This is the album I’m looking forward to most, aside from whenever “Illinoise” is recorded.

Did anyone watch the performance this evening? After the show, Jamestown Revival was on stage and performed a song "Young Man"

It was also sold out and I saw folks in SRO. I'm glad to see this show doing well thus far!

Listening to it now. Man, it's so good. I adore this show and this score. It's an excellent recording. The orchestrations are stellar and the vocals are perfection. I know Suffs is the favorite to win, but I really am rooting for this show. It's my favorite of the season and I haven't had a show stay with me like this one has in a long time. I'm ecstatic it's doing so well at the box office and hope it gets some well-deserved Tony love.

Emma Pittman sounds fantastic on this - I hope she has a long long career in leading roles after this show.

After I left the theater when I saw this I was wondering when a cast recording would be released and I'm so thrilled that it's HERE

So few Broadway musicals in the last decade or two do achingly earnest and open-hearted as well as this one. Really lovely score with more than its fair share of memorable hooks, and great vocals.

This show is amazing this cast recording as amazing!!! Like It's so beautiful. The highlights I remember from the show (going again next Wednesday I CANNOT WAIT) are even more beautiful in the cast recording. (But to be fair, I was distracted when I went because of the lady taking photos and SENDING THEM through the first act.) I cannot wait to see what this cast does. Brody, Sky, Emma, Jason, Joshua, Brett, this whole cast and ensemble is so wonderful.

But also, it makes me want to tell my siblings I love them and I hate that for me.

The album's very samey on a first listen. It's got the same "wailing ballads over soft guitars" vibe as Water for Elephants. It seems that Dallas gets the most active songs as he's making concrete choices in each of them. While Ponyboy stays in "I Am a Camera" mode for much of it. I can see why some fans ship Ponyboy and Johnny when they harmonize about sharing a "love that few have known." It's hard to translate platonic male friendship to the language of musical theater.

The recording is gorgeous. So rich.

Also, why did I think they should cut Throwin' in the Towel after the first preview, but now it's one of my favorites. Feels like they changed some of the lyrics?

I've had Throwing in the Towel on non-stop repeat! I think it's actually my favorite song from the album. I saw the show in previews and then again after it "opened". There were no changes to the song from what I could tell. I think it's that the actors have settled more into their roles and it translates into their songs. The grit and emotion coming through these guys is palpable, at least to me. Totally agree that the whole album is gorgeous and rich! So glad it's finally here!

That's probably it. I just remember the part about watching cartoons felt cheesy in the moment, but it doesn't bother me now and agree is one of my top favorites on the album. Close between this and Great Expectations for favorite.

Glad it came around for you!!

I was actually a little thrown by the cartoon watching too initially, it felt pretty random. But then a few days ago I watched the movie for the first time to see how it differed from the musical and they had a scene or two of them watching cartoons, so I guess they pulled from that. I hadn't remembered that detail from the book, but I read it so so many years ago figured maybe I missed it or they just put in their own "family activity" thing.

I always assumed that homoerotic read was intentional, even if subconsciously: it’s based on a novel by a teenage girl, and teen girls have always loved the genre of “beautiful boys vaguely in love with each other,” even before AO3 and Wattpad.

Seeing the show on Tuesday, should I wait to see it first?

What a delight listening to this score today — and what a rich color palette Levine, Clay, and Chance have drawn from. The bluesier, rockabilly-tinted songs shine brightest.

Brody, Sky, and Joshua are all well worthy of their nominations, but this whole cast is dynamite on recording.

I seem to recall there was a longer dance break during “Friday at the Drive-In” when I saw this live.

The “Blackbird” resemblance in “Soda’s Letter” is striking.

The falling rain at the end of “Trouble” definitely took me back to the Jacobs.

The rumble sequence really is fantastic live — all credit here to Taymor and the Kupermans — and I keep thinking about that one moment where most of the Greasers yell “PONYBOY” in unison during a climactic moment in the fight.

"Little Brother" followed by "Stay Gold" is a double knockout punch.

Really hoping for "Tulsa '67" to be their Tony performance.

I would. It’ll be glorious experiencing it completely for the first time while watching the show.

Having avoided hearing anything from the show, I just listened to the entire cast recording and it is refreshingly glorious. Not a fan whatsoever of these contemporary scores but this one is just on another level. The cast’s vocals are legitimately strong voices without going into that schloppy traditional musical theater groove. Being extensively familiar with the original novel and Coppola’s 1983 film adaptation, I was already a mess when those famous opening lines were spoken on the cast recording. I’m now questioning if I can endure watching the show now as I’ll definitely be an emotional wreck watching the story unfold on stage with this insanely beautiful score.

I have ONE single criticism about this.

In "Justice For Tulsa", Paul (I think) sings to Cherry

"Bob went crazy when he saw you with that greaser kid.
You held his hand at the concession stand
I saw it all
You know just what you did"

And in the show, all the Socs stand behind him sing that last line to Cherry which makes it really almost chilling, ganging up on her and you don't hear that here. That's honestly the only thing I wish was different with this recording.
