I check amazon and iTunes regularly for this - since seeing the show in March, I've been dying for this to come to full fruition!  Here's hoping...

It was definitely recorded, I can't imagine a recording with Jake would get shelved.

Every day I'm waiting for news and nothing has been said. Makes me sad.

It's almost mid-June and you would've thought we'd get a release date by now especially if it had a potential release this month. At this rate I'm thinking July or August.

It was certainly recorded.

Let's promise each other one thing: nobody posts in this thread until there is news of a release date. Every time someone posts, I get so excited haha

Well, so much for June.  July, maybe?

[ljay889]

Posted: 6/25/17 at 12:32pm

I was hoping we'd follow n2nbaby's post, lol.

I would stop posting if only there was some specific news about the release of this recording, which was made on April 25 and promised for "this summer." WHERE IS IT???

[jacobsnchz14]

Posted: 8/18/17 at 10:24am

I'm on Amazon enough anyway, I always make time to check and see if there's a link to pre-order.  Nothing.

Rumor is they're releasing it right before the Grammy nominations cut-off.

[jacobsnchz14]

Posted: 8/18/17 at 12:02pm

Well, September 30 is the cut-off for this next year and with a release potentially close to that, you'd think we could pre-order it by now. But could be any day now, but that's what I've been thinking all summer.

Anxiously awaiting an update here...

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/18/17 at 12:15pm

Me too. The wait is getting rather depressing.

[LesWickedly]

Posted: 8/18/17 at 12:21pm

Love the title change, ljay. But yes, I'm so ready for this album, please hurry up.

[10086Sundays]

I hope the person who posted saying that we'd get it in September was legit. I've lost the excitement level and almost forgot about it until now.

So odd that they accounted it for June and nothing by mid-August -- maybe to build anticipation...? So weird.

[TaylorF221]

Posted: 8/18/17 at 12:38pm

10086Sundays - I am legit. And I love how "rumor" is they're releasing it before Grammy cutoff when I was the one who told ya'll that!

Anyway the album is on track and is being finalized now. 

I promise you this album is well worth the wait. It sounds beautiful.

I think we can safely assume Dear Evan Hansen will win the Grammy at this point. The only other scenario I see this not happening is Comet being nominated and Josh Groban really wanting to be able to finally put an award on his mantel causing him to actively campaign for it.

In the past several years unless the musical is a cultural zeitgeist, an album with star power/connections to the commercial music industry will usually will win over a show an artistic (Better) score.

Examples include:

2017: The Color Purple- The fact that this was the only album with are 3 "principle soloists" including  Cynthia Erivo, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Hudson, while only Carmen Cusack was the only principal soloist for Bright Star, Danny Burstein for Fiddler on the Roof, and Jessie Mueller for Waitress. Although this production of The Color Purple sold tickets on the trio, the show itself is almost carried mostly on Celie (Errivos) back. Add to that that Kinky Boots's West End Cast recording was nominated. 

2015: Beautiful winning over Hedwig with The Bridges of Madison County, and If/ Then not even being nominated.
2014: Kinky Boots  winning- with only Motown and Matilda being nominated excluding even nominations for Cinderella, Pippin, Hands on a Hardbody
