I got mine at about 2:30 today its great! I live in NJ so there is hope for those outside NY. Robos I ordered multiple cds but they came in a white usps cardboard envelope with a white square cardboard box inside with the cds.

"Somebody wanna send it to me?"

Ditto for me too. lol.

If I am not able to get it from somebody here, I was wondering if it will be in specific stores. Since I live in Texas, stores don't sell that many OBCRs unless they were seen on TV or other media (Legally Blonde, Grease, etc.) but we do have Wicked, Mamma Mia! and Phantom. Just 'cause we aren't in or around NY doesn't mean we don't ever listen to it. I wish we had a larger variety. ::sigh::

Darn, mine didn't come today either. Was SO looking forward to hearing it. Hopefully tomorrow? *fingers crossed*

Jacobsnchz...I live in Texas and I get my OBCRs from Barnes & Noble. The Barnes & Noble here have a large selection. I've purchased many...almost all of my OBCRs from there. I've found common ones like Wicked, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, The Lion King, 42nd Street, Oklahoma, and Phantom there and not so common ones like Mack & Mabel, Merilly We Roll Along, Zanna Don't!, Bat Boy, Songs For A New World, and Parade. I'm positive they'll have Xanadu come February.

The only Barnes and Noble nearby is in Downtown Fort Worth and it is the bookstore-coffee shop B&N store. I called a while back to see if they had the Legally Blonde OBCR and they said that the only B&N where they sell music is farther away.

Love your avatar by the way. lol

Thanks! Jaystarr made my avatar for me :)

I live in Denton and I purchase my OBCRs from the Barnes & Noble in Denton, including Legally Blonde. Where do you live...?

I live in Texas and ordered the CD yesterday and got the email today saying it had been shipped. Amazon is usually cheapest so I usually just order online. Of course, PS Classics always tempts me into ordering it directly from them by releasing it a month earlier than what it's available in stores. It's worth it usually.

I live in Fort Worth.

Me too

But I think mine will come tommorow.. I can almost sense the package

So who else got their CD today ? We need to get this party started !!!

I ordered my CD today! I know I am a little late in the game of pre-ordering, but oh well. Who knows how long it'll take, but I'm excited!

Yay I got mine from the Helen Hayes Theatre today, and am listening to it right now. I've been waiting for this day since May!

Is it possible to run into the theatre and buy it if you're not attending the show? Does anyone know?

[divarobbie2]

Posted: 12/11/07 at 9:20pm

I personally shipped all the ones ordered from PS Classics yesterday, so they'll be there soon!

A friend of mine sent it to me and...it's a rather imperfect little gem. I'm SO glad it even exists, since I saw the very first preview of the show back in May, and was SO intrigued by it, and really wanted it to be recorded (And count me as the only one who STILL misses James Carpinello, yes, even vocally). But there are a few flaws, I think. The instrumentation and production values sound a bit cheap to my ear, and some of the harmonies seem unbalanced to me. I much prefer the live sound of the show, and there just seems like there's something off about the whole recording to me. But, I'm thankful to have it nonetheless.

I got the CD at the theater tonight, got there at about 5:40. I picked up my ticket from the BO and took a little walk. Came back just in time to see Kerry Butler arrive at the theater. Talked to her for a few seconds, then made some calls. Went in bought my CD and these new little gloves that they have now. The type of gloves that are missing the fingers so you can still use them, I needed these for work and LOVE them. They have the skate logo on one of the gloves. They are $15 the CD is $20. The show was fantastic. This was only my second time seeing it. I saw it first from onstage with James C. In early previews. Was in BB105 tonight. Second row PERFECT seat 100% full view. JUST LOVED IT ALL! Kerry Butler is a joy to watch and hear. The entire cast is so spot on. This show really makes me want to work that much harder to succeed in this business. Thanks guys. Look forward to hearing the cd soon.

Is the CD only available at the theatre at the moment?? Im arriving in NY 2mrw and need to get a few CDs of different shows and this is one of them. Thanks.

Yes, the only place it is being sold where you can purchase it in person is the Helen Hayes theater. Otherwise, you can order it from amazon.com or psclassics.com. But since you'll be in the city tomorrow then you don't have to wait long.

[TheBoyDownstairs]

Yes, the cast album is only at the theatre or the PS Classics website (it is available everywhere Jan 8_)

I've listened to it twice already, and I love it. My only complaint would be that its only 43 minutes long, so they could have included a lot more dialogue. The only real dialogue is in "I'm Alive", "Evil Woman", "Fool", and a tiny bit at the start of "Have You Never Been Mellow?"

I went to the show today, and I got my cd. I was so excited, and it sounds great, but I think certain songs just are not as strong as they are in person, but that is how it always is. But it is awesome, and the show was great too.

*Stares at empty mailbox* Sadly, mine didn't come today either but I'm sure it'll be here tomorrow. Thanks Divarobbie :)

I dk why some of you are asking us to send it you when PS Classics ships the next day. Just click away - lol ...
