i wonder when the heck she’s gonna release some vocal selections from the score, it’s so strange that a tony winner for best musical and score has no sheet music available for purchase whatsoever

I am currently reviewing the ARC for this book and there's a lot of insight and notes. It includes different versions of lyrics from all of the previous incarnations of the show: NYTW, Edmonton, London/Broadway, etc. It's more in the style of the fairly recent Spring Awakening lyric book rather than an annotated libretto.

I hope the team develops and releases a coffee table / hardcover book. I love my Spring Awakening, Wicked, Lion King, CFA, Hamilton, etc. books.
