Ghostlight Records officially announced March 12 that it will release the original Broadway cast album of the new musical IN THE HEIGHTS June 3.

Posted: 3/12/08 at 3:07pmWhy is it 2 discs? I don't understand the reasoning behind it, unless they have something special planned. They could easily fit 23 tracks on a single disc, right?

Posted: 3/12/08 at 3:41pmYeah, I'm puzzled about the 2-disk format too. I haven't seen in on Broadway, but I did see it last Summer. Sounds like there's going to be some padding here. What do I know?

Posted: 3/12/08 at 4:27pmIs it sung-through? or is the music easily mixed with the dialogue?

Posted: 3/12/08 at 5:35pmI believe it is going to be a two-disc album because the show has a lot more than 90 minutes of music. They really don't want to cut anything out because the music is one of the best things about the show!

"when i saw the show (a few days before opening) Siempre wasn't in there, and No Me Diga (reprise) was a reprise of Piragua"
Siempre is the song that Camila sings along with in the dinner scene. The one that skips... coming back to you at all?
No Me Diga (reprise) was when Carla, Vanessa, and Daniela were closing up their salon for the last time. "I think that's all of the boxes. Tell me something I don't know..."
The reprise of Piragua is in the show as well as No Me Diga (Reprise). Piragua (Reprise) the song after the No Me Diga (Reprise.

Posted: 3/12/08 at 6:07pm"Hear Me Out" was cut after the show moved to broadway. I miss it, but I understand why they had to cut it.

InThePark - I had actually preordered my Legally Blonde cd from the website and I got mine the day it was released - and I'm in CANADA! :) (And I'm pretty sure they had already been selling at the theatre.)
