Where was that production? I would be surprised if what was done was approved. Well, now that I've said that, perhaps you might not want to say. Unless it was the Donmar, since that is a matter of public record, even though Sondheim later chose to forget what was done (or pretended to forget).

I would think that Friedman and NYTW will be more or less recreating what was seen in London and Boston, just with a new cast. My sense, which could be wrong, is that Friedman thinks this version works. She does, after all, have some history with it.

It was a long time ago in New Jersey, done by a small company that I think did one or two other shows after and then were never heard from again. No clue if it was licensed or not

Was it the Forum Theatre in Metuchen?
