| "Sweet and light" was sung in the last revival in place of "pink and white," which made sense for Joshua Henry. But I don't know if that lyric is official now or not. It's not in the copy of the materials I have (though I last did the show in 2014), nor in the revised published score (which dates back to 2000). Whether it was made official after 2018 I don't know. I do hear Hackmann singing "empty OUT the ballrooms" in the usually cut section, instead of "ALL the barrooms" as it is in the score/script and as Raitt sang it on the OCR. This also goes along with the strange choice to use "hold your head up high" in "You'll Never Walk Alone" on the track already released a few weeks ago. That's the film lyric, of course, not the show lyric. No evidence that I know of that the switch is official in the materials now. maybe at some point we'll find out how these decisions got made. Also - and I've listened to this a number of times now - I think I hear a slight but odd mistake in the orchestra on "round" of the last "boss him or toss him a-ROUND" (3:19 on the youtube clip). I don't think it's a mistake in the parts - someone played a wrong note, and no one caught it. Oops... IMO, Hackmann, just as as a singer, sounds fine vocally, but the performance itself needs more gas. He's just a little too careful, I think. Though I do like his take on "what if he is a girl?" |
