I am assuming the cast recording will be availabale in the City starting on Tuesday the 24th? And everywhere else the 31?

Anyone know for sure?

Anyone? Or does anyone atleast think the CD will be available this week in NYC?

Why would it be available early here? I guess the theatre would probably have it early, but the stores, too?

I'm hoping they have it early. I'd love to get it while I am in town next week.

Neither Colony or the theatre had it Thursday. They both said they may get it in before the 31st, but couldn't give me an exact day.

Sweet Charity and other cast recordings were available in NYC before their official release date. For instance I got the Sweet Charity Revival CD at the theatre on June 19, and later that week people on here were saying it was available in the major Broadway record stores (Colony, Virgin) And the official release date was July 12.

So I have a feeling the Sweeney recording will be appearing in record stores this week in NYC.

And does anyone know if you can buy merchandise at a theatre without seeing the show? Would it be possible to ask the box office if I could buy the CD?

Tell the ticket collectors that you just want to buy somethiung and they will let you in.

but why would you buy it at the theatre [or colony] when they will charge more than you will be able to get it for at best buy or virgin, etc etc

i never understood why one would waste $$$ like that!

ljay889, the merchandise booth was moved to the lobby during intermission when I saw the show on Thursday, so if you're in the area at that time it should be easy enough.

For me, I can wait a few days if it means a cheaper cd.

Patti LuPone stated onher website that the CD would be out on the 24th. So, I'm guessing that will be the date it is in the theatre at least.

Does anyone know what day it will be on itunes on? My obsession needs to be quenched! I don't think I can wait another week!

I will never buy a new release from Colony, they charge way too much.

The theatre will most likely sell it for the list price, which I believe is $21.99 - which I don't mind spending for 2 discs.

I would rather pay the list price to get it early, then to wait to just pay a few dollars less.

Plus the record stores in the area I live in (NJ) never gets cast recordings on the day they are released. And I hate going crazy to find a cast recording around here.

well most likely at the theater they will hike up the price just to make it a round number, like $20 or $22 or something like that.
