This was a bit of a surprise that this came so early, considering it hasn't started previews yet. I'm sure PS Classics will do a great job with it though.
PS Classics 2 Disc Violet Recording
So excited!
Thrilled! I'll be curious to hear what was cut to make the show one act--and about the added new songs. The original cast album is great (though I always found it odd that it's on some record label I've never heard of before who seems to use CDRs, though has full booklets.)
Apparently the CD is already shipping from PS Classic's CD and will have a May 20th Digital release. The sound clips sound awesome! I'm really excited for this one.

Thanks for posting this, the recording sounds great. Let It Sing? A-MAH-ZING.

The full version of 'All to Pieces' (one of my favourite songs from the show) has been released
AUDIO EXCLUSIVE: Sutton Foster, Colin Donnell and Joshua Henry Sing
Oooh, thank you! They all sound great.
This is moving along so quickly! Sutton posted a picture of the album on Twitter tonight!
(Apparently, all I do is monitor Sutton Foster's Twitter feed).

Got mine in the mail today. Just another amazing recording from PSClassics. I love the new song for Monty, "Last Time I Came to Memphis" although I'm sad they removed one of my favorite songs in the score, "You're Different".
But really, a great recording and Sutton Foster and company sound amazing.

I've been listening to it all day since I got it yesterday. It sounds wonderful. A very rich recording and Sutton sounds fantastic. Also, they did a beautiful job with the booklet and the packaging. Love the shading on the title.
Definitely will be in high rotation for me! Butat the same time, I can't stop listening to Bridges either. It is hard to decide between the two which one to listen to!
I love this recording! I was a little put off by all the cursing at first simply because I didn't realize it was that kind of show. I admit not knowing much about it before I played it, but Sutton and the rest of the cast are wonderful and I love all the dialogue that is included. It makes it very easy to follow the story for a novice listener. The new song is kind of sexy too. I'm very glad that this was recorded and that it was done with such love. PSClassics succeeds again.

Picked up a copy tonight at the theater.
If I can't see the show but want to go by the theatre to pick up a copy of the recording, is it possible they'll even let me in?
I just received my copy in the mail and love it. Here's my review: http://castalbumreview.blogspot.ca/2014/05/album-review-violet-original-broadway.html
