HADESTOWN - which songs?

I really hate the way they're releasing this.

I’m more irritated than anticipated.

Yeah, it seems pretty random. I would've been kind of fine with them releasing a few songs EVERY week until the album's official release rather than every few weeks.

I alsoneed some kind of deluxe album situation where they release the missing tracks from the NYTW album. I know that they had to shorten it for logistical purposes, just let me buy the whole thing digitally!"

I would buy the **** out of a deluxe album from NYTW. I'd love to hear that version in it's entirety. Even if it's just a digital album. So stoked that we get Raise Our Cups this week. I'm hoping for Wait For Me II, but I wouldn't be surprised if they left it for the workers or for the last drop.

Well to be fair, their initial interaction is the best part of the song

 Me too. 

Only diehards like me and presumably you are waiting around for these....everyone else who was momentarily interested has moved on. Seems this was not a business decision but a stupid decision. I don't get it, but they don't care that much about maximizing the Tony interest so whatever. Their call, their thing. Their moment to do with it what they will.

I have to say, while some of the rewrites for Broadway I really like, I much prefer the previous “His Kiss, the Riot.” I am not a fan of the new lyrics in that one, and I think it lost a bit of its power because of them.

Well, the new songs are posted on iTunes, there are only about 5, but they won’t download with my preorder.

Plenty of new audiences are seeing the show every single day. If they like what they see, they'll buy the album. I don't think missing songs will make them hate the show or anything. I have bought albums two-three years after having seen a show. I have done it few minutes after seeing a show. There's no "it has to be this way" when consuming music.
