I was there. I will try to post about it in detail later today or tomorrow. I had a very good time, but people who love the original show may be very unhappy with all the cuts.

Basically, they've turned an epic story written in an epic (or at least semi-epic) style into an intimate story, albeit one that takes place over a long period of time and in which world events figure.

The story is now told in flashback. The running time was 95 minutes. Anyway, I don't have time now to write all that I might want to say about it.

A song list can be found at the link. There wasn't one in the one-page handout, but I put one together, guessing at the title of the new song. I'm fairly confident that title is correct. The other two titles that may not be familiar were cut from the original.
