| I saw Ethel Merman in Gypsy when I was 16 years old. One could not fire Merman in preparation for the musical in 1959. Who could have replaced her? | |

| I don't think anyone was. :-) The story of that unused verse to "Some People" is, I think, recounted in Zadan's "Sondheim & Co" if I recall correctly. He sought legal advice after she refused to learn the verse, and he was told the story about Merman refusing new lyrics in Call Me Madam, where she (in)famously said, "Call me Miss Bird's Eye - this show is frozen." :-) |
