I do wish that the original Joanne wasn't too old now to play the part (and really, how bad could it have been, considering some of the other actors?), because I really think she would have improved that scene even more. (I did like the way the other main characters *shamelessly* followed them around gawking; it was pretty funny.)

It would be interesting to know, in a universe where the writer didn't drop dead before opening night, how much polishing the music would have received. I continue to cherish the (completely unsupported) idea that "Your Eyes" was a placeholder.
