A cast recording is an album of songs from a musical or opera performed by the show's cast, as opposed to a studio recording by other artists.

The term typically refers to original cast recordings made with the Broadway or West End performers: The Hamilton cast recording broke streaming records.

A cast recording captures a specific production's interpretation and vocal performances.
