Yes it is JBW actually singing Hanschen.
Gideon Glick was the original Ernst left in Sept of 07 for school at NYU and picked up to do "little" Speech & Debate (which is kind of ironic since that has now been extended 2x)
AND two songs are reversed in Act II. (That drove me nuts for a while.)
And really: how do the producers (or whomever is responsible) NOT catch the JBW thing?
I do not know how many cd's were manufactured w/wrong info. I got my cd about 6 months after its release and the cast's names are all listed correctly.
Another agreement: the cd does NOT give credit to the music of the show. I really miss Ilse's intro to Purple Summer.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
