Yes, and I had a great time. I don't think there was much time for rehearsal because there were a few flubs, but the casting was all very good. The performers sang without mikes, which was refreshing. There was commentary by Joe Iconis with quotes from Meredith Wilson about the putting on the show on the road, reactions from producers, etc. I went mostly to see Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, who did not disappoint, but all the others were wonderful, too, including the ensemble. Santino sang You've Got Trouble, Laura did Goodnight My Someone and they both sang Till There Was You. Jeffrey Denman got to dance and sing Marian the Librian which he choreographed along with Shipoopi. Ann Harada got to do an Irish accent as Marian's mother in Piano Lesson. The barbershop quartet numbers were lovely. Santino's girlfriend Jessica H. did a lovely Will I Ever Tell You. The original orchestrations were used and they said the orchestra was the same size as the original show.
