Wait, since when? Did we know this? I knew about Prayer. I LOVE "House is Not a Home" but how many Bacharach classics are they going to add to give Chenoweth more material??

Let us know how it is! Got my tickets! There was not many left for April.

I love that song too. Adding these songs will either make Chenoweth more likable in the role or make it seem inappropriately like a Chenoweth concert. Let us know what you think.

Dionne Warwick can do the tour.

Just as long as it doesn't replace "Whoever You Are (I Love You)", I'd be fine with it.

I think a ballad for Fran before "Turkey Lurkey Time" could work - but then it'd be right on the heels of Wanting Things, which could slow things down. Maybe between "Christmas Day" and "A Young Pretty Girl Like You".

I bet "Say a Little Prayer" will happen either right after "Half as Big As Life" or right after "She Likes Basketball".

The added duet for the Secretary and Fran goes in the scene before Turkey Lurkey - do we know if that's in this revival?

I agree that "Prayer" seems like it would work best close to the beginning, probably after "Half As Big As Life", before too much plot gets going.

I also agree that "House Is Not A Home" would seem to fit nicely late in the second act, and that I really hope it's not replacing "Whoever You Are". I can't imagine they would, especially as the overture begins with it and I'd hate for them to change that.

I'm still curious. I can't imagine I'll like it better than the Encores version, which was pretty close to perfect, at least in my memory.

Why don't they just go ahead and add "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", "(They Long To Be) Close To You", "What's New Pussycat", "The Look of Love" and "Are You There With Another Girl" while they're at it.

I have always loved "A House is not a Home" too, but isn't the lyric more appropriate for Chuck's character?

I love WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT?

Actually, "Are You There with Another Girl?", would work very well for Fran.
