Wedding Singer changes (some spoliers) — Page 3

I agree. Its like Hairspray to me. Its hard to hate on it. You can tell they actors enjoy it and you can tell the material really isn't bad, so its sorta hard to pick at it. I mean, no, its not shakespeare, but it isn't trying to be. Its just a good night out.

Yeah, exactly. Well, I guess it evoked something in me. I mean I loved it. But it might have been because I don't see Broadway shows regularly, so it was just cool to be in a Broadway theater with my first ever Original Broadway Cast and stuff. So i was already excited. And I had listened to "its your wedding day" on their website about 10x the day before ha. But I hope the critics are kind to it. I really hope it gets nominated for a Tony. I really wish it would win, but I know it wont.

I forgot to mention that there have been costume changes and a bunch of the random choreography has been shortened.

As of 4/18, they now have a singing/dancing part in the curtain call (think hairspray). They toss the bouquet at the end and then during the dance/song part of the curtain call robbie takes off the garter and throws it into the audience.

Julia's room didn't turn during "If I Told You" so she sang the whole song facing the audience, not sitting at the window. I am not sure if this is a change or if was just a malfunction of the turntable.

The show is getting tighter. All the changes have me really excited.

Amy's skirt is a change and Julia has a new dress for the ending part (it's a green dress with a gold see-through shirt on top). The new dress is cute. It was different from the first time I saw it (as far as I remember).

I liked RIGHT ON TIME as well and had so much trouble getting it out of my head, but this new song changes everything in the first act. It makes Julia front and center (with the stage completely to herself for part of the song). I brings the attention to her right away. It makes her much cuter as well, with the veil and the cake and the pictures, etc. Now she catches the bouquet rather than Amy making the girl give it to her. She also gets more laughs for being "in the way" all the time in this song than she did in RIGHT ON TIME. It definitely is good change. It really changed the direction of the beginning of the show for me. Definitely a good chamge (although I did like the old song. Maybe it can be an "extra" on the album!)

They still have the pre-order thing at the theater for the cd. I haven't heard anything else about the cd yet.

tmz- That must have been a malfunction. I went yesterday, and Julia sat in the window during "If I told You."

They gave Laura a new wig. It's blonde.

What is the new song at the beginning called? The playbills still say Right on Time.

I'll have to make a retur ntrip, cause I had so much fun at the preview, I jus treally can't get over losing Right On Time =*( we'll see

---

I'm pretty sure the new song is called "Someday When It's Me" - at least, that seemed to be a line she said a lot, so I'm making a guess.

It made the first act work SO much better.

---

Yeah, that's the wig. I called it blonde.

I was in the fornt row, too. I never thought to look down and see what the song was called. I like it, though.


I don't know if something went wrong yesterday or what, but towards the end of the show, I heard someone in the orchestra pit go "Oh f*ck." Did anyone notice anything wrong, if you were at the mat yesterday?

"Umm, is there a legitimate way to get a copy of the demo? I plan to buy the recording, but patience was never one of my virtues. PM me if you know. Thanks."

Same here...I'm definitely going to buy the CR but I'd love to hear the demo for now. If anyone has info. could you PM me too please? Thanks so much!

---

I would crack up so hard if I heard somebody go "Oh f*ck!" in the orchestra pit.

---

Um, duh. It's still a question I'm asking. Was she or is she ditzy? I can't imagine Laura Benanti playing an inferior.
