Any word yet on last night?

And a slight thread jack...
Any word on the two rows they added in front of the orchestra section? (AX and BX I believe). Are they crammed? Do they make row A (shoulda been the front row) cramped?!?

To those who have seen Helena or Neville as the murderer, which version of their confessions does this production use: the original ones based on "No Good Can Come From Bad" or the later ones based on "A British Subject"?

Unfortunately, they use the revised murderer confessions that use "A British Subject" as its basis. Although I feel they've finally made Ceylon/British Subject work (to the best of its ability) I've always preferred the use of "No Good Can Come from Bad" in the murderer's confession.

I actually have very few quibbles about this production (it's pretty GD stellar all around!) but I do really wish they'd include that terrific trumpet-heralding vamp at the top of There You Are. As it is right now, there's the orchestra cue (trumpet sting), one bar of the vamp (no trumpet fanfare) and Jim Norton goes right into it. The build of the Chairman's reveal in the original (you can see it on the Tony's truncated version of the number) was thrilling in the theatre. The rest of There You Are in this production is really wonderful but I think they could afford to build that opening so there's real fanfare for Cartwright. Come on Paul, don't tell me there won't be trumpets in the intro! :)

I can't wait to see this show! My excitement for this show has actually got me posting on this board again. For those who have seen the show, how does the combination of "Ceylon" and "British Subject" work? Does the song start off as Ceylon to a certain point, and finish off as British Subject? Very curious to see how they have re-written this. I have always preferred "A British Subject" to "Ceylon" myself.

Also, for the confessions of Helena, Crisparkle, and Neville, are the three still reprising "A British Subject" within them?

The first part of the revised song begins with Ceylon, then after Drood's verse ("It's all very well for you, etc.") Drood and Neville have a brief dialogue over music, which segues into "A British Subject"

How many of the murderer's confessions got revised/are different from the OBC? I saw Durdles as the Murderer, who was of course not even a member of the original line up of murderers? God, I would love to see a revised script of this show. If anyone's got it, PM me.


I too, REALLY missed the intro to "There you are", especially because at the performance I saw Norton got behind the beat for pretty much his whole first verse. A minor kerfuffle but It was not a particularly auspicious start.

Well, per the revised script licensed for amateur and regional productions, it is based on the changes made for the Original London production.

Crisparkle, Helena, and Neville's confessions had been changed to include a reprise of "A British Subject", which in my opinion, is a welcome change, because it can be quite monotonous to have most of the suspects singing the same reprise of "No Good Can Come From Bad".

Durdles was given a confession during the rewrites.

Rosa, Bazzard, and Puffer's confessions are pretty much what you have heard on the OBC recording with all the multiple endings.

"The Name of Love/Moonfall" has been moved to Act II, where as in the OBC, it was the Act I finale. (I prefer the latter.)

"A British Subject" replaced "Ceylon".

That's all of the changes that I can think of, off the top of my head.

Thanks for the info!

Cheers,
The Balladeer

Went onto Youtube and found a couple of amatuer renditions of the various confessions, and I think I like the revisals. In each case, the character is now singing his own music instead of "A Man could go quite Mad" and also singing about Murderering Drood instead of attempting to Murder Jaspar, which is also a change for the better. God, I wish I could go back and see this again.

Rosa was the murderer again tonight, according to Twitter.

I understand wanting Betsy Wolfe to sing more, but I don't understand Betsy Wolfe being declared "genius".

Wed 10/24, 8pm

Datchery: Helena
Murderer: Rosa
Lovers: Puffer & Crisparkle (They actually couldn't decide if Crisparkle, Bazzard or Durdles got more applause - it was pretty much equal - so Norton asked a woman in the front row who she thought it should be)

Rosa got about 180 votes for murderer. Crisparkle and Bazzard were tied for second with 147, followed by Puffer with 100ish.

I was there tonight. Helena won with 188 votes, just over Rosa with 182. Puffer and Neville were next in line.

Order of murderer candidates:
1: Jasper
2: Crisparkle
3: Helena
4: Rosa
5: Neville
6: Puffer
7: Durdles

They did a re-vote for the lovers after a "three-way" with Deputy, Neville, and Durdles. Andy Karl proceeded to strip items of clothing and seduce the audience.

I was there tonight also. Really wanted the kid to win the 3 way tie for the lover.

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 10/26/12 at 1:47am

Me too! But anyone with Puffer is a win-win-win situation in my book. Just so absurd!

SH*T...there was a bunch of us there last night. And I think I saw our own Michael Bennett, but I got a little shy and didn't say 'hello'.

I voted for Rosa as the murderess and the ginge to pair up with Chita.
