Who else REALLY misses Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? — Page 2

Yazbek's lyrics for "Nothing is too Wonderful to Be True" transform from beautiful to hilarious. I adore that song, especially the contrast melody/lyric for Freddy.

It was a shame he changed the opening number for the tour. It really was a lesser song.

And I think Jerry Mitchell's choreography was wonderful.

"Here I Am" has to be one of my favorite showtunes out there.

I saw Hewitt's first public performance in the role, so I'm unsure if he was under rehearsed or what. I've enjoyed his work before, but he was very stiff in the role and lacked the ease of Lithgow.

Don't know if I miss it, exactly, but I will say that when I saw "Boeing Boeing" I thought that Rylance and Whitford were a pale comedy team compared to Butz and Pryce. They were a duo for the ages.

I cant wait for MTI to release the rights for this show. I always felt both this (and 'Curtains' now that its closing) have great potential in regional theatres and community theatre.

Replacement number/song is/was: "The Only Game in Town."
