>>And I tuned in too late to hear that marvelous train number, which I think may be the most innovative thing that composer ever did<<
Ooh, that was something that annoyed me when I saw it. I think the opening train number is just brilliant - one of the most innovative, interesting opening numbers in the history of the musical. And one of the things that makes it so brilliant is that it's unaccompanied. It really takes a great sense of rhythm and tempo for the people doing it. AND THEY ADDED ACCOMPANIMENT!!!!!!! They couldn't just trust the material. Made me crazy.
