| I think it would take approval from the Furth estate. When they did the reunion concert in 2002, Ann Morrison said they wanted to used the original book, but Furth wouldn't allow that (which pissed more than a few people off). Sondheim was OK using the original score--as he was with the Fiasco production. Since the songs wouldn't make sense with the new book, they went with narration. Cast members I think are mixed on what is the best version. But David Loud, Lonny, Ann and Jim Walton like it best. I am not sure about the rest. For me, the original cast album is the best. |
