Tell Me On A Sunday questions

Hi there - I worked on a production currently running in So. Cal. Not sure if that's the production you're referring to.

We discovered MANY different versions of the show, including a 2 act version with the first quarter of the story still taking place in London, with entirely new (and not great) songs. The current version being licensed seems to be a mash-up of Tell Me...'s greatest hits. The Girl is also nameless, and never referred to as Emma. (tho, having grown up with the Bernadette version, we still lovingly refer to her by that name).

The song you're asking about, Somewhere Someplace Sometime, is still in the show as an optional ending. It's now called Dreams Never Run On Time. (GORGEOUS song, btw) We opted to use this song as our ending because of it's hopeful and positive message. Otherwise, the show ends with our girl basically saying she's going to go buy a new outfit and get a new hairdo to make herself feel better. I LOVE (and have loved for years) the show, but it certainly is dated in some of its approach to a woman's search for love. Our production fought hard to keep her positive and independent. I think we succeeded as best as the script will allow.

I've often thought of creating a version that combines the songs from all versions into one cogent plot -- and placing a young gay guy at the center of it instead of a girl.
