DR Elmore, what has to be done with the Dear World scores? Just proofing and correcting the existing materials? Is some reconstruction going to be necessary?
I can't go into detail for several reasons, but the show went through so many changes in the pre-Broadway tryout and various post-Broadway attempts to fix it that I don't really know what's going on with the Encores! decisions. Joshie is creating new scores from the original Phil Lang orchestra scores, and, as he creates the new scores, I am proofing what he has already copied. For instance, on Wednesday, at City Center, I proofread a number cut in Boston "Through the Bottom of the Glass" that is now back in the show.
Incidentally, in Boston, "Through the Bottom of the Glass" was replaced by this number before it too was cut:
