Wayne? Do you know of this script and can you shed some light on this interesting American production?

Salome

Well I would do the same, it's just this one seems almost too good. I really wanna see a script for it. I still like the full Deal song, but other than that this one is almost perfect. (I do find it interesting how Freddie is in Let's Work Together)

Jekkienumber24601

oh I checked again. Walter and Molokov sing no contest...

What a strange arrangement of songs. Freddie and Florence sing "Lullaby"? Yccckkkk. And "Anthem" should always end Act One. Period. Why reinstate mediocre songs like "Embassy Lament" and not reinstate "The Deal," which has some of the best material ever written for musical theatre? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me...

High-baritonne

Does anyone have a plot synopsis from this version? I would like to learn more about this setting!
