There were several sections where they address the casting changes, in as positive a manner as possible about difficult topics. Kelli O'Hara describes being asked to sing the title song for the composer and director and how she felt like she was singing a song that belonged to someone else--and that feeling carried over through the whole run of the show, even when she was cast as Clara. They talk about each seeing the show from different angles when they were and were not involved as they eventually were. And they talk about the change in director between Seattle and Chicago. With the exception of naming Lucas as the original director, they stay away from naming names.
The best part of this program was, for me, seeing the extended clips from the original production. They are thrilling. |
