| The version that opened on Broadway in 1968 was never published or licensed. My understanding is that the published script was an amalgam of the original Off-Broadway version, the Broadway version (possibly including revisions made during the run before the publication in 1969) and material that may never have been performed onstage during the run. While the description of Sheila is surely correct, and it may be that those lines were spoken in 1968, unless someone has a stage manager's script or some other archival evidence, I don't know that there's a way to be sure that those specific lines were spoken in 1968. | |

| Another way would be to check the recollection of someone who was in that production. In normal times, that would be easy enough. | |

| The "second semester/protester" line is sung, not spoken - but I can't be sure if it was in there in '68 or not. If that's even what you were referring to, lol. | |

| Yes, that's what I was referring to, but somehow I was stupidly missing that it's sung, although it's really pretty clear that it's sung. I imagine it was there in 1968 but it's hard to be sure. | |

| Going further down the rabbit hole, the song “Sheila Franklin” rolls right into “I Believe in Love” if I remember correctly. On the more recent releases of the OBC, Melba Moore sings “I Believe in Love,” and I could have sworn it was Sheila’s song. Is this because a) Dionne (played by MM) originally sang the song or b) because the song was recorded later when Moore took over the role of Sheila? The latter is what happened with the OLC album and the subsequent addendum of Fresh Hair later in 1970. | |
