Sorry, jumped to conclusions!

My, that's embarrassing....my apologies!!



Dumb post below...asked to be deleted by mods.

I follow several actors on Instagram and one of the ensemble members (Becca Lee) posted that they are bringing in the original opening number as of tonight.
Woah. I mean this show has been running for months and has been nominated for 7 Tony Awards. Aren't we locked by now?
Bizarre!

I would love to know the reason behind it. If it makes sense or somehow makes the story better, that's cool. A bit strange though.

Wait, I just saw the post in question and apparently the new opening number has something to do with Forrest Gump? Was that the original musical Barry and Dee Dee were in before the FDR one?

Okay let's clarify things. Becca Lee's post says "Today we are going back in time and performing what USED to be the Opening Number of The Prom." She says nothing about "bringing in the original opening number as of tonight."

Many cast members of The Prom (including Becca Lee herself) have been posting about a special press event today, so my assumption is that they are performing the original opening number at this press event, possibly to show how the show has developed over the years.

Let's not make things up or jump to crazy conclusions without doing some research first :)

Woah, sorry! Very easy to jump to conclusions though. I'm sure I'm not alone haha. It totally threw me. I was like sad because we have that cast album memorized heehee
