Someone may have posted this in the 8 years that this thread has been running, but "The Phantom of the Opera's" concept album (labeled as the "Highlights" album) has different lyrics in several songs than the final versions. In "Think of Me," the concept album had a line that said, "What a change. You're really not a bit, the gawkish girl that once you were." The first few times, I thought the late Steve Barton was singing, "What a change, you're really not a bitch..."
The original "Les Mis" album has a line in "Lovely Ladies" that sounds, when sung in a Cockney accent, like "She's the one so berrare." I could not ever puzzle it out. I finally saw the lyrics, and the line is "She's the one sold her hair."
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.
