Unless The Notebookis allowing her out of the show the week following her debut, Anna Zavelson is probably going to have to dropout of this.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

How about Greta Lee? She has played the role before and mentioned on the red carpet she was returning to the stage soon but that it was the first time she was saying anything about it.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. Thanks!"
I've always interpreted this as meaning emotional neglect/resentment. I think if it was intended to imply physical violence or sexual abuse, that would be made more clear elsewhere in the material, because that's a very heavy topic to introduce into a generally uplifting/light-hearted show in a passive/ambiguous way. But I guess it's up for interpretation. I wasn't aware that this lyric had been "debated heavily."

I'm of the same opinion. I don't think the idea that Olive's father is outright abusive is supported textually at all. Absent or distant, emotionally neglectful, frustrated, sure.

Did I just see Beanie Feldstein in some gross Lesbian horror film on Netflix? It was very R rated, at least at the beginning, and that was as far as I got. I

Crazy that my post telling them to get a hobby and stop being weird gets deleted while people here just get to take cheap shots at Beanie for the crime of taking a role she was bad at on Broadway like 3 years ago and they can't let it go...
Finn's done significant rewrites on his other shows for their major revivals (the Broadway revival of Falsettos and the Encores revival of A New Brain). Do you think he'll do any for Spelling Bee?

I don’t recall the Falsettos revival having significant rewrites? From what I remember, it was very close to the original Broadway version. However, the original Broadway production was never recorded and it did have a lot of differences from the original off-Broadway versions of March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland, and those were the only formally recorded versions of the score until the revival.
I hope Finn doesn’t make changes. The changes implemented by he and Lapine for A New Brain were sideways moves at best.

If anything, I wish William Finn & Michael Starobin had taken a new pass at the orchestrations for the FALSETTOS revival (even if it didn't involve adding musicians). The sound of that show is so 90s.
