As others have pointed out, having General Cartwright take over "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" with a roof-raising solo is not in the original conception of the show. And aside from the fact that having her do that arguably steals Nicely-Nicely's thunder, it also strikes me as making the number feel too similar to "Brotherhood of Man" in that other, later show by Loesser.
