> So, what are we thinking based on what's been released?
So far so good, from the various clips that have been posted (without the script it's hard to put anything into context).
Cast look and sound great, especially Andrew Polec.
I hope Jim is involved as much as he wants/needs to be (I imagine Barry Keating is his 'on site' eyes and ears).
Slight concern in that I'm not hearing any lyric tweaks. I know Jim wrote most/all of the songs with Neverland (Bat) in mind, but would suggest that the script has evolved a lot since the songs were written, and that without lyrical tweaks, they may sound 'shoe horned to fit'?
The changes to Revved Up/Wasted Youth seem to work great, and I think other songs will need amendments as well.
In my mind, Deadringer For Love doesn't fit in the world of Neverland, but hopefully it will work?
I've always heard BODY as a solo piece, sung alone and late at night, so not sure as a duet, but let's see.
Not sold on the 'ground breaking' choreography (yet) and some of it looks silly, but keeping the faith.
The 'Falco Square' staging looks immense!!
There are other songs I wish were in the show (Surf's Up, Frying Pan, Lost Boys, Faster Than The Speed Of Night) but hey ho.
