That's what I was thinking. I doubt they're going to run out that quickly.

There aren't even 50,000 people who have an interest in this show...

I'm sure they won't run out of CD's I just want to avoid waiting around in lines, so if people are all showing up early I'll try to be late :)
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

awww, I want to meet all of you guys! But I won't get there until about 12:30, then I have to get a CD and high-tail it back uptown.

Well, they are not going to give away all 50,000 on April 27th. They will be giving away the majority of these CDs to the audiences from 04/27 - 05/31.

Well, lets say they are sold-out from 04/27 - 05/31
and they give 1 cd for every 2 seats.
40 shows x 718 cds per show = 28720 cds :)

What an incredible freebie! But how weird! Doesn't the average Broadway cd SELL less than 50,000 cds?

Can I just say -
This is the BEST marketing a show could do.
Cost of 1 CD? About 30 cents. Cost of free advertising like that? Priceless. They must be on some kind of suspension of royalty agreement, but the business this will generate at the box office is unreal - people will lend the CD to their friends, etc, etc.
Let's hope this starts a trend.

I'm really skeptical about the phrase "special limited edition".
I have a hunch this will be a sampler CD in the same vein as "The Scarlet Pimpernal" CD that was put in for free with the New York Times and only had 3 cuts on it. My feelings are that no record company would want to cut into their sales by letting out 50,000 free copies. Guess time will tell on this one.

I'm not complaining either way. I'm just excited to have some of the music. I was planning to buy it, so if its all the music its just a bonus. It says in the article they will be giving these out at shows through May.

Well, Sh-K-Boom did give away all those Bare (full length) CDs. If you buy it on their website, don't you only have to pay for shipping?
And even if it is just a sampler, it'll still be fun to get it for free, and have it signed, etc. My guess is that it may be the full CD, but only in a cheapie sleeve, w/o all the artwork, etc (which would still entice people to buy the real CD). Guess we'll find out on Wednesday!

This is an awesome PR campaign. I will be there.
