| It's not indicated in the published script, but it was most definitely intentional on the part of Hal Prince and it was worked out with Boris Aronson, Jean Rosenthal and Ron Field. He believed that when Sally crossed from the "real world" into the "limbo area" (Prince's terms) during the title song, the audience understood. I'm not sure they did, but he felt they did. He wrote about this in Contradictions and I think it's all in Sense of Occasion, and it's been written about in other books. |
