Especially kids who grew up in funeral homes.

I mean...are we more concerned about the child actors pretending to be kids growing up in funeral homes than we are about kids who actually grow up in funeral homes??

"Yes it was fascinating that the lead girl was a gay woman and so was her father."

Wouldn't it be nice if we all had a gay women as a father? Who was a kid who grew up in a funeral home playing a kid who grew up in a funeral home?

Oh, I'm dizzy now.

As long as the kids didn't play in coffins!

The thing about the show is, it makes it VERY clear that the kids have access to the showroom but not back in the embalming area when there is a corpse there. I mean, Jesus, it's about as edgy as kids playing in showroom cars at an auto dealership.

At least in the show I heard, the crucial scene where Alison is first allowed access to the embalming theatre was in there as a diary entry. It's certainly made explicit in the novel, if no longer in the play.

Yes, in the musical, Alison is called by her father to assist him in the back area, where he's working on a corpse. It is the first time she was allowed back there. Are you saying that the scene is no longer in the show?

^ Do you see what crazy assertions about kids playing in coffins does??? It makes us all question if we've even seen the show.

Don't let the crazy in. It replicates.

As far as I know it is still in, but things have been added and cut since the second preview. My experience still had the "Is that what you want to look like" scene.

It was in as recent as two weeks ago and the older Alison comments on it to the effect of: "What was that all about Dad? Is that how your father introduced you to a dead body?:"
