Reliable source claims that they're putting in "Me & My Town" for Kritzer.

I was wondering about what else was going to be put in for Leslie Kritzer. Saw it two Sundays ago before the changes went in last week. Hope she gets a nice big number.
I loved it and can't wait when the show is frozen. A poster above made a great point about how songs took on a different meaning and weight after hearing Sondheim's personal story, with which, admittedly, I was not familiar.
I'd listen to Barbara Cook any day and twice on Sunday over many other singers 50-60 years younger than she. She was exquisite.

That reliable source is unreliable. They're putting in a much better song for her.

I'd love to see her do "Getting Married Today".

Since its length isn't a problem for me ... if I had one dream request, it would be to give Miss Cook "Stay With Me" from WOODS. One of Sondheim's simplest but most soul-bearing songs. Its maternal heartbreak just seems so right for her, and to me, it's still the defining lyric of that show's theme.

Please tell me that the production doesn't actually refer to them as mash-ups and this is just Gleecabulary on part of our posters?

I am sorry, but I was using that term before Glee came around, and I thought it was a word before Glee was on...I am sorry.

As of tonight, Kritzer sings "Now You Know" from MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I told you it wasn't "Me and My Town," newintown.

Now You Know? Good for Kritzer. It's a terrific song!
I really hope this turns into an open-ended run, rather than limited. I won't be able to get to the city until July, at the earliest.

Wow, they're REALLY heavily featuring MERRILY in this show, I'd say more than any of his others musicals.

It's probably one of the most autobiographical, as he himself admits (somewhat) in the "Opening Doors" sequence, so it makes sense that they'd pull a lot from it.

And Roundabout is almost certainly doing it next season so they want to try out as much as they can.
"Now you know" is a perfect song for Kritzer!

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

They feature Merrily and Follies heavily, which delights me.
Follies is the show that made me who I am, and Merrily has some of my all-time favorite lyrics. I can't wait to hear Leslie sing
I mean, socks have holes.
I mean, roads have bumps,
They make meatheads champs and nice guys chumps.
I mean, even Cream of Wheat has lumps.
And I hope they have her sing the words that Ann Morrison made so memorable even though it's just a throwaway: "Over here, hello!"

Those lyrics are not in the revised (licensed) version though. I prefer the re-write. I wonder what they will use?

Has anything been added from Pacific Overtures? I enjoy the songs from Merrily so I'm glad there's more from that show, but I'd still like a nod to Pacific Overtures.
