Two quick points (and apologies that I’m just discovering this post now):
1) The opening Somewhere Over The Rainbow was prompted by a glorious double-rainbow that appeared surrounding the stage right before the show, after a fierce rainstorm had blown through earlier. (“Look! The storm’s gone!”) It was a stupendous, magnificent moment, entirely unexpected, and filled with grace. What a way to kick off my first tour.
2) I very much doubt that they ever “forgot” to reprise Tweezer. There have been multiple shows where I believe they *chose* not to reprise Tweezer. Ascribing intention to isolated events is always suspect, but I’m not aware of any information which would justify the statement that they “forgot” Tweeprise.
Looking forward to reading the rest of tour! Thanks for doing this!
