^I agree. They don't seem to realize that it is two different releases.

For the record (pun intended) the OBCR has 5 "Out on a Limerick"s,
7 confessions and no Perfect Stranger reprises.
If you look closely at the top of the comments section on amazon it indicated that these reviews are referring to the OBCR.
I'm sure they simply have it mis-listed as one disc. I pre-oredered from them so I'll let you know a week from Tuesday.

Why must a week from Tuesday feel like a long way off?! lol. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, too... Barnes & Noble has it listed about the same price, but I can get 2-day free shipping on Amazon and have it the day it's released...
Anxiously awaiting samples/previews!!

Can we get a full first-listen on this like the Book of Mormon cast recording? I'm still hoping it'll pop up in the theatre sooner than the 29th...

As a prime member, I ordered it from Amazon as well, and will have it on the day of release. (Which I think is pretty awesome, no matter how many times I take advantage of it.)
If it turns out to ONLY be a one, I'll just send it back.
Can't wait.

I'm sure it'll be 2 disc... we've seen Betsy Wolfe's photo and DRG has no information about a single disc... Same here about Amazon Prime!

Very excited that the new Drood CD's are on sale at the theatre! I need one! @broadwayspotted
@alice_sings
All right. I am officially banning myself from listening to the Drood cast album until Monday. #obsessivenesscanbecontrolled

Hopefully they are! I'll definitely grab one tomorrow!

They are indeed selling them! Took a brisk walk and picked mine up about 20 minutes ago.
Be warned, the price at the theatre is highway robbery. 35 bucks!

I can wait for the release. (I almost never buy cds at the theater.)

Kelly2, I'm so jealous. You don't even know.

For those curious, the lovers' reprise is broken up into three different couples each sharing a few lines in the short song. The couples are Puffer and Deputy, Neville and Helena, and Rosa and Durdles.

For less than 1/2 that price, I'll have it in my possession in a little more than a week. And I can listen to the ORIGINAL on SPotify.
And I can live vicariously through Kelly2.
HOW DOES IT SOUND????

I'd there any sort of "word from the chairman"-type track?
#118
Posted: 1/19/13 at 2:28pm
Admittedly, I haven't listened all the way through yet so these are just scattered thoughts tarnished by my shameless love for this show. The orchestrations sound different in places than what I remember hearing in the theatre? Not in a bad way, but there are definite accents in, for example "Ceylon/A British Subject", that are unfamiliar to me.
Overall it sounds wonderful so far, I always wish that the orchestra could be a bit larger and there are a few songs where I think some of the "sound effects" cheapen the quality of the track, but I have no complaints. I'll try to be more eloquent after I've actually listened to it fully.
Jacob- no. There is no track like that. I thought that would be the voting reprise of "Don't Quit While You're Ahead", but it's not.

This is petty: I CANNOT believe they didn't include the "Ladies and gentlemen, it was at this point in our story that Charles Dickens laid down his pen forever" line at the end of the "Don't Quit While You're Ahead" reprise. Really!? Come on...

I figured the Lovers' reprise would be some sort of "medley" of the pairings. Glad to see Deputy and Puffer's love has been preserved! And the incestuous Landless twins!!

This is even more of a stupid question - did they ever restore the full musical interlude to "There you Are?" -- I have no idea why they trimmed that....

Do you think they'd let you walk to the merch stand while the show is going on? Or do I have to wait till after, or at the intermission today?

I would wait until after or at intermission, personally.
