NOTE:

This is from the first stage production of the show.  It’s interesting to

hear because the lyrics are still in a period of transition (from the

Concept Album to the Premiere American Recording).  I like Elaine

Paige – but why didn’t someone stop her from saying Noovay day

Hooleeoh in “Buenos Aires”? It makes this hispanophile shudder.
