Just wait until we HAVE the DVD... and can endlessly replay it... and debate the deleted scenes...
Lynn, I actually snuck the Broadway soundtrack into G's car (gotta love the CD changer LOL) and was AMAZED at the difference. They increased the tempo on almost EVERY song (I'm assuming to speed up the movie), but the Broadway soundtrack now sounds like it's DRAGGING to me.
That said, though, I'm amazed at how much Columbus was able to cut from the show and still make it great.
