this is just so sad...

My friend who saw Spring Awakening the past week said she mentioned something to Matt Doyle at the stagedoor. I guess he said he hadn't really heard anything about any issues with shipping and that was the end of that conversation.
I find it hard to believe that Matt said that they take our money. I find what mattfan says is not true.
I will laugh if we get a confirmation e-mail saying that your item has shipped and should be there in 2 weeks. LOL!
Thanks to the person who deleted Mattfan comment!

I'm not sure i would laugh at that. But I'm pretty sure at this point they are seriously running out of time. They need to get their butts in gear.

Listen mattfan, you are wrong and obviously have some sort of vendetta. Get over it. Has this been handled in a less than professional way, yes. Are people frustrated, yes. But Damon always made it clear that it was a "mom and pop" operation and has apologized. They sold out of the first pressing and have another 10,000 copies on the way. Do you have any idea how many copies that is for a theatrical recording. I do and it's a lot! Calm down, those that want the CD will get it and you mattfan, need to comment on what you know and stay out of what you don't

... and to learn to type at least a semi-coherant post.
I received two messages from this Mattfan saying bare is stealing...ask them to take Matt Doyle off the recording...blah. I blocked them but I surrender. I'm either going to get this CD or not. Broadway is going on strike. This day is a disaster.

Wow...it's quite obvious to see that mattfan is the person who has been harassing all the spring awakening cast members. Anyone else think so? He has a huge grudge against Doyle, has sent him very threating messages, and has branched out to other cast members. Matt barely even stagedoors anymore because of the harassment.
I think you might be right. I remember reading an announcement about that now. Wow, he's just a kid. Just, wow.

I just got this message from mattfan. I have now blocked him but I think everyones thoughts are correct.
"Matt is my hobby
he is cruel and mean 2 me
and he shouldn't be a part of bare
as long as he is
i hate them"
I'm not connected to Spring Awakening but I think all signs point to this guy being trouble.
I love the conclusions some of you have stumbled upon (in terms of why you haven't received your items); half of them are worthy of laughing out loud. A lof of the reasoning has turned into personal attacks towards the company and actors. Don't bother contacting the actors, they have nothing to do with the shipping!! A certain someone shouldn't critique others business titles and grammar, when they certainly don't possess the proper technique themselves.

Just got this from "mattfan" or whoever....
"tell them they should get matt doyle out of the recording or u want ur money back"
Horrid english, but I digress. Take Matt out of the recording? Does he have ANY idea how ludicrous this sounds? Its not like a show you can just replace an actor with. That said, Matt's great on the album.
This mattfan wreaks of an immature child.

Yeah, no kidding. Hell, if I never did get the CD, I've gotten my $29 worth of entertainment just reading all these messages...
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/27/07
Haha, Scott, maybe not quite $29 worth yet, but at the rate they're going, I'm sure we've got some time!

Oh god somebody please find that poor child a good therapist. I feel so bad for actors who get creepy (see: crazy) stalkers and who are really helpless to do anything. It ruins the fun of stagedooring for the rest of us.
I am so over this! Thanks guys for your comments and information. I will simply wait for the CD when it arrives.
BARE OUT!

This guy is more than a poor child. Police are involved in the situation.

I just find it interesting that not everyone has received the email from Damon regarding the delay nor has the website posted the letter. You'd think they would at least try to smooth things over with their paying customers. I had sent two inquiry emails regarding my email and you'd think at least one of them would have been answered.

I think we all agree this situation is rediculous and there is obviously nothing that can be done. If I haven't recieved my email by Monday (day 10) I will be calling my credit card company and asking for the charge to be invalidated and for them to investigate. I suggest anyone else who is concerned with being ripped off do the same.
The day that BARE came out, I bought the CD and entered the wrong address. I immediately emailed "Mr. Bare Album" and he promptly responded and said he'd check into it. Later that day, he emailed me again and said he changed it to the corrected address.
That being said, he could have been uncooperative and refused to change the address and considering he just received over 1,000 orders, going out of his way to change 1 address...
All I'm saying is, I don't think this is a scam and that they ARE trying in some capacity. Take what you will from my small positive experience with this? If it were a scam, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to help me out on that very hectic and infamous day of October 30th.
I had the same experience. I noticed paypal had my old address when I received the payment confirmation. I emailed bare and they advised them of the address change. I did not received a response from them though.

I think you'd want to go to PayPal and file a claim there too. I'm not sure if you're credit card company would do it.
Good luck!
I had the same thing happen. When I ordered it from Paypal, it came up as my old address so I had to e-mail them and I got a response back within 20 minutes saying that it was changed.
