I just heard "Love is Always Lovely in the End" on XM Satellite Radio honoring shows nominated for Tonys. I guess if you want a sneek peek at the entirity of the tracks on the upcoming OBCR you should listen to it.

I am really enjoying this special Tony Program. And don't forget, they play all of the Tony Winning Musicals on June 10th (one song from each year). I listened to it thoroughly last year, and very much enjoyed it.

My advance copy of the CD came a couple of days ago. I encoded the tracks today, so they should start running on the station tomorrow or Monday. I'm quite impressed with the recording. I've only read about the show, but I think the CD does a good job capturing its spirit.

I listened to the CD this past week as well... I'm sad that they left out the Lesbian/Aviatrix line... I'm glad they didn't give away the begining of Act II.

I love how XM plays the songs way before the CDs come out. I've heard them play Tarzan a few weeks ago, and it was great.

I want to hear it!

Sirius' Broadway's Best has also been playing songs from The Drowsy Chaperone. I have heard Show Off and As We Stumble Along this week.

Is there any way we can get XM stations online?

"Is there any way we can get XM stations online?"

My ex has DISH network for television, and I believe he has XM radio on the higher channels. He plays it quite often... or is it Sirius radio...

XM is hooked up with Directv and Sirius is hooked up with Dish. We have Directv, and the Broadway channel is not available on our package. There are certain channels that require a higher subscription level.

XM does put its music channels online, but they aren't free. I don't know if you can do an online-only subscription or not. If you have one of their radios, you get the online part automatically as part of your regular subscription.

I'll admit up front that I am biased, but I find the mix of tracks on XM's Broadway channel virtually unlistenable. They have some excellent interviews though. I wouldn't recommend XM if your main interest is getting a Broadway channel.

If you have AOL you get it for free under the "Radio" section.

They have an interview with Bob Martin right now, and they're playing "Show Off"! Which was my favorite, and least forgettable song.
