In the past dozen years I've been involved with two unrelated productions of Brigadoon, both in New York. In neither was the verse about the poet cut. One of the productions cut some of the Sword Dance music and some of the Bonnie Jean ballet. The other production performed the score uncut. "The Real Love of My Life" is not "usually" cut (I've seen other productions than those I was involved with). Even though you think it makes no sense, my guess is that Goodman trimmed the song to shorten a quite-long show (and not everyone thinks that this is one of the score's best songs, anyway.). db
