That's for the DVD, correct?
I preordered my GT BD from WBShop.com a while ago when they had a buy-2-get-1-free deal (combined w/ their typical 20% off discount and free shipping). I think the net cost ended up being ~$15 (plus tax) for me.

This version stars Josh Groban and IIdina Menzel with the London Symphony Orchestra.

The concert video will be broadcast on PBS stations on June 20th, at least on the Nashville, TN affiliate--check local listings for your area.
I can't wait! One of my favorite musicals. I hope they do the London "concept album" versions of the songs. I never liked the changes made to some of the musical arrangements and a few lines of lyrics when they mounted a production of it later on Broadway.
Oh, and not to nitpick, but the concert will feature the City of London Philharmonic Orchestra, not the LSO as mentioned above...

I ordered the DVD from Amazon today ($14.99). None at BB or Target and it was $19.99 at Barnes and Noble.
I did pick up the full 2 disc CD at Target ($16.99) over the highlights version. ($11.99)
I am only familiar with the original recording (Murray Head, etc.), but this is from the liner notes that Tim Rice did for the CD: "I have returned to the original album as the basis of what I hope will be the definitive version...Some songs and scenes that were added for the London...and Broadway stagings have been retained..."
There are about ten songs that I am unfamiliar with, but can't wait to hear them all!
One of my favorite albums...

Just discovered on a thread in the Music folder: Nightwish "End of an Era" came out on Blu this week. $17.99 from Amazon. Dunno about B&M availability.

I caught bits of two different PBS broadcasts on Wednesday evening (Time-Warner in Racine carries all the Chicago and Milwaukee broadcast stations because we're smack dab in the middle of both cities) and my DVD arrived yesterday. Can't wait to watch the whole show.

Hi Keith! Just got my e-mail and saw your "post about the post". I don't want to hijack this thread, so if you want I can e-mail you anything you need to know. Just one thing...make sure you hire a structural engineer for a job like this!
