| I know I'm mysteriously in the minority here but I hated her amateur and poorly acted production. It's bad enough we have to have this soap opera version of the script, at least do a production directed by someone who can do it well. I am still baffled at what people were raving about with Friedman's production. I haven't seen the Fiasco production, but I pray it does a better job. Merrily used to be a favorite of mine but this new version is really quite notably worse writing and storytelling all around, in my opinion, and it's a real shame it's the one that's allowed to be produced. But again, I'm glad it's not Friedman's production. Michael Arden's production was also better (I also had some issues with that one but would have been better to transfer than Friedman'). | |

| Absolutely. I also found her production to be amateur and poorly acted. I saw it as an HD broadcast and left at intermission and I was not the only one voting with his feet. | |

| In the Roundabout version that is upcoming, how do they handle the detail of the movie producer's wife throwing some liquid in the starlet's eyes. Is it mercuricrome, iodine, or? I understand that this detail originated in the film or the original play (no music), but only appears in some of the revision s of "Merrily." This heavy-handed detail is too gross and throws the whole evening off, in my opinion. | |

| It's iodine in the original play, and last I know of, that's what was in the current licensed script for the musical. Was it perhaps cut at Encores? I can't remember. Anyway, I would imagine it will be in the Fiasco-Roundabout production, but we'll find out. | |

| They did cut the iodine throwing from the Encores script, but I believe it's been in every other major production. | |
