Does anyone know which of the

Does anyone know which of the children performers are featured on the album?

Good to see an Australian Album!

I wish they would do this for more shows! I have seen a few that are better than the Broadway recordings...

Totally agree!!! why is this

Totally agree!!! why is this do u know?

I wanted to see "I Love to

I wanted to see "I Love to Laugh". Always appealed to me as the best song from the original production. But the politically correct nuff-nuffs edited it out. That's a bit like editing the whale from "Moby Dick", isn't it? Then staging it under the title "Moby Dickless". Where's my medication?

I cant recall it being in the

I cant recall it being in the original production (which I have on dvd), only the movie

What's your take on why I

What's your take on why I love to laugh was taken out? Dont quite understand?

Re: What's your take

Wouldn't it be because the musical is based on the book more than the movie? I would assume that it didn't happen in the book. May be wrong on that though as I never read the book but that is my guess.

guessing here

because the dance around the proscenium trick is more impressive and less difficult than the "five people float around the room, weightless" trick.

But the song "I love to

But the song "I love to laugh" was never in the original production and why is the pro arch walk more politically correct?

I love to laugh...

Both I love to laugh and the dancing penguins were taken out and in there place dancing statues and a trip to mrs corys shop. Both taken from the book. The musical is a fusion of both the books and the movie. Its an amazing show and I cant wait to here the soundtrack.
