an interesting difference in the two editions is that at the end of the 1986 edition george's "off and running" monologue is reprinted with the note that it was intended to be "delivered by the first-act George" but "was cut in previews." in the 1991 edition this monologue is inserted verbatim immediately following "it's hot up here" in act II and immediately before the rest of the characters' reactions to the news of seurat's death (cf 1986, pg. 140 to 1991, pgs. 130-131.) in a licensed production i saw recently this monologue was definitely not present, nor was it performed at the kennedy center production.
