Weird order for Home and Home (Reprise), even weirder that Worst Day of My Life is missing. But yay for Heroes being included!

Shame about Worst Day. Although, I did always find it slightly odd to start a musical with someone singing about how crappy and terrible their day is going to be.

The concept album version of Worst Day was the only song I'd ever heard from the score that I liked. Why would they change it?

I wonder how many of those on the CD will be in the show come opening night?

---

Home is still there, just happening further into Act I now, with Alice instead of Chloe singing... or did that change recently?

I really don't understand why they couldn't wait to record this after opening. They already have the concept recording to sell at the theater during previews. And they could send Tony voters a rough cut even after recording late March/early April.

I'm so excited for this album, I can't even deal.

There was a song called "Heros" in the show when I saw it, and it wasn't just a Home reprise (or atleast it felt like a whole new song). I'll get this album. I remember when I saw this thinking that I will probably get the recording. I'm a sucker for some of that mindless pop.

I think the show could stand to have more time in the real world. One of the problems I saw with the show is they didn't establish enough of a plot back in her world. It certainly didn't run long.

Yes - Overture is now "I Am My Own Invention" (the bit of the music that used to open the show in the world premiere) and it's still "The Chase" music (which was the old overture).

Entr'Acte is now "Welcome to Wonderland," "Home," and the ending of "Through the Looking Glass" as opposed to just a baby intro of "TTLG." (Curtain call music was also tweaked, should any one care - Darren comes out to "One Knight")


Are you sure "Heroes" was back in? The "Home (Reprise)" was all the same characters listed for "Heroes," but it wasn't back in the last time I caught the show on Thursday. It's a great song, shows how Wildhorn can capture emotion beautifully. Definitely my top 3 favorite song in the show, I was disappointed to see it not in it yet.



BWAYToday - I like the more out of Wonderland scenes too, but it's something the producers/old creatives wanted to eliminate. THey wanted to be in Wonderland as quick as possible. The old opening scene was about 15 minutes (at a rooftop party, and Apartment 8A) with two songs. They cut it down for Houston, and then for the last Tampa go they had about 7 minutes or so ("Worst Day" for Alice in an office board room, and Chloe at the apartment singing "Home").

Yeah "Heroes" has never been in any preview performances, only Tampa '11. A shame... it's a beautiful song!

All I know that there is a song called "Heros" listed in the playbill, and I didn't really recognize it as a "Home" reprise, but Anakela said that it was not and has never been in it, and I take their word for it.

Ha, thanks? :) And this is where that mention of Heroes was! I knew I'd read it, but couldn't figure out where when I was posting in the other thread last night... the second act is short, they could totally put Heroes back in at the end (and lose Home (Reprise)? Was there a Home (Reprise) in Tampa '11? No, right?)
