DRS offering free CDs - was there last night

Posted: 5/26/05 at 8:04am

Saw DRS again last night. My first time was for first night of previews. Did not really see any chnages, none are necessary. If Nobert Lee Butz doesn't win the Tony, I'll be VERY suprised (I'll be at the Tonys). I've now seen all the nominnees in this category, he definitely is the best. As an added bonus, every person was handed a free DRS CD as they entered the theatre last night - very cool!

Great show as usual, maybe some Tony voters in the audience?

They have been giving out 50,000 free CDs since the beginning of May, I believe? The last day to get a free CD is May 27.

Glad you enjoyed the show!

Schedule may not aloow it. DRS last night, Light in the Piazza Fri, Spelling Bee Tuesday, Constant Wife Friday (Roundabout subscription night), and the Tonys on Sunday! Will probably try though, if it's anywhere as good as The Pillowman was!

I'm sure they will sell any that are left over.

I don't think they'll sell them; they're already selling a cast recording that has bonus tracks. They wouldn't sell this as well. They'll probably just keep giving away the free ones at their performances until they run out.

I hope so - I have tickets for this Saturday night. I already have the commercial cd, but would like a couple of freebies.

Also seeing Light In The Piazza on Saturday, so I should be getting the 2 track freebie there.

I think what they gave me is what they normally sell - haven't looked at the inside yet though.

No, the commercial release has bonus tracks on it. The freebie does not.

OK - I didn't really look at it yet.

Will take a look when I get home.

I assume the commercial version probably has the lyrics in the sleeve, too, which the giveaway doesn't.

Anyway, I think the show is giving away something like 50,000 copies of the cast recording- I got one last Wednesday, so there's a good chance they haven't run out yet.

Checked my CD, no lyrics, no bonus tracks, but it's the full cast recording and it's great!
