Wedding Singer changes (some spoliers)

Saw the 3rd preview on Apr 1 and saw it again last night.
They changed Laura Benanti's first song from "Right on Time"
to something else that escapes me right now that is a little more catchy but still lacking. The Reprise in Robbie's Bedroom is the same though.

Also, on The Loading Dock, when Robbie, Sammy and George tell Glen to take Julia to the Restaurant because he blew off their
anniversary as well as her birthday - well that is gone too.
And so is the mention of her birthday. Now he calls her on his car phone and tells her they are going to the restaurant. The dialogue between Robbie and Julia is a little different when he is writing "Awesome.'"

So those are a couple of things I noticed last night, and there might have been others. I still dont care for Julia's first song and the one I have from the demo I got in October is still a much better song. Anyone know who sang her part
on the demo? And why they changed the lyrics on "Wedding Day" and "Not That Kind of Thing?" I think they were a lot better on the demo.

Aww, that was a cute song. Though when I saw it, Laura got hit in the face with the mop, so... to quote her.. "this is dangerous"

Anyhow.

Spanger back? My boyfriend wants to see this this weekend but I won't take him unless Amy is back, I'm a huge fan.

Right On Time was my favorite song!!!! I was looking forward to going back and hearing it!

Amy Spanger actually plays Julia on the demo.

No, she was supposed to catch it - which she did beautifully on Friday night - it was super coordinated - she stuck her hand out and caught it almost without looking, it was very smooth. Then saturday (don't ask, I had out of town guests, yes I went twice in a row) she stuck her hand out but like... the mop was either late or early and when she turned to look for it, it came out and popped her a good one in the face. She didn't miss a beat with singing, but did say something about it being dangerous after her verse finished.

I was actually amazed that she didn't stop singing because it looked like it really hurt, she was a real pro, she just went to get it (it fell downstage of her) and carried on.

Julia is the lead, right? I haven't seen the show yet, and can't remember the movie. But she's the one that sings "I Wonder" and "If I Told You", etc, etc.

She sings all of the female solos, I think. Julia and Holly.

"Amy Spanger actually plays Julia on the demo."

I don't think so. There are 3 demos. One with someone from Wicked who was brought in to do the demo, one with Ali Mauzi (sp?) and a recent one with Laura.

Demo 1:
It's Your Wedding Day
Letter From Linda
Not That Kind of Thing
Saturday Night In The City
All About The Green
Single
If I Told You

Demo 2
It's Your Wedding Day
Wonder
Not That Kind of Thing
Saturday Night In The City
All About The Green
If I Told You
Single
Grow Old With You

Demo 3
It's Your Wedding Day
Come Out Of The Dumpster
Single
Grow Old With You

Note that Wonder has been cut from the show.

The one I have is the 2nd one that Yeah, um, no. listed

I have two friends who saw the show last night and told me the following:

Whoever was playing Julia had a blonde wig
"Right on Time" was in the show
There was no mop thrown during this number

I don't know how right they are, but that's what they said...

I actually saw the show last night too and here's what's changed.

(Spoilers, kinda)


Right on Time is cut. The song is now, something like, "All I Need is You". I think it's cute and catchy. Except, while Robbie is getting ready for his Wedding with his Grandma, Robbie sings like, 4 lines from Right on Time. But at the altar, he sings the new song "All I Need is You".

There are a lot of scene changes too. And during the "Awesome" song, they took out Julia's line about the possum. Which I liked but, it is gone.

Seriously... I will be quite sad if it's not on there...

Someone start a petition!
