ljay889 said: "I saw the show in very previews when the alternate/bonus "My Crazy Heart" was the OPENING number, before "Madrid" was moved to that spot. It was gloomy and ominous as an opening number, I liked it, but I also saw the need for a high energy opening number like "Madrid." 

 

"

The beauty of seeing early previews!  I love "My Crazy Heart," but I think it benefits from knowing the characters and their stories, whereas "Madrid" works as a high energy introduction to the frenetic world of Women on the Verge

I'll take your word for it, ljay.  The Broadway finale is the only part of the show I don't remember very well and as such, feel was its biggest weakness.

 

Now I just wish I had a video of the London production.   I'd watch it 100 times and never tire of it.

Truly one of the worst and most forgettable scores to ever be on broadway.

Yeah, the score that received a Tony nomination (in a tight season) months after it closed is "one of the worst ever heard on Broadway."

I LOVE the score. Who needs another recording when you have one with Patti and Laura?

I wanted the new recording to hear the changed made/hear a new take. Nothing could ever top the OBC for me. One of the best contemporary scores in the last decade.

I was one of the first fans and supporters of the show and score on this board. I was hooked from the moment I heard the opening chords of the Overture at a first week preview, I knew it was going to be such a special score. It was a joy to watch theater fans and critics come around to the score once the cast recording was released, around the same time David Yazbek received his third Tony nomination, knocking Marc Shaiman's score for Catch Me If You Can out of the category.

Yes!! That's the kind of passion that give shows a good life and reputation outside of Broadway.

My Crazy Heart alone is worth it,  but new orchestrations, new cast, new material and material omitted from the OBC are more than enough reasons to warrant a copy of the OLC.  Not to mention that it's beautifully produced.
