Terminal Theme Deactivates Upon Record

I am currently using Agnoster from oh-my-zsh as my theme. It has a very beautiful UI and as soon as my asciinema rec starts, my terminal reverts to default color scheme and bland text. Not sure why?

Theme: Agnoster (from oh-my-zsh)
Using: iTerm2
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.10.1
Powerline Fonts Installed: 12pt Meslo LG L Regular for Powerline

Is it the same when you start recording with asciinema rec -c "zsh -l" ?

That worked!!
Side note: On my iMac, it just worked with asciinema rec. It only gives problems on my MacBook Pro.

p.s Thank you so much for your help!

For an explanation see "Why my shell prompt/theme isn't working during recording?" in the FAQ.

The FAQ link above is broken. Nowadays use: https://discourse.asciinema.org/t/why-my-shell-prompt-theme-isnt-working-during-recording/21 instead
