Someone posted on ATC a while ago that they will be using the original book for DAMN YANKEES.
But has anyone here heard anything? I sure hope it's the original book, and not that revised book from 1994. And since this is Encore I assume they will be using Don Walker's original orchestrations. THANK GOD. The revivals of SOUTH PACIFIC and GYPSY have proved how amazing a revival is when they use the original orchestrations played by a FULL orchestra.
Anyone know for sure if they'll be using the original book?

Yes.
The only change I wish they would use is the trio version NEAR TO YOU. Beautiful.
I'm just glad it'll be Cheyenne Jackson and Jane Krakowski performing "Two Lost Souls," although I would have loved having Sean Hayes and Krakowski share a song! The show just needs a duet between them two, but "Two Lost Souls" makes more sense if it's performed by Joe and Lola.
CANNOT wait for this.
Are there any promo codes out?
There seem to be a lot of opportunities to use one on the ticket purchasing site...
