knowing them doesn't mean I blindly worship them. When their work moves me, it does. When it doesn't, it doesn't (Curtains and Drood are good example of the latter). Some people here on ATC who saw this iteration of the show before I did feel that the cuts went too deep. I went in prepared to be honest if what I felt the heart or structure of the show was cut out, but it truly didn't feel that way to me...I find the book is a study in economy and much of the score works even better for me now. I didn't think the Goodman production should have transferred. I thought the Signature one was this close. This is the version that I think should be seen on Broadway.
