Other than the song list for the cast recording (which I sure every musical number sadly was not included on the recording) has a full song list been released of all the musical numbers that will be performed in the live broadcast? (rested body, who do you think you are, emerald city ballet, ect...)

Sorry I wasn't aware there was another title for the song. I feel like rested body might be included just because its so short but on the CD it would just be combined with Believe in Yourself

"emerald city ballet, lion's dream, and kalidah battle are definitely in. I am not sure about who do you think you are, a rested body, or believe in yourself (the wizard's song)

Emerald City Ballet is definitely in, based on the Making-Of special. They played it briefly, using as underscore during one of the segments.

I looked at the track listing for the original Broadway Cast Recording and the track listing for this production, and with the exception of the omission of I Was Born On the Day Before Yesterday, they're virtually identical as far as representing the material from the stage show as originally conceived, even with some of the songs being named differently on the OBCR than how they're named in this new production.

Snafu, when you visit, please don't let the cast and crew know the Broadwayworld users have been bitching and undermining all their hard work for weeks now.

Unfortunately, I believe they already know. You can be sure more then a few visit the boards. Thing is they KNOW this is going to be something special. Whether it meets everyone's expectations is another point. I will be an apology for Peter Pan!

I'm sorry the cast and crew had to read so many negative comments from rude people who hadn't even seen 10 minutes of the show before they started to bitch and moan about it. But I guess that's a part of the business.
I still find it strange that random people on here thought they knew better than an acclaimed director who is known around town as Broadway's leading African-American director.
But of course, delusions of grandeur run high on the internet

See, it's one thing to think it's going to be good, but it's another to adopt some sort of high and mighty attitude about one's fake concern for the professional production team. If the past two NBC musicals hadn't been utter crap, perhaps the internet randos might have higher expectations.
Also, for someone who has such strong opinions on a production of Fiddler he or she hadn't seen, how is this any different, except for the fact that people have seen Fiddler and no one has seen The Wiz?

Sound of Music wasnt even bad and yeah Peter pan was kinda terrible, but I saw nothing in the Wiz promo clips that made it out to be a bad show. I think some people were just nit picking. It might not be how they envisioned The Wiz, but that doesn't mean its bad. Up until recently, this thread has been bombarded with negative after negative comments about the wiz.

You're entitled to any opinion or expectation you want. You're just not morally superior for them, as your comments seem to imply.

The case with Fiddler is different because many people are still having problems with some of it. No one has a leg to stand on with the Wiz cause it hasn't been seen by anyone yet. I'm not saying I'm superior but I have been a lot more lenient on Fiddler than people have been with on the Wiz.

But you haven't seen it, yet you still fixate on the stagehand, and post negative opinions that that show's creative team can see, and then chastise people in this thread because they haven't seen a minute of this thing that nobody could have seen a minute of.
And this entire comment reeks of superiority:

I've posted my apprehensions of the show but I have also said positive things about it. How I was excited to see it and how I love Danny's work and how I love the show. You're entitled to your opinion though. But your attempts to vilify me just seem a little silly.

I'm not trying to vilify you. I'm just pointing out that you're laying on the sanctimony awfully thick here about people's negative preconceptions while you still double-down on your own.

Okay I see where you're coming from. Let's put aside our discrepancies and enjoy our time here. As they say in Fiddler: TO LIFE!
