Quick Q:
Since this show has long been in production and had success in other venues, is it safe to say that it probably won't change/improve much during previews?
i.e. going the first week is going to get us close to a finished product? As opposed to Cry Baby and others that went through decent changes.

Posted: 7/2/08 at 10:36pmThey said they were going to make a new recording, so I would assume there would be enough changes to warrant that new recording...

Well, they've been saying that it's been changing and there's a lot of "new stuff for the old fans to enjoy" so I guess there's no guarantee that it'll be done changing by Saturday. But I doubt it would change as much as Cry-Baby since, yes, it has been together for a couple of years now.
ETA: Didn't mean to be redundant. Just took more time to type than the guy above me.

Not to veer off-topic, but there is a misconception that CRY-BABY changed during previews.
I saw the second preview, and then I saw it after it opened, and it was the same exact show both times.

Posted: 7/2/08 at 10:52pmMaybe [TOS] will do what Grey Gardens did and only record the new stuff & put it with the old stuff.

I don't know how you can say it's the exact same show. I saw the 3rd preview then the "finished" show and 2 songs were cut, songs were moved around and Harriet's song wasn't orchestrated when I saw it the first time.
I actually liked the changes especially moving "Nobody Gets Me" to later in the show. Cry Baby came off as whiny when it was the first song he sang.

I love it!
As for show changes, I'm pretty sure that the show will acknowledge that it's on Broadway. Excited if there will be a new recording :)

Re; Cry-Baby, it was a completely different show. I've seen the first preview, and after the opening, it was a MUCH better show with the changes made, IMO. "Nobody Gets Me" was much better later in the show, removing "Let's Get Some Air", all the extra nonsense from "I'm Infected" and "You Can't Beat the System", and changing "Class Dismissed" to "A Whole Lot Worse" (a much better song, IMO) really benefitted the show. Also, I think Snyder's performance was much better after the opening.
Anyway, threadjacking!
[tos] is so awesome, and I can't wait to see it Saturday!
