Just bought the cast recording from iTunes. It sounds amazing. If you've seen the show I suggest listening to the cast recording. Love the music.

Gah, you beat me to it!

Having not seen the show, I do enjoy the score. HOWEVER, I much prefer the demo version of LIVE IN LIVING COLOR (the one on the CD that came in the mail).

Probably starting a thread about the cast recording.

Does anybody know when the CD version of the cast recording will be released? I want to get an actual hard copy of the show rather than just mp3s

It really sounds amazing. This score certainly deserved a Tony nomination, but this year there were a lot of great scores. Some of the lyrics are quite clever.

^ The award is for original music. Not pastiche bordering on copyright infringement.

I like what I have listened to thus far.

Does anybody think 'Don't Be a Stranger' starts a bit abruptly? It almost seems like the file downloaded funny for me.

It sounds fine to me...it's how it sounds in the show.

I think "Sister Act" is far more pastiche then this. Though, I like them both despite of some pastiche styles.

ok, bwayfan7000. Thanks :)

And Aaron's Goodbye sounds amazing. So much better than the two times I saw him in Seattle.

I love the SISTER ACT score, but this is far superior.

And Women on the Verge left me walking out humming, well, nothing. I definitely think Catch Me was superior to that, although I also think BBAJ was superior to both as well as Sister Act.

I would take Women on the Verge and Sister Act over Catch Me If You Can any day. I find the score for Women on the Verge to be enthrallingly original and beautiful.

I love both the SISTER ACT and CATCH ME scores. Both are far superior to the SCOTTSBORO score.

It should've been a toss-up between SCOTTSBORO and VERGE (and probably BLOODY BLOODY) for that fourth nod.

I really like this score, and the show was very pleasant. It reminded me of a middle-brow Jule Styne or Cy Coleman musical from the early 1960s or mid 1960s. There's nothing wrong with having one of those on Broadway-- there used to be plenty of them fifty years ago.

The album is really very nice. I'm glad the score was preserved. I think I enjoy it more than Yazbek's score, which I've also grown to appreciate.

Any chance sheet music will be released soon?

Absolutely freaking love it. The orchestrations are incredible, very deserving of the Tony Nod :)

Love it! Downloaded it when I woke up this morning and have been listening to it non-stop as I have spent my day off cleaning.

I really think this is one of the best shows that opened this season. I loved Mormon and Scottsboro, but there was something about this show that really hit a special chord in me. I've seen it twice already (albeit, both of those times were comped), but am looking at TDF to see when I can see it again. "Don't Break The Rules" and "Goodbye" are true gems.

I love this show and ever since I saw the 1st preview I have been humming the music. I am so happy to finally have this recording.
