This musical has more backstory to it than my life

Wow, where'd you find this?

Thanks for your comment. The audio was featured on Anaïs's page on MySpace back in 2007. This video was posted on KZbin with her permission.

Hm. wonder how this compares to the 20078 vermont production?

[@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945]

god it's like every rewrite it lost more and more of it's soul until it's just a sterile, bland product

[@Hamilgoth2002]

Wrong, incorrect, bad opinion sorry

[@moist_spinach]

I see what you mean, but I still seriously disagree that it's losing it's soul. Not a good take, imo

[@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945]

@@Hamilgoth2002 dude the Broadway version is by far the worst version

[@meh62]

have you actually seen the staged version? :0

[@moist_spinach]

@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 you can say the Broadway version is the worst in your opinion, that's fine. but insisting that the Broadway version has NO soul and is a bland product?? I have to disagree with you. I don't like some changes, but I like others, and I love the simplicity of this demo version. However, the Broadway version still has soul and touched me deeply (it was my introduction to the musical, but it doesn't change the fact that it was still brilliant to me)
