' and ''[[Annie Get Your Gun (musical)|Annie Get Your Gun]]'', the 1987 revival of ''[[Anything Goes]]'' and the 1998 Broadway revivals of ''[[Cabaret (musical)|Cabaret]]'' and ''[[The Sound of Music]]''. ''[[Call Me Madam]]'' was recorded by RCA Victor with all of its original cast except for its star [[Ethel Merman]], who, due to contractual obligations, could not be released from her American [[Decca Records]] contract. She was replaced on the RCA Victor album by [[Dinah Shore]]. RCA Victor was also responsible for the [[film soundtrack]] albums of ''Damn Yankees'', ''[[South Pacific (1958 film)|South Pacific]]'', ''[[Bye Bye Birdie (1963 film)|Bye Bye Birdie]]'', ''[[Half a Sixpence (film)|Half a Sixpence]]'', and ''[[The Sound of Music (film)|The Sound of Music]]''. The album made from the 1965 hit [[Julie Andrews]] film was (and is) one of the best selling soundtracks of all time. The film soundtrack of ''[[Oliver! (film)|Oliver!]]'', made by [[Colgems Records]], was distributed by RCA, which had released the Broadway cast album. RCA Victor also released the original American cast album of ''[[Hair (musical)|Hair]]''.

Similarly, RCA Victor also made several [[Studio recording|studio cast recording]] albums, including a [[Lerner and Loewe]] series with [[Jan Peerce]], [[Jane Powell]], and [[Robert Merrill]], as well as a 1963 album of excerpts from [[George Gershwin]]'s ''[[Porgy and Bess]]'', with its 1952 revival leads, [[Leontyne Price]] and [[William Warfield]], but a different supporting cast. They also issued two studio cast versions of ''Show Boat'', one with Robert Merrill, [[Patrice Munsel]], and [[Rise Stevens]] in 1956, and the other with [[Howard Keel]], [[Anne Jeffreys]], and [[Gogi Grant]] in 1958. Contrary to the way the show is written, both of these ''Show Boat'' albums featured all-white casts, reflecting the era of racial segregation.

In 2006, Sony BMG merged its Broadway music labels, including RCA Victor, to the new [[Masterworks Broadway Records]]. All of these recordings are now on [[Masterworks Broadway Records]], which has remastered and reissued many of these albums.
