Let us know how the opening number is coming along.
The only major flaw with the show when I saw it, and I've heard it is there main focus of concern.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 2/19/05 at 12:34amThe opening number isn't much of a song -- it is a glorified overture with the entire ensemble doing kind of random dancing all over the stage -- it doesn't do much establishment...They aren't singing but rather gliding across the stage for about two minutes -- then John Lithgow sings "Give Them What They Want" which is a good song but not the most banging way to start the show, especially after the two random minutes of dancing...It will be different by August 10th, I feel sure.

DRS is a total blast and you'll be amazed at Norbert's performance. I've seen him in a few shows and I was completely surprised by how hilarious he was in this.
Can't wait to go back!

They were supposed to have it frozen by yesterday (Friday).
The staging is great, but, i have to say, it is a big mess, especially when going in, not knowing what to expect...Gets ya kinda lost, ya know?
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
