What happened to Clyde ?

Saw Witches last week -total disappointment.
Why the awful rewrites ? The new material is hideous !!!
Marti was great but I thought the whole thing reeked of cheap. No costume changes, no special effects (where was all the vomiting, exploding tennis balls, burning music stand, etc ?) and the huge plot holes left for people to question.
Clyde is meant to die ! not just sit on the sofa after felicia dies and then you find out later that he died too. They have ruined a fantastic show, and left it ,if you havent seen it before almost impossible to follow. Pity.

re: What happened to Clyde ?

I thought you were really looking forward to it Childcatcher. Shame when a fan is dissapointed with a show. I'm still looking forward to its Cardiff stop however, just because I have never seen it professionally. But no special effects? Even the amatuer production I saw in Cardiff had all of what you mentioned...not good >.<

I was soooo looking forward to it lukey as I was in the Scottish premiere *looks smug flicks hair in a divaish manner*
We worked so hard on it had great reviews and got special effects hand made etc, I just thought the prof tour lacked any oomph and money spent on it. The rewrites urg! WHY WHY WHY ?

re: What happened to Clyde ?

Such a shame. Well I'll still give it a chance in Cardiff. I have to say however I have been expecting a let-down, I loved the original and think it needs nothing changed. Sure a new production would be nice but I always found it to be one of the very few modern musicals that is near-perfect. That's the impression I got from the production I saw anyway. I mean the OLCR hasn't got the best cast by all means, but it's a chilling score with (again from what I saw in the amatuer production) a good book and opportunities to be as magical as possible. Why would they throw that away? Eek!

re: What happened to Clyde ?

i personally hated the tour ! not going to lie ! the originl material material that was cut like i love the little town was a travesty and i will keep saying that till i die ! and the new stuff is terible ! but i like the original london cast think there very good but no it was not made very clear that clyde died or killed himself ! and im upset that they cut loose ends cause i think that its a great song ! there was a bit of it in there but not much ! and the overture and eastwick knows were to rushed ! i do music at a level and i know when a peice sounds awful and at the mayflower it did ! it was over before ya could say make him mine !evil the special effects were terrible! whos the man had been cut but thats been gone since the move to the prince of wales but still dont really care ! i like it ! marti pellow just protrayed darryl as this really puffy character when he ran down the aile at the mayflower and i thought from then on the show would go even more down hill ! didnt like his voice put i personally loved rebbeca poppy and ria becuase i thought they brought some class to the musical and were amazing in there roles ! james graeme as clyde not really covinced cause he wasnt in it much and rachel inez as felicia was awful i love rosemary ashe as felicia !
I think the show has been destoryed and personally would love to see the original production ! my peiec over and done with sorry if i sound like a critic but i love this show and i still love it but only the original london production. i personally have waffeled on and not used very much punctuation ! which is terrible but i only got a c at gcse and im doing literature now !

Loose Ends has also been cut since the move to the Prince of Wales. Was a nice song, but it dragged a little. I am looking forwrad to it, just to see how it is, but I think I love the original too much, and if it's changed that much cannot see myself enjoying it.
