| The original spoken section of "Loveland" doesn't spell out love. In fact, there are six spoken bits in that version as opposed to four spoken bits in the later version. The original was written specifically to show off costumes, with six showgirls coming down in elaborate costumes representing the theme of each couplet, whereas the later version needs only four showgirls, each carrying a letter. So productions opt for the later one (and probably don't always use showgirls for each). |
