1) When, in the title song, Arthur sings "those are the legal laws".....what are we to make of that? Is it conceivable that Lerner didn't realize what a glaring redundancy that is? The only other explanation would be that Arthur is trying to be clever and humorous with an intentional redundancy, but I for one don't find it clever or humorous.
2) Why do we suppose that Lerner changed the compelling lyrics "Oh, they found Guenevere with her bold cavalier..." to the prosaic, dull "Out the room, down the hall, through the yard, to the wall....?" |
