Worst of all, he rewrites the book. It really feels like he felt he had to rewrite it to earn his screenwriter credit, but his way of rewriting it is to take almost every line and rephrase it a bit, usually adding more words, which makes the script seem wordy, not to mention he kills all the laughs with his rewriting.

I definitely agree there.

I wish we had footage of Blaine's stage version of the Lament to compare to. (Btw - does it seem to anyone else that the Act II reprise should have happened? It seemed like the impulse for the song was there, and then - it wasn't.) Likewise Kaye - I have to imagine that he was a little more scaled-up onstage with "Sit Down?"
