That seems hard to believe. I really loved it, too, and I agree that it deserved better. Maybe it's because I saw it after Equus and Black Watch, but I needed something light and fun and this definitely fit the bill. You're so right about the energy. I think it's probably the perfect length now. It zips along, really keeps you engaged for the 90 minutes.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-30382640646634723732008-11-22T03:47:00.000-05:002008-11-22T03:47:00.000-05:00I just went to see it last night and forgot how mu...I just went to see it last night and forgot how much I loved it and loved the energy from the kids! They streamlined the story a LOT and left out a LOT of jokes and Jewishness from the longer Goodspeed version but I think while I missed a few things, it worked better now as a faster story. (Though I still preferred the way it opened at Goodspeed with a LONG "Thirteen" intro that is broken apart in the Broadway version) and I liked the sets WAY more at Goodspeed. <BR/><BR/>Still, I'm kinda sad its going to close on Broadway now. I deserves better.Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342092747348921676noreply@blogger.com
