Thank you for the advice, Brian, I certainly appreciate it. I have been to a few CD signings at this B&N before, and they have certainly accommodated a "stand-by" line, so to speak, for the actual signing portion of the events in the past. When I spoke to the employee on the phone, however, they seemed to indicate that only those with wristbands would be guaranteed to see the performance and get the CD signed, and the two-plus hour trip to 86th & Lexington is too much to undertake if I'm not sure I will have a chance/
I hope you enjoy the event, though, and please let us know all the details!

4:45pm I think there are less than a dozen people on the line ahead of me and no one behind me for the past 15 minutes.
4:49pm line coordinator said "we sold 60 CDs"

Overheard:
event worker to security: "the room holds 102 people."
patron to event staff: "I don't want to buy the cd. I just want to go in the room to hear the performance. I'm just going to wait on line to go in."
Event staff to security: "no wrist band, no admission to room."
Event staff coordinator to other staff: "three songs, click/click/click pictures then signing"
6:00pm Chita is rehearsing in the room. We can see her through the glass doors. John Riddle just arrived (wow he is tall! And handsome!!)
People are still arriving, asking about the event, being directed to purchase the cd and get on line
Probably 50 people on line at this point.
Announcement on store loud speaker inviting everyone in the store to come to the event.

Oops, sounds like I made a mistake in sitting this one out, as I could have been there by 4:30 and towards the front of the line... Oh well. Enjoy, Brian! Thanks for the updates so far!

6:08pm John Kander and Mary Beth Peil arrive. We started a round of applause.
overheard: "oh he's the lead in the show" response "no he is the creator" argument over who John Kander really is.

I am wondering why The Visit is not on Spotify?

Thanks for the play by play Brian!
Sounds like it ended up being more intimate than expected.

Robbie2, The Visit isn't on Spotify because it was released by Yellow Sound Label, and they don't put anything of theirs on Spotify

"I am wondering why The Visit is not on Spotify?"
It may go up on the tenth. I just checked and Something Rotten hasn't been put on yet either.

The three songs performed (in this order) were:
You, You, You
- Tom Nelis
- Chita Rivera
- John Riddle
- Michelle Veintimilla
I Must Have Been Something
- Tom Nelis
- John Riddle
Love and Love Alone
- Chita Rivera
Was fun to see Donna McKechnie show up! She was Chita's understudy and was in attendance - she participated in the group photo before the signing. I spoke to her as she passed and asked "Did you ever get to perform the role (Claire)?" She responded "no but one time was suited up just in case because Chita's throat was bothering her one night but never happened."
Donna sat at the very end of the signing table next to John Kander. She was thrilled that people were asking her to sign. She flipped the book over and signed the back.
Donna mentioned that she has a new CD coming out next month and will be doing a signing at Barnes and Noble.

Tazber... The room was full to capacity (so 102) and about a dozen were eager hopeful that they might be allowed in once those inside were finished. I didn't wait to see what happened. I was lucky to think to ask how they would conduct the signing and I sat in the first row of those getting the signatures (right behind two rows reserved for the performers/producers)
I spoke briefly to two producers after the signing. Thanked them for doing the signing and that I've been following the show for years having attended Signature/Williamstown/Broadway. They wanted to know which version I liked better, why, etc. and that's where I'm stopping because I've previously discussed this in a previous heated thread but they sympathetically and compassionately understood why and confirmed my issues/dislikes.

Brian, if you were seated all the way to the left of the room, then I was two seats to your right! It was truly a fantastic event.

I sat right behind Tom Nelis on the end! Was a real fun night. So glad this happened not only for us but also the cast. I imagine this is a fun recognition for them when the CD comes out and maybe a sad thought it might not happen once the show closed. Great that it happened and why I specifically thanked the producers when I passed them.

It doesn't seem to be out on Spotify in the UK.
I wish they'd be clear what channels it will be on, this is the most popular subscriber service, after all.
If they're doing a Taylor Swift, fine, say so, and I'll order the CD.

As of this moment Amazon says that the recording is temporarily out of stock.

That's because today is the physical release date but they haven't received their stock yet.
I have found that Yellowsound titles usually ship from amazon 3-5 days after the official release date.

What usually happens is that the pre-orders get shipped and then they have no stock left. It's pretty common with small order products.

Interesting. I pre-ordered from amazon weeks ago and mine says:
Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.
