Geeez- What's taking them so long to release this? I was also hoping that this would be out sometime before the holidays. But yeah- when I asked in Denver, they also said it would be a fall release. Darn.

I would think it'll be out at the Lunt-Fontanne in time for the holiday season, and it'll probably be released to the masses in February, or whenever. Like BEAUTY and the BEAST and THE LION KING, I have a feeling Disney'll follow suit and release the original cast album, timed perfectly with the 'brand-new-muscal-just-hitting-Broadway' factor. Just my humble opinion, of course.
That is the Cd cover they were giving away in Denver with an order form on the back. Its not a hard guess to see what the art work will be.
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'
I preordered it in Denver and was told I'd receive it in the Fall. I just got a postcard from Disney Theatrical Merchandise though that says: "Due to unexpected delays, the anticipated release date of the Broadway Cast Recording of The Little Mermaid is now January '08. Please allow 4-6 weeks for shipping."
I was bummed, understandably. I hope it doesn't take longer than that.
