YES! This is so exciting. There is a piano bar in Denver that I go to and the piano man has been dying to have this!

According to this pre-order link on Amazon, the book of vocal selections should be released April 1st for only $19.99!

I do too, but appreciate it more after I heard a cast member say it's purposefully race/featureless to further emphasize how it's "our" story.
I can't wait for the onslaught of overuse of these songs in cabarets and auditions now.

I still haven't received a confirmation from Amazon that the book of vocal selections have been released and are shipping and the wait is positively killing me (I caved and bought helpless online however). has anyone received the actual physical book and if so where did you get it? I'm dying without it!
Posted: 4/3/16 at 3:06pm
Looks like they don't physically have it yet. I pre-ordered it too, and it still says its waiting to be able to ship.
The good news: it's 3 dollars cheaper.
Posted: 4/3/16 at 4:21pm
The first seller to stock physical folios is always musicdispatch.com.
I believe they are fulfilling Hamilton orders within 3 days at this time.
Posted: 4/3/16 at 5:07pm
I've never heard of that site! I'll check it out.
Posted: 4/3/16 at 10:06pm
Yikes! Just got an update from Amazon. Estimated delivery is now 4/21 - 4/27.
Posted: 4/3/16 at 11:06pm
damn it all to hell Amazon. now deeply considering musicdispatch despite having to pay for shipping (I have Amazon Prime explicitly to not pay for shipping)
Posted: 4/6/16 at 1:28pm
another block in my quest for the book of vocal selections this morning: I had cancelled my Amazon order and ordered at musicdispatch several days ago, but then today received an email saying the item was "backorder as of 04/05/2016:1 - Hamilton. Items on backorder will not be charged to your credit card until they come into stock and are ready to ship." What is going on with this item??
Posted: 4/6/16 at 2:26pm
They underestimated production time and/or demand?
Posted: 4/6/16 at 3:35pm
They must have. I received mine a week ago.
I'm sorry gypsy. But the I suspect you'll still get your copy faster from musicdispatch.
As to the folio, it's very nice. Large, clean engraving and thoughtfully arranged.
My only complaint is they omitted The Story of Tonight.
Posted: 4/6/16 at 6:11pm
thanks for the sympathy! it's been a tough wait. there's several songs I was surprised and sad theyweren't included, chief among them Take a Break and Say No to This.
Posted: 4/6/16 at 7:28pm
Just got another update. I'll have it next Weds. (Amazon.)
Posted: 4/18/16 at 5:31pm
so now that I had the selections (i received them last wednesday) I am even sadder about what's not included. only 17 songs of the greatest musical in a generation? maybe they will release a volume 2 with songs left over.
Posted: 4/18/16 at 6:02pm
You know I've only played through it quickly so I didn't even notice those omissions.
I thought most of the songs they left out were the rap-centric ones like the Cabinet Battles, but now that you mention it here's what's NOT included:
(and * indicates the songs I think should have been included)
Aaron Burr, Sir
The Story of Tonight*
Farmer Refuted*
Right Hand Man
A Winter's Ball
The Story of Tonight (reprise)
Stay Alive*
Ten Duel Commandments
Meet Me Inside
Guns and Ships
Yorktown (the World Turned Upside Down)*
What Comes Next
Non-Stop*
Cabinet Battle #1
Take a Break*
Say No to This*
Schuyler Defeated
Cabinet Battle #2
I Know Him
The Adams Administration
We Know
The Reynolds Pamphlet
Blow Us All Away
Stay Alive (reprise)
The Election of 1800
Your Obedient Servant
Best of Wives and Women
The World Was Wide Enough
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tell Your Story*
