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." :-) |
