I believe it is the whole show

I actually got my shipping confirmation today but the tracking code they provided says there's no information available. I hope it was an error in the code and the package is on the way. It seems as though most people have gotten them by now.

I got the message this afternoon about 1:00. I just checked it now.

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure they gave me someone elses code as it showed "my package" going from LA to Memphis and then to a city that's not mine, but I still got one. You'll still get yours.

Mine says it's in my state....not my town but my state...but that it's not being delivered till the 20th? What's up with that?

Yeah, mine arrived in my hometown at my local shipping facility at 9:00 this morning. But it's not going to be delivered until Tuesday, according to FedEx.

I don't understand.

I have yet to get even a shipping confirmation email. Frustrating.


Would anyone be willing to send me the original sampler? I'm desperate!

I've yet to recieve ANYTHING. I ordered it on the 30th.
I sent a nice email simply asking what the status is on my cd to barethealbum@gmail.com on the 14th and have not recieved an email back yet. Is there another email I should try, or should I sent another email the that address?

I would really like to hear something back because $30 to a college student is alot and I would like to get my cd.

I just received with confirmation!! I'm so excited..it's not even funny. I bought mine on the 30th about 30 minutes after they went on sale and I didn't send them an e-mail or anything about seeing the status so I think they are starting to send them all out.

Kaycee, what changes to the story were made?!

I totally agree with disliking Stephanie Anderson, but I LOVE Keili Lefkowitz!

Okay, I received my package today and here are my initial reactions:

1. All the tempos seems SO SLOW. On the DVD, someone said that they didn't want the audience to ever miss a lyric... but really, you can speed it up a little. It's especially detrimental in the high energy numbers, such as "Birthday Bitch" and "911! Emergency!"

2. Almost everyone's acting is poor. Perhaps it's, again, because of the tempos... but everyone seemed off. I especially had a problem with Christopher Johnson as Matt; his voice is fine, but he comes across as extremely feminine... and that's not how I see Matt at all. Additionally, there isn't any passion or emotion coming across in the vocals, except occassionally for James Snyder (especially in "Ever After") and Keili Lefkovitz (brilliant in "A Quiet Night at Home").

3. Which brings me to the next thing: the songs sound overproduced. Like all the voices have been messed with and the music is synthesized.

4. I was absolutely blown away by the beginning of the CD. The vocals in the prayer at the very start of "Epiphany" had me nearly in tears... unfortunately not much else reaches that point.

5. Most of the lyric changes don't bother me, though some seem unnecessary. Why "Look into these big blue eyes and you'll understand" instead of "Feel the beat of my racing heart and you'll understand?"

6. I love the new rap in "Wonderland."

7. The DVD is slightly boring. The only thing I was really interested in seeing was how the writers/producers/everyone felt about the New York production, but it took up less than 5 minutes of the entire documentary. It's mostly just praise of the cast and crew of the LA production. Still some interesting stuff though.

8. I haven't really been paying attention to Act Two, so I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Hopefully the entire thing will grow on me.

9. Yes, the packaging is strange and a bit off-putting at first. But it's beautifully put together, with the wonderful art found on the website and a 40-page booklet.
