Having very much enjoyed the Goodman production (which I saw twice)and the Signature production, I'm curious about what material has been further cut to get the show down to 95 minutes. I understand that "One Legged Tango" is gone, but is "I Would Never Leave You" which led into it still there? If so, how does that song deal with Lenny and Benny's absence? I know the original demo recording had a verse for Rudy, a verse for Lenny & Benny, a verse for the Eunuchs and a verse for the husband. By Goodman/Signature-time, Clare's verse had replaced the husband's The counterpoint sections of the song seem like they'd be lacking without Lenny and Benny's verse. Curious how that's dealt with.
