yes it is illegal to cut/extract/alter/add/modify in anyway the show compared to the original script.
More of a side comment, but it would seem that small modifications to the orchestra music for scene changes and so forth must happen frequently. I would assume those are also technically not allowed, jut probably not noticed as frequently.

All Good Things Must End.... -- The Little Mermaid
May 27
2008, 11:36:07 PM
Why did they take this song out? I thought it was one of the best new pieces in the little mermaid demo...
I wonder if they thought it was too similar to I Want the Good Times Back? Or that it was lyrically too contradictory to that piece?
Too bad they couldn't have found a way to either work it into the show, or short of that, release Sherri Renee Scott singing it... I would love to hear her take on the piece!

SISTER ACT- WEST END
Mar 25
2008, 12:09:06 AM
I am a huge alan menken fan, but I am just confused as to why he was brought onto this project given the fact Shaiman is a huge broadway name in his own right, and he actually did all the arrangements for the sister act film.
I haven't seen the show, I"m just leery of it coming to broadway without any of the songs people have learned to love and associate with the film. The "popified" church hymns and tunes were so much of the magic of that film, and it just seems strange thinking this

I think this piece should be reworked and made slightly more intimate and have Menken & Rice turn it into the "oratorio" they really saw it as. For a variety of reasons the piece could not lend itself to being performed again in a broadway house. A 46 person chorus? A 54 piece orchestra? Who would dare to hope they would ever recoup that investment?
This is the type of thing that could be staged for a few nights only, preferably in a non-for-profit venue, or a "mega church" or somet

I was there last night as it was across the street from my college, and he was great! Such a class act, a through and through performer. So much of everything -- standards, broadway, etc. So happy to have seen him at McCarter, just wish I would have had cash on me (only had the Credit Card) so I could have picked up one of his signed CDs.

I know a lot of people love the score to Secret Garden -- I for one think it is one of the most boring excuses for a Musical Score.
Boublil & Schornberg would have been better probably, I agree.
But why not whoever wrote Grey Gardens? Or even Guettel?

re: Are musicals expensive for you?

To me, over $100 for a broadway show is a bit absurd, but I do understand why it is that expensive.
Let's face it, live entertainment is a huge comodity these days and it is a huge liability and expense for investors. My only question is why these shows have to spend so much money on spectacle to be good.
