Two updates:
I have now found a printed (not published) version of the score that changes the entire sequence of "I Don't Need Anything"/"Annie" as I knew it to be when I did the show (putting "Annie" as its own song first, instead of in the middle of "I Don't Need Anything" as it was in the version I did) - which includes the "We Got Annie" lyrics and gets rid of the silly "cheese / Camemberts and bries" stuff in favor of the "Goodman's a king" bridge, just as hear on the 2012 recording. But I have no idea when that score came into being, and if that was available when SRMHAYES did the show, I wonder why we didn't get that version either time I did it.
Going back to look at that manuscript score, the melody of "We Got Annie" is in the orchestration as a countermelody, but not sung. But the arrangement is the one that matches the original published score, not the one I just mentioned above, which I had figured was done for the 2012 revival, but maybe not?
Seems that there are a number of versions of this sequence, in any case. Strange. |
