So, How is it? worth seeing? It's coming at the end of the month, and most likely I will see it, unless its dreadfully awful
Also, the George Bush lyric change, that WILL be in the tour as well, right?

Posted: 1/11/09 at 11:14pmHm, I don't know if the show is worth seeing if a single lyric, consisting of two words, isn't changed. I'd wait to find out, personally.

Posted: 1/11/09 at 11:52pmsaw it in nashville in october - it was good, there were minor changes from the broadway production (a few line cuts/orchestration changes here and there) but everything was broadway-calibre. definitely worth seeing.

I saw it all the way back in May.
Though the cast has changed (from what I know) it was def. worth seeing. Very good performances and a talented cast.

I saw it last month and thoroughly enjoyed it! I'd never seen the show before, but was aware that there we're some changes I knew from the cast recording and other info, but I agree that the cast is of B'way caliber, most of them came from the Chicago cast.
Isn't this the 1st national tour, that's usually always a good sign of a good show.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 1/12/09 at 8:17amThe minor changes from the cast recording have been implemented in the broadway production and the national tour. Both shows, from a musical and script perspective, are identical.

Posted: 1/12/09 at 8:20amI saw it way back in June (? or was it May?) in Chicago. HILARIOUS! I was crying I laughed so hard. I knew the OBCR backwards and forwards but had never seen the show and it was even better than I thought it would be. All the cast members were fantastic, I highly recommend it. I was actually thinking of making a trip to its nearest stop to Chitown sometime soon for a 2nd helping :)

Anika Larsen as Kate Monster is definitely worth seeing. I enjoyed her performance very, very much. Just saw her perform on Dec. 2nd.

Posted: 1/12/09 at 12:31pmI've seen the touring cast 5 times - Buffalo and Toronto. It is excellent, On December 7 I saw the Broadway cast and except for Carey Anderson (fantastic) it was not nearly as good as the tour. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the tour Updated On: 7/10/09 at 12:31 PM

So, I went on Saturday and it was REALLY good!
When I bought a program, the woman and I chatted for a few and she said she has seen the Broadway several times and since she's been with the tour, she said it's the best cast to date in her opinion and I thought it was really really good!
There were two downsides:
1) the space was WAY to large for Ave Q.... it echoed a lot, but it was still manageable
2) they used "your mother in law" during For Now.. out of the four, they had to use the worst one when I went lol
oh well, it was still enjoyable!
But, does anyone know if/when they will settle on a single phrase/word for "For Now"?

Posted: 2/2/09 at 5:52amI'm smacking myself for missing the tour in Boston. I probably won't get a chance to see this in NYC (at least anytime soon). Sucks that money is tight.

That is my review. There has been some changes. I saw it before the inauguration so no George Bush change.
Have Fun

Saw it last weekend in Upstate New York and it was excellent. A little low on energy in points, but the cast was excellent and I loved the Christmas Eve here. "Recession" was the "For Now" word of the day.
More importantly, of the seven of us who went, four had no idea what they were in for and they all loved it.

Posted: 2/2/09 at 10:32amYeah, there were a lot of people that had no idea what it was about when I went and I am glad! I kinda knew what was going to happen, but not everything, but the people that knew nothing had a great time!!! although, the people to my right knew everything about it and it was so annoying because they would laugh at things that weren't funny and they talked the whole time about what would happen next, but it was still tons of fun!!
