I was going to say "thanks" until I saw that there was, in fact, an M in a posting labeled NM, and that that M was snarky and piqued.

I don't know if it's you alone or many others, but I am sick of people saying "Look it up yourself!" here. One of the sociological benefits of a chatroom is to create a community where we can ask each other questions. I'd rather hear something from Alan Scott or many of the other classy types who populate this board, rather than a website. (Believe me: if I'd needed the info immediately I would have looked it up.)

But my peeve was that it was such a sloppily-composed article. Either the website or the theatre should be making sure that all the relevant information is in the story!

Can you provide a like to the online article you saw?

Also, of course - and it sounds like you were unaware of this - the show itself has been a work in progress for about 20 years - it has now changed bookwriters and I don't know how much rewriting Finn has done with the music (a few of the original songs have become very well known over time), but although this is billed as a premiere (in terms of it being a completed, fully-staged production), the fact of a Finn musical based on this material is nothing new. Though it sounds like it is to you. ;-)
