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

LMAO. Fair.

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).

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?

Apparently the digital release is this Friday and there’s new cover art…?

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...

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

Digital release is tomorrow, and at the moment the physical release is slated for May 29.

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

I don’t think so

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.
