Posted: 6/17/11 at 3:16pmI noticed in the playbill of The Book Of Mormon that there are no MUSICAL NUMBERS listed. All the musicals I have been to have an ACT ONE, ACT TWO listings, which tell the theatergoer what is next. Does anyone know why this is?

Posted: 6/17/11 at 3:21pmThis is a trend I normally see with Jukebox musicals...I find it odd that it's happening in the Playbill of an original show.

Posted: 6/17/11 at 3:27pmI vaguely remember someone posting early on in previews that they weren't planning to because some of the numbers give away the plot. The Book of Mormon seems to be keeping a lot of secrets from people who haven't seen the show. The Tony Performance didn't have the usual explanation/context at the beginning and they picked a number which gives away essentially nothing. That's my best guess.

Posted: 6/17/11 at 5:11pmI tell all my friends not to listen to cast recording til they see the show. I think less you know the better.

Posted: 6/17/11 at 9:36pmI prefer when they don't list the musical numbers when it's a show I haven't seen before...then I'm not distracted by thinking "Oh, this is THAT song that was listed" while I'm watching. I'd rather be surprised
