I heard he puts a seatbelt on and then slides across the wall.

I also heard I lied.

Well, my problem is more a how-on-earth-is-that-thing-attached thing. So a seatbelt wouldn't help much.

thanks 407 and penjy for reporting!!! it's cool to hear how a new cast reacts to the show, and to hear how they differed from bway since i think you've both seen it in NY, yes?

the changes sound good, but i'm happiest to hear that the emotion is escalated enough in the beating scene.  i feel like to justify the rest of the play the audience has to understand that the beating scene is out of control, and that both of their emotions escalate to a point where the beating itself is justified (hunter and socha usually failed at this...)

i really hope it transfers!!! as of now i arrive in london three days too late!

407 and Penjy, was this what melchior sings in whispering? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8aispZMBk0&feature=PlayList&p=CDD2F5B5CC79F245&index=16

cause that was the masked man in the 2001 workshop, and that would be interesting for them to do it that way

Not really  Huh, it was much more like Anna's original Touch Me reprise that I'm sure was interspersed off-Broadway with those scenes (or have I lost my mind entirely?)

It's not really - Melchior doesn't actually sing with Wendla at any point, I don't think - it's almost like a call and response type thing.
I've just refreshed my memory of Anna's original Touch Me reprise and I think penjy's right. It was a little like that.

Also, Melchior does stand up on the chair during TF, but he has a little hand strap to hold onto while he does it. Don't know how secure he is in that chair while it's moving though.

New lines for the girls? Where was that?

And if I wanted a throwback to the Anna Touch Me reprise, I would want it to be sung by... Anna!

They have a couple of tiny new moments in the pre-MJ scene, plus new lines where they are reading Ilse's letter/talking about Wendla's death. I think that's it...

They're not, they're just nice little extra bits (much like the boys blowing the chalk off of their boards before handing them in after BOL). The boys also do this thing where, in the 'I Passed!' scene, they all simultaneously look from Melchior to Moritz, back to Melchior again, as if they're watching a tennis match. It's cute.

This review was great! I really hope I get to see the London production (alas, that's unlikely), but I'll just have more reviews and a cast recording to look forward to!

There aren't any posters for sale in London. We've got badges, wristbands and what I believe is a shorter version of the 'In the Flesh' book, but that's it! (Well, that's all there was on sale at the Lyric, at any rate.)
