Miss Saigon-Her or Me OR Now That I've Seen Her — Page 2

To make things a little clearer, there were 6 different versions/songs for Ellen.

1. What if he doesn't come back home tonight
2. Who says it hurts
3. Her or me
4. Now that I've seen her (With the lyrics "there are days when your life clouds over, and the world gets so dark, etc)
5. Now that I've seen her (with new lyrics, "It's all right when I just imagine, there's no face, she's not real, etc)
6. Maybe

"Now That I've Seen Her" was replaced by the song "Maybe", which presents a more hopeful and likeable yet (personally) unrealistic Ellen. I still prefer the original "Her or Me" since I think Ellen would have felt that way immediately after seeing that Kim was a real live woman. After the years the song "Now That I've Seen Her" has grown on me but I'll admit I haven't been keeping up with this show the past 10 years and was surprised with the song "Maybe""

Is the line "And I think it was better when I didn't know" still in the song in the Broadway revival?
