I saw this first preview and really didn't like it. Stiles phones it in. It lacks the electricity necessary for this play.

Well said, West Village.

I was hoping the list on IBDB was wrong. One of my favorite numbers was cut, and I'm very disappointed. This happened with 13, too. The final version of the LA production was pretty great, and then they "fixed" it, and it tanked in NY.

Can someone post a song list? I want to see what was cut/altered from when it was in LA.

LOVE it.

That was stunning. Thanks so much.

"Isn't it the same director or something?" Yes, Joe Mantello.

"Once Lithgow left in Jan of 06, it never recovered." Which is a shame, as Pryce was INFINITELY better than Lithgow.

Obviously this isn't the case for Megan or the producers wouldn't have allowed it. I'm sure they knew about it, and I'm sure she had it okayed in advance.

Oh, if only!

These are fantastic, Brody. Thank you so much for sharing.

The piece is anything but "lame," but KJisgroovy was right that it isn't a musical by any means. The music lacks anything resembling a melody, and the accompaniment is very bizarre in places. It isn't my favorite piece of Adams', but if you're in the mood for a more classical piece, I'd give it a listen. It's interesting to hear Audra sing a role written for a Latina at the very least.

On the recording it is sung: People like us, We get through the day..." I just looked at the score, and the lyric is printed as "People like us: / We get thru the day." Perhaps the lyric was printed incorrectly in the CD booklet.

I saw the show at UCLA last fall, and it was spectacular. Don't miss it.

Any news on how he's doing today?

I agree with BigFatBlonde. I saw the show closing weekend and it was dreadful, except the final two scenes. I hope a LOT changes before Broadway.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that! Thanks, Byron. That's really interesting.

"Regarding the score, the print I saw still had the Philip Glass score...which sounded like a Philip Glass score." I love Philip Glass, and have recently noticed that a lot of composers have been mimicking (either intentionally or unintentionally) his sound. I think Glass could write a phenomenal score for Doubt, much like his music for Notes on a Scandal, but if Howard Shore is, indeed, writing it, I think he'll do well, too. And, in regards to Meryl playing the role like Cherry - we have al...
