Sorry because I know there's other postings about this but I just really am wondering if any store anywhere in NYC has this for sale? I've looked everywhere I can think of!

I haven't found any hard copies anywhere, but I just did a search on iTunes, and its FINALLY available there.

I'm guessing there will eventually be hard copies at Barnes and Noble since the cast is doing a signing there in either January or February.

Thanks again Jay!

I didn't really care for the score. I mean, everyone on hear said it was "so beautiful." I didn't get that. I always feel like their scores are so cheap sounding. The orchestrations are so thin and seem like children's theater. And the rhythm schemes always seem so elementary. I don't know - maybe it's just no my cup of tea. The only song I really cared for "And My Body Wasn't Why." Is that the lady who played Gary Coleman in Avenue Q? It sounds like her voice. She has such a strong belt.

I think it's just the tea you like to drink because I'd hardly call their scores think or elementary.

Cheap sounding, in reference to scores by Aherns and Flaherty? I don't think there has ever been a post here on BWW that I had to disagree with more. RAGTIME? Cheap sounding? Seriously?

Say what you will about The Glorious Ones (I haven't heard any of it, save for "I Was Here", so I can't judge), but..... seriously?

In addition to Ragtime, I'd also recommend listening (or re-listening) to the scores, particularly the orchestrations, for Once on This Island, My Favorite Year, A Man of No Importance, and Dessa Rose before using words like cheap and thin to describe this team. Their books, if anything, are the main flaw in many of their shows.
