Just saw the closing performance of the tour in Pittsburgh last night and noticed something that was also evident in the Broadway production. *Spoilers*

After Black Stache pulls his severed hand from the trunk, it is evident that the hand is a lefty, when his right hand is the one severed. When I saw it on Broadway I thought it to just be a prop error and they didn't want to spend the time or money to correct it, but to do the exact same thing on tour? Surely they wouldn't want to make the same mistake twice. Has anyone else noticed this?

It's intentional. It's a ridiculous prop; it looks like some kind of jaundiced zombie hand without a trace of blood on it. I've seen a Stache actually play with the moment, looking perplexed at it matching his remaining hand.

Well, I feel foolish for not noticing it the first two times I saw the play!
