Octet OCR Kickstarter!

[haterobics]

Dave Malloy started a Kickstarter to raise the $30K they need to record the cast recording...

For $25, you get a digital download! More goodies if you pony up...

Done!

They would've got a whole lot more only they won't ship outside the US, so they shot themselves in the foot on that one x

Contributed! Loved this show, can't wait to hear it again.

I thought this was doing relatively well at the Signature. I know the show itself probably isn’t commercial enough for Broadway, but I’m surprised a producer wouldn’t step in to fund this to get a cut of Malloy’s licensing fees.

It extended twice and has been consistently sold out. I imagine they could extend again but they said the extension to June 30 was the last one

It doesn't work that way.

After 3 hours, they are 1/3 of the way there! Moreover, this is during the school/work day so all of the young Malloy stans haven’t even seen this yet! Is it likely that it will continue at this rate?

Because young people are very strict about not checking their phones until after school ends?

Backed. Can't wait! I've been thinking about the show since I saw it about a month ago.

Already at $20K in a few hours... I think we're getting a cast recording!

Yep, looks like it may happen tomorrow if things keep up. I’ve been listening to a so so audio boot of this, so I’ll be very happy to get a proper cast recording 

[Impossible2]

Maybe they'll get enough to film it as well?

*fingers crossed

[Impossible2]

Done and dusted already!

Glad to know they reached the 30k in the US. So I am assuming both feet are hole free. :)
