In "Justice For Tulsa", Paul (I think) sings to Cherry
"Bob went crazy when he saw you with that greaser kid.
You held his hand at the concession stand
I saw it all
You know just what you did"
And in the show, all the Socs stand behind him sing that lastline to Cherry which makes it really almost chilling, ganging up on her and you don't hear that here. That's honestly the only thing I wish was different with this recording."
Interesting that you mention this as it concerns a question I had after seeing the first preview. I posted then in the previews thread:
“Curious about a small aspect. I read in comments about the La Jolla run that quite a few people thought “the hand holding” between Ponyboy and Cherry was too much/going too far. [not sure but assumed they thought it was more than what happened in the book and/or movie] I paid attention during the drive-in scene and did not notice ANY hand holding.
So I thought that might have been changed. However a song after that scene had characters singing about the hand holding. So did I miss it, or were the song lyrics not changed to go with the “no hand holding” change?”
No one responded, so now still curious what others remember actually seeing on stage…hand holding or no hand holding??
