Its the way it goes with musicals sometimes i guess.
Look at Love never dies.
It didnt get that good reviews in london so they reworked it before they brought it here to australia.
And its much better for it i think.
The stage sets are much nicer than the UK version.
The show live was fantastic.The guitars during The Beauty Underneath are not really captured that well on the bluray whereas in the theatre they get into your chest.
The Kenwright version of WDTW has some changes in it.
According to one of my lists it seems i have a dvd of his US tour of WDTW,but damned if i can find it
