The OBC cast recording is different than the leaked rough mix. There are considerable diffferneces in some of the songs. No overture, horter dance breaks in what you want, a bonus hidden track, etc. on the retail version ad the mix is considerably different. In both the orchestrations, vocal level and and overall quality.
The leaked version was sent to Tony Voters and was a rough/unmastered assembly so that those voters could listen and cast their Tony ballots. It wasn't finished....
The final cd with a 44 page booklet and photos is the recording that everyone should support.
It is a shame that the Tony voters leaked this version. It is also a shame that we who claim to love Broadway and want to support the future of cast recordings are not supporting sh-k-boom's effort to preserve them.
If you have the leaked version I would encourage you buy the the new version if not for yourself (because you like listening to rough unfinished mixes) then for a friend.
