Although I love the tour production, I still prefer Both Sides Now to True Colours. A more unusual and distinctive song in my view. I also think it is a bit of a shame that they lost I've Never Been to Me - a lovely song and also one that was featured in the film - given any choice though, it would be bringing back BSN.
Despite the above, I'd love it if they would release a cast recording. Neither the broadway or Australian soundtracks do the new show justice. Graham Weaver's Confide In Me deserves to be released! Sadly, I doubt a cast cd will appear, though there seems to be demand. The Australian one is going for comparatively high prices on eBay and Amazon.
Finally, while I'm on a roll, although they've introduced some good new dialogue, and have trimmed here and there to fit the new format, there are a few lines that were in the London production that have been cut for no obvious reason - "Who wants to see my map of Tasmania?" for example.
