...did not feel the need to alter the text, add trunk songs, badmouth the original, etc. Sunday, Pacific, and Gypsy all keep to the original script and score while still being fresh and new. Great season for revivals.

Sorry, but there were several cuts to the GYPSY script..including Rose's pretend rape in the Mr. Goldstone scene...and of course, the ending of the show was downright changed. The text was altered. The end of the show...changed.

I would have been thrilled if these changes had not happened.

Bobby, you are just a little chatterbox today!

Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

And they added a song and a bit of dialogue to South Pacific.

SITPWG could have used some changes. And a full orchestra.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yes, let's fix the show that won a Pulitzer. What do they know?

I know you were being "funny" and snotty.
But.
Many shows that have won the Pulitzer could use some fixing. Also, many of them have been "fixed" after the Pulitzer... The Young Man from Atlanta comes to mind... and... they did add a song to South Pacific and a full orchestra... and South Pacific is also a Pulitzer winner.

There are some lyric changes in "Putting It Together", aren't there? Or am I imagining things...?
