I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Ok, sorry. I came across that today and got excited. I took it down, but you have to admit it made you laugh, right? I'll just post here what I wrote before. They can change 5-9 all they want, but I really hope Heart to Hart stays in! :)
On the radio advertisement I heard, the used: "9 to 5" "Shine Like The Sun" and "Get Out And Stay Out"
Allison Janey narrated it.

They're playing clips of the opening song and GET OUT (and maybe SHINE, but I didn't hear it) outside of the theater now. It's pretty great. Walking past the Marquis, you see not only the great billboard but you hear the music blasting.
Ah, that's so exciting! Rocks, did it sound like the same recording of Get Out and Stay Out on the website? They don't have Shine Like the Sun on it so it might be from the proshot from the Ahmanson.
cant WAIT for this show to be on broadway. Saw it in LA and loved (almost) every minute of it. This show is a HIT. Cant wait to see the changes, but dont give a **** enough to try and predict them.
Here's a cute little bit on 9 to 5 costumes, specifically for Doralee and giving Megan Hilty the *ahem* support she needs. It's silly, but I have heard/seen serious questions asked about it many times. Btw, I love William Ivey Long's costumes for the show. They really do their job to help set the time and place, and fit the characters.
"I never had theatre producers run after me. Some people want to make more Broadway shows out of movies. But Elliot and I aren't going to do Batman: The Musical." - Julie Taymor 1999
hmpeterson, here's the program from the Ahmanson, if you haven't found a song list already. You can look for it on the Center Theatre Group's website. =)
Coming to New York as a 21st present (joint 18th with my brother), so WELL excited to visit Broadway! May consider this as one of the shows (think my Mum will love it), so really excited!

Every time I walk by the Marquis, I hear the last several bars of "Shine like the sun". Every. time. It's like it knows where I am.
That said, I can't wait to see it.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
