1) I wonder what the original plan was 

2) I hope this doesn't hurt the chances of a transfer

Maybe they wanted water bottles in the theatre, which broke Rudin's 1st commandment.

All joking aside, I am genuinely curious what the alternative could have been. Anyone have any actual ideas? One would think that the default would be that the production would remain more or less the same when it transferred.

Talk about not exactly getting the project off on the right foot.

Of course it will remain more or less the same, his problem is that that isn't the show he originally had in mind.
