Opening
On the re-release on the Off Broadway Cast on CD, it included a bonus track, an instrumental titled “Opening”. Did this start the show off-broadway?

The music used in the track The Opening on the Off Broadway CD includes some of the music for the song Electric Blues. I have never heard of this being used as a sort of overture off Broadway, but can’t imagine why Galt would call it thatm unless it was used for that purpose at some point. Of course it may have been written, titled and then not used. Maybe Michael or Robert, or someone else here who saw the show off Broadway would know?
The Off Broadway script opens with a character called The Appartion entering with an American flag “like the kind you see at the side of a high school auditorium stage”. Then the two middle aged characters come out and sing “Red, Blue and White” later retitled “Don’t Put It Down”.

Be careful there – she has very selective appointment criteria.
