- Loved the DVD behind the scenes look
I have the original CD, but wanted the DVD that came with this issue. Not disappointed! Worth it for LK lovers.

Rating:

- Description a little misleading
I know this says "CD", but there is a DVD included as well. I thought the DVD would include actual footage from the play, but it doesn't. The DVD includes only backstage footage. It is a little frustrated having the music from the play, with no video to accompany. I think Disney would do better and lead to less frustration to leave the DVD out of the package.
