Even the poster on the marquee looks tacked on like it won't be there long.

^I noticed that too and was hoping they're waiting for new artwork.

I hope so! Maybe this is just teaser art work? I mean it does seem odd to promote a show with no black woman actually in the show? Unless they're planning on recasting when they get to NYC.

I don't have access to the "bootleg", but I have access to the Old Globe's archival footage. It's the full show from a stationary cam from what seems to be the front of the mezz. If anyone wants to take a peak, you can PM me as well.

A few other things:

- To be fair, they are not going to be there long, and A LOT of shows modify or completely change the artwork between the Tryout and the first broadway preview.

- Its starting to grow on me a bit. I like the colors and the cityscape, but yeah...

To be fair, the women on the artwork are not necessarily Prince, Cusack, and Sherrill. None of them even look close to any of them. They could just represent everyday women.

- I am (hopefully) seeing the show on the 1st, so if no one does it before me, I will post a song list then.

There were two (supposedly bootleg) clips from San Diego on YouTube that the producers ordered taken down. However, two official Old Globe videos are still up.

Is 'You Don't Own Me' going to be used at all? besides being a totally train wreck that i could not stop watching, not having that song made NO sense.

First Pic

Just from that picture, I'd say this production has a bigger budget than San Diego's did.

That picture is clearly from the "Morty's Got It All" sequence - Brenda (Faith Prince)'s husband films a cheesy TV commercial for his appliance store. Makes me wonder how far off the score will be from the Old Globe production...

^ I honestly don't think it has changed a lot. Brenda's act 1 closer "My Heart Want's to Try One More Time" is still there.

First preview is tomorrow! Anyone on BWW attending?

Did your friend have anything to say about the show itself?

Do you think now with the passing of Lesley Gore that there will be more of a push to include "You Don't Own Me"?...

It's obviously a VERY conscious decision to not include "You Don't Own Me", if that is still the case. Maybe it has to do with the rights?

The show curtain is pretty good actually!

The show curtain reminds me of the opening of "Bewitched"...

[Mr. Nowack]

Posted: 2/16/15 at 8:34pm

I thought of Bewitched as well.

Broadway in Chicago just announced that they will sell a limited amount of tickets every day for $25.00, limit two tickets per person. They are really having a hard time selling tickets for this show...

[RippedMan]

That's an ugly ass show curtain. Just uninspired.

^ aha everything so far about this production leading up to this point just looks bad, tired, cheap, uninspiring...wondering what those that saw it have to say but those first night supporters always luv everything and state that it's the best new musical and can't wait for the score. No Hamilton here!

I'll be there tonight for the first preview. Good or bad, I'm looking forward to it!

[ChgoTheatreGuy]

Posted: 2/17/15 at 12:03pm

I won tickets to tonight's show, looking forward to it!...

[ABB2357]

Posted: 2/17/15 at 12:28pm

Enjoy! Could one of you post a report after, or at least a song list? I'm can't wait to hear what this new version is like - and if it's as awesomely terrible as the San Diego production.

I couldn't pass up discount tickets for my favorite seats: first row, center Mezz/Loge and will also be there tonight.

"Book of Mormon" reopens tomorrow here also, so the "Wives" are going to have some competition here during their run...

[gleek4114]

Posted: 2/17/15 at 3:56pm

I was actually pleasantly surprised that BOM was going to be there at the same time. I will try to catch them both :)

I'll be there on Thursday. I don't have high expectations but thinking it could land in "guilty pleasure" territory, we'll see.
