Not a problem. Just wanted to clarify. For whatever it's worth, in the original production "An Ordinary Couple" was apparently staged rather interestingly, at least according to the notes that the R and H Org sends to companies performing the show. For "Ordinary Couple," those notes read: "'An Ordinary Couple' presents the problem of the love affair culminating after the song, though it is understood that they will get together before it begins. Never having been romantically involved with a man before, Maria shows a bit of embarrassment and awkwardness during the song. This is eliminated at the end with a kiss. In this way we keep a dramatic tension alive during the song. While the song is in progress, have the Captain gently romance Maria until she accepts his embraces warmly." This makes a lot of sense with the dialogue that leads into the song.
