 (Harlett=A0O'Dowd) <<< SN: "If Ever I
Would Leave You" (CAMELOT) There's that little French piece first.>>>

which is more like an introductory verse. And it's often cut.

SN: Yes, although it was included in last night's broadcast, followed by
the re-slotted (which didn't work) "Before I Gaze at You Again."

re-slotted where (I tremble to ask)?
----------------------------------------
SN: Instead of in its usual slot, very late in Act One, it was done
early in Act 2, between Lancelot's opening and "If Ever I Would Leave
You." If they were trying to create a "bench scene" it didn't work.
Moreover, there was a *very* awkward transition in the first act where
the song used to be.
