Hey, I'm debating if I should get the "Drowsy Chaperone" Vinyl Album with "more" than the OBCR. Does anyone else have this? If so, how much more dialogue is on this album? Is it worth $50?

There is only a little bit more dialogue to compensate for the lack of narration from the Man in Chair and to make it sound more like an actual cast recording from the 1920s. I haven't timed it, but there might be a minute or two of extra dialogue that isn't on the CD release. Mine also came with a CD of the contents of the vinyl so you can add the songs with extra dialogue to your itunes if you want.

I have the vinyl, and I haven't listened to it in years, but as I recall, it has the Drowsy songs as they would be heard on an actual cast recording of the show-within-the-show: no Man In Chair, no skips, and no "Nightingale" (the song that begins Act II that is actually from a different show).

Other than that, I don't recall much difference. It is basically a very elaborate prop, but it's fun to have. I keep it framed on my wall with other Broadway LPs and posters.

I know there's the real OBC, but I wish the vinyl CD content was available on iTunes... even if it's just the dialogue.

I have it and am glad that I made the purchase just for the collector's value, and actually owning the record that is displayed in the show. But is it worth the $50 MSRP? Well, debatable...

When you purchase the vinyl album, I believe it comes with the CD of what's on the vinyl too.

As a collector, it was worth it. As a fan, I could've lived without it.
