Looking quickly, there are some "reprise" in curious places, and at least there are two songs missing from Edinburgh, which are "get a move on" and the one closing the play, "aiming from the stars".

Also Viktor song, ”lonesome star gets lonesome" song is not in the list.

"Game over" which was very nice is not there either.

The stage is also quite different.

I'm so much looking forward to next Saturday!

Four "new" MK songs thrown out is quite a bit disappointing...

Yes, in a way. As Guy says, a musical is always evolving. Maybe they thought that songs didn't work, or maybe those songs are merged with the new reprises, i remember that the Edinburgh shows had a reprise of "filthy dirty rich" inside of "Big Mac", now that reprise is after "cheerio a way ye go", I'm quite curious about all these new arrangements.

I remember reading about "the last ship" by Sting representations a s how it changed from one to the next, and I understood what Guy meant when he says a musical is always evolving.

I also remember that some song titles appeared on iswc-net, like " a wee pint" or "you can't eat scenery" that didn't made on the musical, and also "I hope you haven't changed on me", played during the first previews that gone after the press night...

At least there is one audio recording of Edinburgh with those songs that are missing. If the musical gets released on cd anyday, it would be after London shows, if that happens, and who knows how much songs would be there!

Yesterday evening I compiled the track lists on both programmes from Edinburgh and Chichester.

Looks like some songs with its own title were substituted by reprises, I guess those contain in a way what happened in the songs that are not in the new version, in a way...

That's an interesting table.  It'll be good to get a true comparison between the two versions from someone who is familiar with both.  It's been so long since the Edinburgh run I'm not sure I could remember myself mind!

I’m not sure we’ll see those until after the press night.

Also it seems we won't see any pictures of the actors on their roles on stage after the press night either.
