Theatre is not just some petty extracurricular activity I do in my spare time. It is my life, it is my passion, it is who I am. Nothing and no one can change that or take it away from me. All the world is MY stage.

$19.99 for digital?!?

I guess that's how they plan to pay for that second disc.

That's right! Underscore mother-fu@#ers!

Starting listening a few minutes ago and up to Ceylon/British Subject...I really like it! Thought There You are Sounded a little thin but it's gotten much better with every song. I need to get back to this show.

I've heard disc 1 so far. Moonfall and the Moonfall Quartet have never sounded better.

There You Are does sound a bit thin, I agree.

Chita rocks Wages of Sin.

The rest of it sounds very good.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of it this evening.

I'm reminded of what a perfect finale The Writing On The Wall is.

One of the best, imo.

And it sounds utterly fantastic on this recording.

Got mine yesterday special ordered from FYE. They price matched the B & N pre-order, plus I had a 20% coupon. Total was $10.83 with tax. My complaint is with the quality control of the manufacturer. FYE always orders me two, in the advent one is damaged (per my OCD). One cd, the case was cracked and the cover ripped. The other, the front cover's ends (folds) were frayed. That was the one I had to keep. I can understand cracks in cases. It happens. I don't buy them. But to send out a cd to a distributor (FYE) with a ripped front cover is unacceptable. I know most don't care of this, but when it comes to my cds and dvds, it wrecks my OCD.

DRG Records has included a PDF document of the lyrics since they are not included in the booklet (the booklet mentions lyrics are available online; they weren't and I emailed asking)

Also, during editing to include the document (I assume) the price messed up...

Why do you think they changed the final note of Bazzard's Never the Luck in the revival version? It really sounds odd... too sharp. The OBC has the character singing a much higher note.
