The music was great but this bloated piece of crap did not deserve 13 Tony nominations. So many parts of this could have been edited to make a tighter script but as it stands, it is a massive mess. And before the usual attacks come, I am well aware that I am in the minority in thinking this.

This is an opinion based message board. While I understand that this show wasn't for you, perhaps a more in-depth review might resonate more than "bloated piece of crap" and "massive mess".

Act one is an hour and forty five minutes. Various boring conversations between the characters add nothing to narrative. The double conversations taking place at the same time is right out of playwriting writing 101. Nevertheles, this thing scored 13 Tony nominations, so I clearly know nothing. Whatever.

Anyway, this is the most excited I've been for a cast album release. Waiting for next Friday is so painful.

Much to my dismay, I didn’t catch this off-Broadway last fall even though I am a Will Butler fan. (It was in previews and the three-hour length made me hesitant to recommend to my partner.) I am certainly curious about the cast recording and wondering how this will work. I thought there was just one complete song in the play, with parts of others. Will this be a lot of music that wasn’t played in the show?

Yes. We only hear one full song and the majority of one or two others in the show. That's a big part of why I'm so excited for it.

I haven’t bought a physical Broadway cast recording in over a decade, but if they released this on vinyl I’d buy it no questions asked.
