Are you sure you, like, want to hear this music again?

Hahaha. I kid, I know some people are looking forward to hearing that score again. I did love Nina's big song, to be honest. I hope you get better answers soon

As a defender of the show (though I realize it's flawed), I actually am anticipating the cast album a bit, as I think it was a rather tuneful score that will probably get a bit more recognition once people get a chance to hear it on its own (I found it leagues better than the songs Schwartz turned in for Wicked part 2).

As a non-defender of this show (I found it pretty dreadful, which is not a revolutionary opinion on this board), I am also very interested to hear the score on its own. I am quite curious whether some of these songs, which I didn't love in the theater, might present themselves better when unconnected to the shaky book and weak direction. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised!

For all the crimes this show committed, its score was not the hill I was ready to die on. Mediocre, sure, but still some fun and tuneful Stephen Schwartz songs to pass the time.
I am excited to listen to the thrift shop number (Show ‘Em You’re The Queen ….I think) and Little Houses, which I thought captured the spirit of the show really nicely.
I’ve had the February date in my calendar since the show closed, and then the April date, and now May I suppose. I’ll be really disappointed if this never hits the airwaves considering it already seems to have been recorded.

Will they have Kristin perform at the Tonys when the show is nominated for Best Musical and Best Actress?

I would guess the intention is kind of future-proofing the album cover with an eye towards this being a show of interest in licensed productions separated from Kristen Chenoweth's presence?
Good luck...I saw it with Sherie who was brilliant and it was still absolutely painful, tone-deaf, simplistic, idiotic, naive, irresponsible, smug...

OMG. Seeing the new cover art on Amazon.
Where are you getting the Friday release date?

Apparently there was a listening party and a cast member posted on Instagram about Friday.

Much simpler answer. They didn’t want to/couldn’t pay to license the photo.

Is there a link to pre-save on Apple or Spotify? I'm only finding it on Amazon Music which I don't use

The show was not great, there’s no arguing that. However, I am grateful I was able to see it and that the music is now available. There are definitely some standout songs and performances!

I was hoping to like this score on second listen. The music is very listenable but the lyrics are often very terrible! I’m especially shocked at the lyrics for Pretty Wins, which everyone seemed to point to as the highlight of the score.
