No physical (vinyl or CD) release means instead of me happily giving them my money, we’ll just rip it free from illegal streaming sources. Wake up, labels.
I would understand no CD for a horror movie, but this is a musical with music written by the composers who wrote “La La Land,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” and “The Greatest Showman.” Not putting out a CD seems like such a missed opportunity!
