i agree with (i think) ukpaul that this is a much better ending. i've never adapted a musical let alone one from a source as tricky as this. i could see where certain decisions would have to be made but some of them are coming at the expense of the ambiguity that serves the material well. having a reaction like the one previously described as the mayor having at the end seemed outright wrong. for one thing that look should have come with the schoolteacher not the mayor since he was the only character to articulate - at least out loud - those ideas. but if he had it would have diminished the arc of the character. glad to hear it's been dropped. this could be the production to make me change my mind about doyle. his PASSION has me about halfway there anyway.
