Just got an email that my CD has shipped today! I wonder if the digital version will be available at midnight?
I cannot wait to hear this album! I've been patiently waiting for months. Let's use this thread to discuss the cast recording.

I thought it wouldn't be digitally available until the 19th? PLEASE let me know if I'm wrong as I need this in my life...like yesterday.

I'm not sure how Broadway Records digital album releases work. I'm pretty sure I downloaded The Visit digitally before the hard copy was released. But maybe that has changed?

Aren't they streaming the recording online today?

Same here. I am expecting a truly stunning recording. I love the stripped down orchestrations. Co-composer Allee Willis says that she prefers the new arrangements, she also basically says that the original Tunick orchestrations were not the sound that the writers had originally hoped for.

It's on their FB page.
It will start streaming in 20 minutes.

It says they will be live streaming from the release party and will be talking questions for the cast. Wonder if that means we will hear the full album?

I also heard it was the party, not the cast album. A little misleading.

Hopefully it is made available on Apple Music tonight!!!! or early tomorrow!!!

They wrote on Facebook that iTunes will get it on 2/19. This is why I pre-ordered the hard copy, in case the digital release would be delayed.

I wonder if we will see it on spotify. Broadway Records usually doesn't put their albums on Spotify, but one can hope.

This stream is not great. It's blurry and constantly pausing.

Is Broadway Records even releasing digital albums on their website anymore? They never released Allegiance. You can download it digitally elsewhere but not on their website like you can the others.

Allegiance is there on the bottom of the digital page.

Does anybody know if it is available at the theatre?

This is maybe a dumb question, but what time can you go pick up the album from the theatre? Do you need to wait until closer to showtime, or can the box office help with that at all?

Can you buy from the box office or does it need to be during a show, inside?

You would have to wait until the theatre is open. Your best bet is probably to swing in when the performance is letting out.

They sometimes have people walking up and down the lines for people waiting to get inside the theatre selling merchandise before performances.
