I ordered these off of the New Jersy NJN website about two to three months ago. I was wondering if anyone got theres yet, and if I am the only one still waiting for them! THANKS! I know there are a few threads similar to this, but I wanted to add another one! Sorry!
I also ordered from NJN, but I ordered the DVD and CD separately.
The DVD was shipped, but looks like the CD still hasn't been released, which is why you haven't got anything yet!

All I wanted was to go to Amazon for them. I guess it will not happen.

Got mine today as well! Only songs I'd say missing are: "The Way It Ought to Be (Reprise)" for Madame DeFarge (It was very short!) and the end of the verse to the Prologue for Lucie's character (not that it was necessary, just nice!)! Great recording!!
The recording is outstanding. Everyone involved should be applauded. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Except, to have gotten it sooner, but it was well worth the wait. It's obviously been put together with great care and that's all that one can ask for.
Just wanted to confirm...
As of right now, the only way to get the CD is to donate $60 to NJN and the only way to get the DVD is to donate $100? So, I need to drop $160 in order to purchase these two items?
Thanks in advance.
Oops...also missing "I Always Knew," Charles' baby (& only) solo!
Yes -- there are some other PBS places, but they are the only place to get this fantastic recording! It's well worth it though!
The music book is available on amazon. Maybe eventually the cd/dvd will be too.
The CD and DVD are available from Dress Circle in the UK - a tad expensive, but I'm not sure how wide a release they'll be getting...

It's also missing Argument, the tiny duet between Charles and the Marquis.
It's also missing "Dover", Madame DeFarge's reprise of "The Way it Ought to Be", "I Always Knew" and a reprise of "No Honest Way", but those are minor things. What it does have is wonderful. Although "Let Her Be a Child" is back to being a solo on the CD, but it's a duet on the DVD. What was it on Broadway? I can't keep up with that song anymore.

According to Wikipedia, it was a duet in previews but eventually, they changed it to a solo.
It was a duet until the end of August, then switched back. Honestly, it makes a lot of sense for it to be a duet, but I suppose the song means more for Sydney then Charles!
I really like it as a duet. Simon Thomas has tears in his eyes on the DVD which makes it all the more heart-wrenching. The solo on the CD is nice too, but I miss the tears. I wonder which version Samuel French will license?
