For those interested in a physical copy of the OBC, Amazon has it available to order for $25 with a release of 10/16.

Does anyone know if there is a way to preorder the CD besides at the theater? I'd rather have the CD than buy it on iTunes for this one. I don't see it in the merch website (but at least from my phone it is surprisingly rather terrible)

"Does this show really live up to the hype"
Hardly. It's a plodding bore.
"or more of a "current hysteria?""
"Hysteria" imposes obeisance.
Witness the fury unleashed upon the poor poster who had the audacity to proclaim publicly that she found the first act a bore and left.

I don't see it on amazon yet, but I'm sure we'll know once it's on there for pre-order.

No, it exceeds it.

Thanks! Weird that it's not on the merch website. Don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon. :)

Yeah, thanks for that Kad, I had been looking on Amazon earlier to no avail (since I decided I want to get my real hands on it and not just my digital ones).

Yeah, I'd prefer a hard copy as well- particularly if the lyrics are included in a booklet.

Withess [sic] the fury unleashed upon the poor poster who had the audacity to proclaim publicly that she found the first act a bore and left.
As I noted in the preview thread, I agree with you that she was very badly mistreated.
You, on the other hand, deserve all the vitriol that has ever come your way. Make no mistake about that.

The Broadway Beat Facebook page gives it a cumulative critics grade of A+. no surprise there. Were there any negative reviews this time around?

Wow, not available until mid-OCTOBER but digital release 9/25.
This could be the first time I've ever purchased both digital and physical copies. Off to pre order both, can always change my mind.
Digital pre-order is 18.99, but Amazon usually gives lowest cost guarantee.

Posted: 8/7/15 at 9:41amIt's a pretty widely held opinion that Matthew Murray is an idiot and doesn't count.

Maybe there is no digital offer because they haven't recorded the album yet?

Digital is there, but I had to search for it specifically. 18.99.

Just place my pre-order with Amazon.
Will download from iTunes the moment it becomes available, as well.

I can't wait for the OBC either!!! I'm wondering, would it be possible for Barnes and Noble to have a release event with the cast? That would be so awesome.
Also, I don't think it has been recorded yet. Has anyone heard about studio dates? I had read it was supposed to take place in July, but I guess it was pushed back.
