Yeah. Probably more of a 'time for Alice (or whoever) to get changed' kind of thing to introduce us to Natalie's mental state even more as well as introduce Henry.

Yeah, im glad they added the "you give up way to easy" line in that scene. it really informs henry's later actions nicely.

Yeah. They've added in him coming back in and saying something like "You're very confusing..." as Natalie plays a little bit of what becomes the "My Psychopharmacologist..." intro (as opposed to him just leaving and Natalie doing the slide up the piano that led into "Costco"). It flows nicely.

now if only they'd do something about Perfect for You.

Maybe that's next on their list... I mean, since they're making changes. :P

Yeah, its just always been so awkward and heavy, its like wearing an oriental rug like a mink stole.

Yeah... It could be lightened a little...not made so...how it is. LOL.

I really wish they have the songs' title on the Playbill...Its really hard to figure out which is which.. there's a song in ACT 2- slow song- about Diana & Dan about leaving...what's the name of the song?- I like that song...

Jordy- That's why I love you... you keep me updated about the show.. btw- I thought about you today (when RyToast told me that he wont be able to make it.. he's not feeling well this morning...Hope he feels better today) I was thinking of giving the other tix, but you did told me on a prior pm that you were busy...that's why I did not call you...cuz I wanna see the show with an expert!

You mean the one near the end where Diana has the suitcase? That's called So Anyway

Just to reiterate what Jay said, it's so great to hear all about this show from you Jordangirl! I only wish I could see the show as often as you do and I think I am going to get a ticket for next weekend!!!

Yup. thanks liverpool.

How did you guys figure that out without a list of songs in the playbill? Does anyone know as to why they never put the list of songs in the playbill.. the show is nearing its run and still no list of songs.

Aw, thanks for thinking of my Jay! Yeah...I was scoring datafolios (the way our alternate assessment kids are assessed on state standards), and as much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE N2N, the almost $35/hour for datafolio scoring is much needed. (That said, if they DO extend us to next weekend with scoring, I have already told TPTB at my site that I am unequivocally NOT available on the 16th.)

You're welcome aliciag! :) I hope you're able to go!!

Liverpool ~ the one thing that I've been thinking about is the whole timeline with the hours on Walton Way. If Natalie lived in is before the fire...obviously Gabe was dead. So was setting up his room just kind of feeding Diana's issues? Or does Natalie just know it from stories? That part's always confused me.

I still have my program from the NYMF production which did have a song list (although, strangely Costco is not in the list, despite being in the show at NYMF). And my illicit recording came with titles.

I saw all the changes tonight and I think its all for the better! Not knowing about them, I was so caught off gaurd when "another day" kept going...

oh how I will miss this show

Yeah. I know what you mean.

Friday night Alice said the look on the collective audience's faces as she was laying on the floor (that she could see) was "omigod! Did she fall? Is she hurt? Should they do something?" Just sort of shock.

I LOVE it!
