I actually didn't... Only because I am DYING from excitement that this is starting previews on Friday! I'm not sure what the audience response will be in NYC (its DOA for the critics), but I LOVEDLOVEDLOVED this production. There are so many striking stage pictures that are still in my mind ranging from **possible spoilers**
the projection of handwriting being scrawled across the curtain during the opening moments of the show, the curtain rising to show Deborah Cox with her stilettos and fishnet-ed legs propped up on the mirror, to Teal Wicks on the metal platform tracking upstage as she reads Jekyll's diary... **end spoilers**
This particular production is just very special to me

Nope, not for a second.

After seeing Google Nose first thing this morning I am ready for April 1st. But the sad thing with " Jekyll & Hyde opening posponed indefinitely" is it could be true, by the looks of the tickets available for a number of dates I searched, it does not look like there is much interest in it. Hopefully that changes, for the sake of the show.

No, I didn't believe it, because Frank Wildhorn writes tunes and has nothing to do with the script. The idea of J&H postponing for retooling is plausible, but you went too far with the joke and ruined it by claiming Wildhorn was the one doing the "reimagining."

^ He has occasionally contributed lyrics here and there; I believe some of the "additional lyrics" credits on J&H are to both Cuden and Wildhorn.
