Changes/Cuts in 2011 ANYTHING GOES in anticipation of new recording

I was wondering what changes or cuts or additions have been made to the ANYTHING GOES score for the 2011 revival, in comparison to the 1987 Lincoln Center LuPone-McGillin production.

Is "You're the Top" as long as the 1987 version, or have they cut verses out of it, does anyone know?

Has "No Cure Like Travel" changed in any way at all?

Is there an Overture (or "Prelude" as it was called in the '87 production) newly arranged for this revival?

How many tracks will they record do you think for the 2011 cast album?

So exciting!

I saw the show back in April, so I may not be remembering everything but . . .

1. I'm pretty sure the overture is the same that the National Theatre used in 2003.

2. The opening to No Cure Like Travel (the sailor and girl) is cut.

3. You're the Top has an extra verse or two as an encore.

4. Hope sings a little bit more of Easy to Love.

5. The verse has been added to Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye.

6. The finale is now It's De-lovely (the "galloping down the aisle" verse) instead of I Get A Kick Out of You.
