Well, you've read the notes, the notes were neither fixed nor broken, and now it is time for you to post until the fixed and broken cows come home.

I think it is really terrible that you can't get the original version of a musical to produce. You should be given a choice of the original or the revised edition.

I know! It's kind of like how the original theatrical version of "Star Wars" should also be made available!

Certainly, THE SOUND OF MUSIC and CABARET should give you a choice between the original stage productions and the often revised productions. Newer isn't always better.

Follies has the same issues - I would ONLY produce the original script.

That is why I am so grateful that you can get all three versions of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. The original version is far better, to me, than either of the newer versions.

And who knows what version you are going to get when you produce GREASE.

A slightly irritating dream, and feeling very slightly chilled, woke me up a little too early.

But not TOO too early, so not that bad. Kicked the heat up slightly, fed the feline contingent, and there's a cup of coffee in front of me.

Sickening to hear about the state of COMPANY.

And...I'm a simple man...I don't understand why the original versions of these shows are verboten, should a company be willing and able to mount them.

Fortunately, we were spared any additional snow yesterday. It flurried once or twice, nothing more.

But lest anyone get misty-eyed over the lack of new snow and the possible loss of old snow, I can assure you that last Tuesday's snow is still right here, right where I left it.

It just looks a little neater, with the bits stuck to the asphalt and sidewalks having receded. The other parts are still as high as an elephant's eye.

The laundry is in the washers. I have to make my bed ande pick up the flotsam and jetsam of the past weeks. I can toss all the detritus of "The New Yorkers" and get ready for whatever project comes down the pike next.

I really have little interest in doing anything today. If I get my energy up, I might walk a block and see "Beauty and the Beast." If I don't leave the aartment today, I'm perfectly content. The next two weeks are going to be busy.

There are three (maybe four versions) available.

The original
Movie songs
High school version (Lyrics and dialogue cleaned up)

The also did the "original" version somewhere (I think Chicago) where it was "tougher" Language and Lyrics before it was changed for Broadway

Michael · « **Reply #26 on:** March 19, 2017, 06:51:31 AM »

Then there are all the high school and junior versions of musicals. For example I believe Into The Woods Junior only uses the first act!

Thanks for all the compliments from yesterdays posts.
