Legally Blonde cd release performance/signing @ Virgin 7/17

I was at the Virgin in Times Square today picking up some stuff, and fyi they have a sign up that they're having a Legally Blonde performance and cd signing next Tuesday 7/17 at 5pm...however, you can only receive a wristband to attend if you purchase the cast recording that day there @ Virgin- those who already have their cds thanks to sh-k-boom or the merch stand of the Palace, you'll have to purchase another one if you want to attend (I confirmed that with someone who works there.)

I can't go because of work, but if anyone here attends would love to hear how it was!

Yeah, I couldn't decide if performing on their day off increased or decreased the chances that all would be there.

Since when should you purchase a CD to watch a "free" performance? I thought the performance was the thing that influences you to either buy or not buy the CD.

I've been to a signing at Virgin before, and they always make you buy the CD there in order to get a wristband for the signing. The one I went to did not have a performance along with it though, so I don't know if you'll be able to watch the performance without a wristband. Seems silly if you can't, as someone said, the performance may influence people to buy a CD who would not have done so otherwise.

Oh, I do remember that they didn't open the CD or anything when they sold it to me with the wristband. So you *should* be able to buy a CD to get the wristband and then return it later if you already have one. Don't kill me if they do it differently now and you aren't able to return it, but that was my experience.

ava- where in Virgin do they usually hold signings, downstairs in that cafe area?

I have been to multiple signings ad VIrgin and while they claim you have to buy one, they have never enforced it and I have never actually seen them do the wristband thing, save for major groups such as the Backstreet Boys. Nothing for Broadway shows though.

Anakela, I was there last night and would have loved to meet you.

According to a few cast members I spoke to, this will the main cast only.

From what people were saying, I got the feeling it will only be seven main people.

According to a bulletin on Michael Rupert's MySpace page, Laura Bell will be doing "So Much Better" and Orfeh will be doing "Ireland".

I'd also heard they would be doing "So Much Better," but oooh- "Ireland"- love Orfeh, that is going to be awesome! Thanks for the info. (and- Michael Rupert has a MySpace page? Off to check that out...)


Opened CD's cannot be returned...it's a store policy.

Um- duh? who said anything about returning open cds?
