Here is a link to the program for the show: http://www.goodspeed.org/My%20Files/Programs/Holiday_Inn_program.pdf About half way through is scene/song info.
I hardly think the Mormon Tabernacle choir can be considered a "controversial organization"...haha. Anyway, I watched the first 14 minutes and didn't think it was uncomfortable at all. Actually an inspiring tribute to the Mormon Pioneers with some gorgeous music. The Mormons have a fascinating history, despite what people only know of them from the musical or modern media.
How has nobody mentioned the part in Act II when the set change happened at the wrong time, leaving Marin Mazzie and others to pretend that no one could see them and Karen Ziemba running frantically off stage right?
I got there at 1:10 today. It seems that seating was random. The couple in front of me were sent to the balcony. My friend and I were sent to the orchestra. We had great seats in the last row on the center right aisle. Loved seeing the show again.
Just we're all clear: give Stephanie some slack. She actually called out of both shows on Wednesday due to illness. As of last night she still wasn't feeling 100%, but was able enough to perform her normal role. Then she got word at 7:40 that she was going on for the leading player with little to no understudy rehearsal. Given the facts, I think she did a pretty good job. How many of you would have the courage/talent/chops to go on for a tony nominated role you've barely rehearsed with 20 min...
