Posted: 4/8/12 at 11:16pmThe image of the hands is reprised at least once, if not twice, although I can't think of specifically where at the moment.

Yeah I'm not sure why they took that out because that was one of the projections that I thought made sense to be included in all the videos used throughout the show.
The one that is awkward and needs to be changed is the one with Sam opening his mouth and them repeating that image of him four times on each moving panel on stage.

Wait the hands was used again? Are you sure, because I truly would have noticed. Either that or is passed me by, as I was so used to seeing the green line and Same standing center stage.
What moment did that happen in, kyl3?

Posted: 4/8/12 at 11:25pmI'm positive, I specifically remember noticing it yesterday although now I don't recall what scene it was.

Posted: 4/8/12 at 11:26pmNo I meant that it was used again in the London production. When I saw it on Broadway it was only used during the love making montage like you indicated.

I need to see it again, so many images. Between the projections and the physical stage images, its overwhelming.
I remember so many bits and pieces. Like of Sam's face, but I can't remember where.
I probably just got too used to the london videos...

Posted: 4/8/12 at 11:51pmWith all these new changes being added like the few new songs I need to go see it again as well. Clearly I went too early during the previews. Hopefully I can go back to NYC soon to see Ghost for a third time. Gosh, I think I love this show as much as you love Spider-Man. :)

Posted: 4/9/12 at 12:54amSeeing it Tuesday as well with my family. My little brother isn't a big fan of musicals ,so hoping for the best. Love the London cast album! (Excluding "More" and "Ball of Wax")

Also, does Molly sing in the new song that replaced Carl's "Life Turns On A Dime"?
In London Molly sings a bit in "Life Turns On A Dime" and it was one of my favorite verses that Molly sings in the show. I was sad they took it out in the Broadway version...

Posted: 4/9/12 at 3:24pmNo, Molly's part in the new song is the same as it's always been in "Life Turns On A Dime" on Broadway. I wish they had kept that other part in as well.

Posted: 4/9/12 at 6:55pmIt is not listed in the program so there seems to be no official title. But I guess it could be "Here Right Now" (Reprise)"

On the subject of needed changes, here are my two cents:
I have no problem (ahem) suspending my disbelief about there being ghosts, a psychic who can speak to them, etc., and I very much enjoyed the effects when I saw it this past weekend. What jumped out at me though, was the projection during 'Nothing Stops Another Day'. They establish early on that the apartment is in Brooklyn, and during that song, they show the view from the window, which has the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline behind it, i.e. clearly facing west from a Brooklyn apartment. She then sings about the sun coming up, and they show a projection of a sunrise over that westward-facing scene. I realize that is not the most important artistic change to make in any given musical, but it was irksome enough to notice and write about it here. It didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the show or anything, but just thought I would lobby for my preferred change.
Agree about the suggestion to drop the "I didn't do it" shouting from the subway rap.
And may I say - I was very happy listening to Mr. Fleeshman's singing throughout - that is one lovely and powerful voice!
Davine was on for Oda Mae, but my attention kept going to Moya as one of the sisters - her acting in the background was hilarious during "Are you a believer".

Posted: 4/10/12 at 8:38pmOne minor inconsistency that I noticed and bugged me was that the first time Oda Mae comes to Molly's apartment, she gets buzzed up to the apartment, but then when Oda Mae comes back to re-convince Molly, she somehow already got in the building and bangs on the door. Just a continuity issue that bugged me.

I saw GHOST this past weekend and loved it. Will be going as often as I can. I was hooked from the beginning. The overture and video sequence of flying over Manhattan was enough for us to look at each other with dropped jaws. We set row A of the Mez center... which made it feel like we were literally flying. Great seats.. I recommend those seats for anyone who is looking and has the option.
My only negative was that some of the dance sequences did not make much sense. I understand the shouting of the subway guy, since the guy in the movie was just as "shouty".

Posted: 4/11/12 at 11:44pmIt is possible that Sam could have buzzed her in as by that point Sam has learnt to move things!

Posted: 4/12/12 at 4:39pmHas anybody tried sitting in the rear orchestra section for this show? And if so, does the mezzanine overhang obstruct any part of the show??

Does this mean the suitcases are gone?

The suitcases were there Tuesday night.
I've love to hear a detailed discussion of the score. Anyone have strong thoughts pro or con? For me, when it works, it's exciting and immediate. But the lyrics often get lost in performance (even on the recording, at least YouTube), and the songs lack "buttons" at serious turns.
Just found the score thread. Sorry. Will take my thoughts there.
