| ***And a lot of it reconceived/newly written for the concert. Including that whole weird last monologue by Weissman involving the reprise of "Beautiful Girls."*** Yes, thanks. I hadn't mentioned that new section, which I hate like poison. Presumably done under some terribly misguided notion that the concert needed to finish with a more substantial musical ending than the deeply sad and moving (and absolutely perfect) "Hi....girls....Ben.....Sally?" |

| The worst thing is that I know of at least one director that tacked that ending onto a full production of the show. Or, should I say an overstuffed production which included a number of the cut songs. Dreadful. | |

| I don't know. This was a community theatre production back in 1991 - I can't even remember the director's name. (I was the pianist in the pit, coming in at the last minute to fill in.) | |
