I'm going to be there tomorrow night and will surely post my thoughts and the song list!

One wonders how often Sondheim will be around at previews.

Bless you, sir.

I really want this show to turn around as much as it possibly can. I've said before that I don't think it'll ever be a great show, but it could very possibly be very good, as good as INTO THE WOODS (and the lyrics are already better than those in WOODS!)

I'm going into the show blind.

I really have only the basic idea of what it's about and haven't heard any of the music. So it should be interesting....

Oh yes, if someone who is going could please post the song list, it'd be much appreciated!

I wish I could see this, but sadly I can't. I'm really hoping this show can make a complete turn-a-round!

I really hope the show can make a complete turn around too. I would love if it transfered, and Sondheim could win his 9th Tony.

And even if it doesn't make a complete turnaround, it's still a brand new Sondheim (well, mostly)...a rarity these days.

Not counting this or THE FROGS, what was the last NEW Sondheim show in NY?

Listening to a tape of the WISE GUYS workshop from 1999 (starring Nathan Lane and Victor Garbor). Very very weird, hearing songs from the CD as snippets here (the only familiar things I've heard so far are bits of "Next to You," "Addison's Trip," "Gold!" and "Get Out of My Life.")

On my right
Is a space
Where there used to be my brother
But he hasn't been well

He's a kid
Like no other
All that guilt about his mother
He can ////ing go to Hell...

PASSION was his last new show in NY.

I really hope this works out.

I'll be there! I'm SO excited! If this does work and transfer to Broadway the "new score" category is going to be a heated race! (I just saw Billy Elliot tonight and was blown away! It was incredible, and the score was really great! Elton John knows how to right an anthem!)

Oh. I guess I was wrong.

'At the Public, in the hands of some accomplished recent interpreters of Sondheim’s work (director John Doyle, stars Michael Cerveris and Alexander Gemignani), a lot of what’s going on is restoration. Some old songs have been reinstated, and Wilson’s girlfriend has been removed—but not Addison’s lover, making them the first openly gay characters in a Sondheim show, a piece of trivia that seems to interest their creator not at all. Mainly, Sondheim says, he and Weidman want to recapture “the swift, light musical comedy feeling” of the show’s early drafts.'

Boy, is MY face red.

My big question is...are they strill claiming that teh Yukon is IN Alaska?

Otherwise I am prepared to wait until opening night.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I got back from the show. There isn't a song list in the playbill.. I found that quite odd. So I cannot help with the song list. Overall it was enjoyable. Alexander G is terrific.
