Thanks for recapping all this. Not sure why I missed the discussion when she was first announced.

Re Rebecca Luker - oh yes! When I saw that production I had only seen the original film and didn't know "My White Knight" even existed. I'll never forget the thrilling feeling in my chest as she knocked that song outta the park in front of the set of her house. Chills when she sang that final "til I die!"

Interestingly, the first section of "My White Knight" was lowered considerably for that Broadway revival of THE MUSIC MAN with the great Rebecca Luker -- obviously NOT because she couldn't sing it in the original key, but apparently under the theory that the final section of the song, which I believe was sung in the original key (or if not, very close to it), would be more effective if it was built up to in that way. Indeed, Luker's "till I die" was thrilling.
