Curious if they'll be using the tweaks Laurents made for the 2004 production of Hallelujah Baby! 

I'm so deeply intrigued by this show (largely because there's such scarce online literature regarding the original production). I've listened to the OBCR a handful of times but the score does little to explain the plot. For those who have seen it, what exactly is the point of having the characters' ages frozen in time?

Very little significant changes from Boston happened in the months before Broadway.

Saw last night's performance. I want to write something more in-depth later, but I must say that I was blown away by this show. I think Schwartz's score is exciting, the book incredibly pointed and scathing, and Michael Arden's direction and the performance he got out of Cheno to be a revelation.

I've always thought a nice chunk of Robert Altman's filmography would translate well to stage. I'd lov

Her voice is also much better suited for the Ethel Merman roles, more so than Patti. And she has real life experience with Gypsy as her mother was a stage mom shoving her and Hunter on the stage.
