And in terms of the rental materials for Birdie (and in the published score), there are 2 (very different) options for both the overture and the entr'acte - one that would accompany a film sequence (A), and one without (B). The overture on the OBCR/OLCR is what is now "Entr'acte B" in the materials. But, no indication that this could be used as the overture. (Which is odd given that often such materials are based on changes made for the tours.)
Also, the Broadway recording adds some extra "we love you Conrad" vocals at the very end - the melody is played in the orchestra but there's no indication of added vocals at that point in the score. The London version is exactly as is in the score, with no vocals at the end. |
