I can’t wait to how this production differs from London."
I didn’t see it in London, but I’m excited to hear what the differences are. As of now we know, “Another Hundred People” has been updated to reflect the experience of finding love ondating apps, and Chris Harper said there is a new and raw moment at the end of act one, something tells me it couldinvolve the new title letters.
I can’t believe the first previewis only one week away!"
I read the EW content that mentioned the change to Another Hundred People, and then went and listened to that song with the framing of online dating, and WHOA. I always quite liked that song, I particularly enjoyed during Seth Rudetsky's deconstruction he mentioned that 'will you pick me up, do I meet you there, shall we let it go' was a very NYC way of both making and breaking plans within a single sentence. But this new framing lights it up in a totally new way. The whole chorus sounds like the struggles of dating nowadays:
"And they meet at parties through the friends of friends who they never know"
- one degree of separation dating
"Will you pick me up? Do I meet you there? Shall we let it go?"
- making plans with anyone, ever
"Did you get my message, 'cause I looked in vain?"
- meeting up with a blind date
"Can we see each other Tuesday if it doesn't rain?"
- weather is a great deterrent for a date
"Look I'll message in the morning or I'll call you and explain"
- sorry to bail
"And another hundred people just got off of the train"
- grass is always greener, so on to another person
