>>>If you go on the Barnes and Noble site, you can check and see if your local B&N has the CD in stock. The site says it's been release, but Amazon still has it on pre-order...they'll probably change it in the morning.
Is this a new feature? I know the Borders site allows you to see if they have something in stock. *goes to check it out*
I just got back from Virgin Megastore in Times Square and the cast recording is finally there! I went this morning and they didn't have it, so some time between then and now they put it out. The CD isn't on the featured display, but is in the alphabetical musical titles, as well as displayed on the discount shelf by the Hairspray Movie DVD locker packages on the floor. The CD wasn't even on sale. $18.99!!! Listening to it right now!
