Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:34amWhat does Sara sing instead of "I've got no Tony Award" ??
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:35amSara's been out, I think. She wasn't on for today's matinee, though I'm not sure about this evening.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 1:27amI was at the first performance follwing the Tony's, Tuesday night, and Sara was out. It was my first time seeing it so I don't know if anything was different but it sounds unlikely since Sara wasn't there.

She was back in last night--and she was brilliant!
I posted her new lyric here:

SPOILER BELOW
Quoting jrb_actor, the new lyric is:
"And my Tony Award won't keep me out of Betty Ford."
I seriously love that woman. I wonder if she thought of that one herself.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 12:54pmWow, thats a great lyric change. Further reason for me to be a spamaphile.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 1:04pmDidn't an earlier version of the lyric mention Betty Fords?

even darlene wilson sings "with all our tony awards im still in and out of betty fords" so i assume eric idle changed the lyrics. in a post interview sara said that eric would probably change the lyric cause he's all about current events.
did u realize that sara thanked her in her acceptance speech...

btw, is darlene a standby or is she actually in the ensemble?
how does the ensemble work, do they rotate roles? because i know i saw different people in the show this week than when i went last time.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:39pmDid she get a huge ovation during her bow? I guess you can't compare it to before she won the Tony if this is your first time seeing it, but I'm curious if the crowd was more appreciative now.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 4:50pmDarlene is the standby, I believe.

Posted: 6/9/05 at 6:04pmI would love to see the show now, but I'm too far away. I can say this tho...I haven't been able to get "Find Your Grail" out of my head since their performance! It's quite a catchy tune.
