Amazing how many changes there have been to the show in just two weeks. They're all working hard. I would like to see it again, maybe via the 20at20 promotion.

Huge changes! I saw it last night and it was fabulous. But, I think the order above was different, and there was no Into the Woods, Peter and the Starcatcher, or Phantom. Once was hilarious, but I was absolutely crying at the Evita part (when she did the whisper-soprano). Also, that guy's Mandy Patinkin was unbelievable. Sounds just like him.

Natalie Ellis was amazing. I can't remember the other young woman's name, but she was excellent as well, but Natalie was outstanding.

The Into the Woods number was in when I saw it about three weeks ago. It started with Sondheim singing about the "Agony" of putting up Into the Woods in Central Park, and he was later joined by Donna Murphy and Amy Adams in their respective costumes. I don't remember too many specifics, but I remember a bit involving Amy Adams being endearingly clueless about what she was getting herself into.

Maybe they added the numbers after i saw it.

When I saw it, there were not numbers that referenced IN THE WOODS, FOLLIES, GHOST, or PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

We did see an updated version of "You've Gotta Get a Puppet" with a WAR HORSE reference in the place of the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS reference. We had a shortened version of "Wickeder."

I loved the performance I saw, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to enjoy FORBIDDEN BROADWAY live, which is something I had wanted to do for quite some time. I wish I could have seen it after the official opening date as well, but alas living in Houston, TX makes it hard.

this just announced it'll extend through April 28, 2013. Congrats to the cast & crew. just wondering as I didn't see any listed on their website, but considering they do 8 shows a week, do they have understudies??

I haven't even seen it, but the title "Falling Slowly/Frere Jacques" just made me do a spit-take with my egg sandwich.

I decided to go see the show again after listening to the cast album.

I actually thought the Sondheim impression on this new recording was spot-on. "...aaaand."
