I just got back from seeing it a second time, lol...
I was a little bummed about the 'going against the grain' move too.

And I wish Adam would have been there too. Rosario and Idina weren't there either.
You didn't like Will Chase, who played Roger? I thought he was awesome! I was sort of on the fence during the first act, but his One Song Glory blew me away. It was so amazing, I'm tearing up just thinking about it... And his voice is unbelievable. He's definitely one of my favorite Rogers, next to Adam, of course.
I can't wait for the DVD!
