Phew, I was wondering if they added that song on Broadway and I just wasn't remembering because I saw it Off-Broadway first. I guess they took it out because showing is better than telling in this case.
jasonf, i agree with you... winning that lottery and seeing that show and stuff IS one of the best broadway experiences ever and i've seen a lot of shows too... we think alike lol...
and to answer your question, today at broadway on broadway, the cast performed the number Why We Like Spelling. and before they performed it, Lisa Howard and Jay Reiss said that it's on the CD but not in the show. I guess they made another cut once the OBCR was released. oh well.
it's a nice little song but it's true that it doesn't really fit.
Just curious...did Lisa and Jay perform in that song? I saw some photos of the event and I didn't see them in it. Just wondering if they performed or showed up to just announce the song.
Why We Like Spelling was in the show during the summer production at Barrington Stage Company. It was effective then when put into context. There was also a gorgeous ballad that Rhona sang to Logaine, William, and Marcy called I Can't Remember Anything at All which was replaced by Rhona's Favorite Moment of The Bee.
