Tune Ups (3) & Voice Mails (5)
On the Street
We're Okay
Christmas Bells
Happy New Year (A & B)
SOL B
Contact
Halloween
Finale (A & B)
I just typed up all the songs that weren't included major and non major. It's kinda sad Christmas Bells isn't in it but it seems like an easier scene to do without music but I think that's why I was looking forward to it as a musical number. It can either be done really well or it can be disastrous. The songs that were cut seem to probably follow the same track as You okay honey and You'll See boys. I think Halloween is such a beautiful song but if that number gets turned into dialogue, I think that'll be a nice place to see the writing shine though since Larson already did such a great job capturing the moment in the song.
ETA: to take out ICY. I definitely skipped over the "and Reprise."

#831libretto question
Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:15am
Hey Anthony,
I've been puzzling forever over something to ask you that I'd really like to know, and I think I finally figured it out.
So, I was looking through the rent book the other day, and I realized that there is a line in it that no one i've talked to has been able to explain. We all have our ideas, but no one seems to know what Jonathan Larson actually meant by it. It's Maureen's line at the end of contact: "I think I missed...don't get pissed." I know it's probably inappropriate subject matter, but I was hoping that since you were around during the workshops and such, you might have some insight and be able to put the debate to rest.
ok, so not the greatest question, but it's the best i could do.
Great job in LSOH! I really enjoyed the show.
edit: I think the CB answer is dumb. I was just hoping there was something better.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:28amUm...Uh...I want to answer this question to what i think Maureen meant but i think i might PM you instead cos it just might not be appropriate.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:30amI kind of think these boards have seen way worse.

Scroll down about midway. Or, if you're lazy, use your Find tool, and type in "dildo". Oops, I think I just gave it away.

I've never really been on compulsive bowlers, but I felt like procrastinating, so I read the FAQ. Hilarious. I would love a post like that for BWW.
Oh, and casted isn't a word, so I changed the subject.
Why do we play with fire?
Why do we run our fingers through the flame?
Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain?

That works!
CB is good but I keep my posts to a minimum. All my dumb SH*T happens on this board.

I don't think "casted" is a word no matter how you use it...
and yeah, I don't usually post on CB, either. I lurk there! It's more fun over here.

Oh yeah, you're right. "has been cast" sounds right. **blush** And I prided myself on my grammar.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 10:39pmI used to be a big CBer, but the two-year old mentality got out of hand. Every time someone posted something that there was an old thread for, they got flamed for not searching first. If they revived an old thread to ask, they got insulted for that too. It's just unecessary. If it bothers you, ignore it.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 10:49pmi was wondering if you guys are at all concerned about knowing too much about the movie. *gasp* i know. i too am very curious and on the one hand want to know as much about it as i can and the latest developments and details and everything, but i feel like, other than casting, if i know too much information i won't be able to enjoy the experience of the movie fully. i want to be able to be surprised by the way they present the songs and the show. obviously, i want it to be done well, but i think the best way to see the movie is with an open mind and the best way to achieve that is to not know too much going in and having pictures in your head of what each scene will look like and what will work and what won't. what do you think? does knowing too much in advance spoil the magic (or potential magic)?

Posted: 11/8/04 at 10:58pmI hate surprises. I like to know what to expect and what to brace myself to be disappointed for.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 11:01pmI want to know who's cast, not the script and scene-for-scene details. Anthony can't tell us, I'm sure, and I'm glad because I don't want it all ruined. I just couldn't stand being in the dark for a year.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 11:03pmyea, definitly knowing that members of the original cast are in it is so cool and makes me look forward to it even more, but even knowing what songs are there and which ones aren't will make me more conscience of it throughout the movie and make the experience less enjoyable i feel.

The thing about filmmaking is that things change all the time. Whatever script exists now will probably be rewritten somewhat, even during shooting. And once shooting is finished, the editing process will change things again, whether in reordering scenes or in cutting things out. Even when using the material as written, editing can change the meaning of a scene.
If you see a test screening or preview, don't count on the movie being the same when it's released. It's quite similar to the theater out-of-town tryout and preview process - a lot of changes are subtle, while others are monumental. It can be quite a rollercoaster ride.
