Not all in one place, but it's basically the libretto as it stood when the national tour closed, except a few tweaks:
- Second verse of Castle on a Cloud has been cut
- Turning has been restored to its full version
- The inn scene in the prologue ("My rooms are full") is back
- The full version of Upon These Stones is back
- The line "everybody stay awake" has been replaced with "Everybody keep the faith, for certain as the eagle flies / we are not alone, the people too must rise"
- The cuts to Come to Me remain, but the rhyme has been fixed ("Come to me, Cosette, the light is dying / don't you hear, the winter wind is crying")
I don't remember any other cut bits that have been restored, though there might be a couple. I'd forgotten half of Upon These Stones was gone until a friend reminded me.
