Re: 8 minutes 12 seconds: ORIGINAL: MARY: "I don't drink. I'm an obsessive personality--too coffee, too much cigarettes, too much food...." CHARLEY: "....Too much Frank. JOE "Is Frank the only one in the world who doesn't know you're in love with him?" (Joe asks Mary in the Original) So how many people know about those two? [Gussie and Frank]" CHARLEY: "There must be one or two who don't." Also, I was with Steve during previews while he was on the phone with Furth and Steve said [about the second act Not A Day Goes By] "I'm not so sure we need so much of Mary in the song; if we care so much about her at that point." I yelled out: "WHAT!? That's the WHOLE point-- that she's showing been in love with him the entire time!" Steve said to George (who didn't have a clue who I was then): "My friend Ron here says we need to keep Mary in that number to stress the relationship." George strongly agreed and Steve also thought better of it.... November 7, 1981. Always nice to have time prove: you were right.

it's quite the thing to hear Jonathan Groff call himself out for watching too much youtube whilst currently being down a Jonathan Groff youtube rabbit-hole 😅
