Why is it that on the OBCR she says "I saved a chair for my dad, in the fourth row on the aisle," but when I saw the show she said the 8th row?

Off-Broadway, Olive said "4th Row." I guess they either recorded the CD while still Off-Broadway, recorded it while transfering, or just directly copied the Off-Broadway lyrics and forgot to change it.

wtf? Because of a lyrical inconsistancy? Am I not picking up on the sarcasm?

Because shows NEVER change lyrics after the cast recording is made!

Or change lyrics only for the cast album (witness "Where Did We Go Right" on The Producers OCR).

Or create brand new things just for the album...like DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS...

That's the only inconsistency that you've noticed from the cast album to the show?

On the alblum they're's a ton of different things, like words to be spelled and stuff. Also when Marcy sings I Speak Six Language's, on the alblum there's a line that says and whatever I do I do without getting sore, but in the show she says and whenever I strech without getting sore. I couldn't care less about lyric inconsistancy.

Should we just keep these coming?...
In "Woe is Me", the cd goes "God Hates Losers." "But he loves you." and in the show, Dan says, "But we love you."
