is up and it's just as ugly as you'd imagine. They used the same photos from that rooftop debacle. YUCK!

It's perfect. It's stupid just like who ever had the idea to cut "Warning."

[BroadwayGuy12]

It's amazing how every piece of information revealed about this production since its initial announcement has made me less and less excited. Especially since it should be the opposite.

[EricMontreal22]

Is this being set back in the early 90s (so they can keep the rave scene--my least fave part of the show--or something)? Because that hipster with the headphones, skateboard and pork pie hat is really off putting...

[uncageg]

I like it. It is the same as what is on the cards. I hope they actually use it at the theater instead of the on that is up now. It is ok but at least this has some color. jmo

[E.Davis]

Wait, I am sorry...They cut "Warning"?

[CJ N2N]

I'm STILL pissed that they cut and changed all the stuff that they did... I'd protest but I'll probably end up seeing it and loving it anyway...

[dramamama611]

Claire is gone, which REALLY bothers me. So does some of the other stuff I've heard about...but am willing to give it a chance.

[E.Davis]

It is such a beautiful song. That sucks that a lot of changes are being made.

[CATSNYrevival]

^They might as well re-title it too since it's not really "Bare" anymore.

[Kad]

It looks like it was pieced together from Instagram photos.

[EricMontreal22]

I've not been following this production--but, wha, they cut Claire??

[CATSNYrevival]

^Pretty lame, huh?

[EricMontreal22]

That's a big chunk of the show--and one of the chunks that, IMHO, worked best. *Bizarre*.

[broadway guy]

I'm really glad they are making these changes.The show is a mess,so hopefully they get this one right! It has so much potential...

[CATSNYrevival]

Pretty sure Peter's not even gay in this version. He's just "experimenting."

[Kad]

They've been trying to "get it right" for over a decade.

[CATSNYrevival]

^Didn't they say the studio recording and licensed version was going to be the "final" version of the show? I wonder what happened...

The studio recording is kind of long and I could do with a little less Romeo and Juliet, but Matt Doyle and James Snyder really make it work.

[uncageg]

Has anyone seen the "trailer" that is being shown in the lobby of New World Stages?

[THDavis]

That video from Broadway on Broadway was very underwhelming too. The notes were sometimes on, but the feeling from the song was completely gone. I don't know, I'm going to see it anyway and I'm just hoping that they'll be able to impress me.

"I'm really glad they are making these changes.The show is a mess,so hopefully they get this one right! It has so much potential..."

While I find the musical oddly appealing, sometimes despite myself, I definitely agree it's a mess. And I guess I should wait to find out what's been done--but the character of Claire was someone who, in the production I saw, *did* work, as did the song Warning. I think it's natural for fans to react negatively when they find out elements that seemed to work are some of the major ones to be cut.

[mjroberts972]

The show hasn't even opened yet. Calm down, please&thxxxxx

"That video from Broadway on Broadway was very underwhelming too. The notes were sometimes on, but the feeling from the song was completely gone."

It was just a performance of the song. It is not like they have rehearsed the show and it is up and running. I was there when they sang it. It was ok but I am sure it will be better.

[CurtainPullDowner]

Your right uncagege, it sounded like they never rehearsed the song, it was god-awful.

[RippedMan]

I think the mother/son relationship was actually really beautiful in the show, and the song was both gorgeous, but contextual really powerful. I'm sad to see that gone from the show.

I think they just messed with the show too much. It seems like they're trying to make it too commercial. Haven't they learned? If they want it to be the next RENT, then don't make it commercial. Kids aren't idiots. We can smell when someone's trying too hard. I'm looking at you Wonderland with your "Iphone" jokes. Oof.

"It was just a performance of the song. It is not like they have rehearsed the show and it is up and running. I was there when they sang it. It was ok but I am sure it will be better."

I agree and I'm sure it will be fine, but as an actor you normally begin thinking about your character before your first time in rehearsal. You can bring something more to the table than that. But like you said, I'm sure it's going to be just fine when it goes up.
