| Was the song Storybook in the show? I saw v2 on Broadway where they had moved the song to be the opening number. I never saw v1 or v3, but did see a community production where it seemed the melody had been moved back to somewhere in act II, but with completely different lyrics. I was really disappointed in that version because it's my favorite song in the show! Thanks. | |

| “Storybook” was in the show at the beginning of Act 1 and reprised in Act 2, but “I’ll Forget You” was not in the show. And there was either a reprisal of “The Riddle” (as a solo for Marguerite) or a new song with the same melody. There was also a new duet at the end of the show for Percy and Marguerite before the curtain call. | |

| I've always loved ''Storybook'' from Wildhorn and Knighton's glorious score to ''The Scarlet Pimpernel,'' and I first heard Tom Andersen sing it. Tom says many years ago, he wrote to Wildhorn, soliciting new material for his cabaret act, and Wildhorn suggested ''Storybook.'' This would've been in the early-'90s - years before ''The Scarlet Pimpernel'' opened on Broadway. It became such a signature song for Tom that other singers, like David Campbell, started to sing it in NYC, too. Knighton was blown away when she saw Tom perform it at Eighty Eight's. Asked if she might supply a quote for his press kit, Knighton penned a full-page essay about why everyone needed to hear Tom sing ''Storybook.'' That was so generous & classy! |
