He doesn't mention that production at all, does he?

It does seem odd, given the size of the book and the alternate versions he prints for some things. I suppose it's possible he's forgotten, but it was the only Bway revival of INTO THE WOODS.

Now it makes me wonder if he included the new lyrics he wrote for 'God That's Good" in the '05 Bway Revival of SWEENEY.

While it's a relatively brief alteration he also doesn't include the brief line of "Poor Thing" that was rewritten for the movie version of "Sweeney."

It was also probably too much to hope, but given the inclusion of the alternate "Now" written for the "A Little Night Music" movie, I'd have liked to seen the abridged "Liaisons" which had a rewritten bridge as well.

I think it's downright strange he'd leave those out, which makes me think he forgot them. He put alternate versions and cuts through the book. Why would be not mention small cuts and changes to the shows in revivals.

Seems a downright shame. Seems an awful waste.

I blame his ex Peter Jones who he credits as essentially co-authors in the thanks and said checked for all missing material :P

It does annoy me too about things not directly connected to lyrics, but how he mentions the three pigs and Snow White being in the San Diego ITW and then cut for Broadway but doesn't say why (and of course Snow White wasn't cut, just all the apple stuff was).
