| Or, it might just be that Sondheim took another look at the lyric after all these years, thought it might be weaker than it needs to be, and changed it. BTW - the name of the song is "Getting Married Today." :-) |

| Eliza is a figment of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s imagination. Eliza is a mixed race female. Harriet Beecher Stowe was probably a light-skinned or white female. | |

| 100 %. I was purely answering the idea that "slavery" is verbotten in "Woke" theater, not supporting the idea that this was why the change was made. I could have been clearer about that. I have no idea why it was changed, or even if it was changed in the first place, since I haven't listened to the song since I saw the show many months ago. But these "lovable cranks" like to act as if Woke means you can't mention anything unpleasant, as opposed to it being more about context and respect. |
