I saw the show yet again last night, everytime I see it there's been changes and it just keeps getting better and better and more cohesive. I also saw Michael Mayer (the director) at the show last night. I talked to one of the ensemble members and she said they had 30 pages of notes. She also mentioned that there's gonna be some major plot changes when it gets to NYC. I'm excited to see it on Broadway and see how much it's changed. As for changes, the flowers were cut from "Here You Are" which I believe someone on here already mentioned, there's some added lines for Mopsa and Pamela in "Our Lips Are Sealed", Mopsa's line "The lotions and potions of Lesbos" was cut, the King's monologue after the third flag comes down was rewritten, and a very unnecessary scene in the beginning right before they leave for Bohemia (I can't even remember what it was about) was also cut. They also gave Mopsa and the ensemble jackets for their journey to Bohemia. I'm seeing the show again before it closes in SF and will report on any new changes.

Apologies. Review was on the other thread.

"Attended with my group of twenty last night [Thursday] and we all enjoyed it very much. I do agree that Peppermint's costumes were less than glam and several other costumes should be rethought. Lighting, sound, production design were all very good. Cast absolutely sold the story and the audience was very receptive. Use of the Go-Gos songs was inventive for the most part. Tom Kitt's arrangements and the cast and "all girl band" sold the tunes splendidly. Act 1 meandered a bit, but act 2 whizzed right along. Of the performers Andrew Durand seemed the most secure in his character, but Peppermint needs more rehearsal time to get into character. Spoke to director Michael Mayer prior to the curtain and he reiterated that HOH is still very much a work in progress. Altho the press opening has come and gone I'm guessing that it may not be frozen for the remainder of the SF run.

It is well after 1am as I write this, so please forgive any ramblings.

Questions, comments, observations?"

The music motif is cute

The age guidance on the summary for TDF says 13+. For those who have seen it, is it really ok for a 13 year old? My daughter loves musical theater and has seen a lot of shows, but I've not yet taken her to Spring Awakening or shows like that. Thoughts appreciated!
