The line I see in the original Broadway script is Arthur saying to Pellinore, "What we did will be remembered. You'll see, Pelly." Those lines are not actually in the script from the first day of rehearsal. He also tells Tom, before he starts the final reprise, "And for as long as you live, you will remember what I, the King, tell you; and you will do as I command."
That's all I see, unless I'm missing something. I didn't go through the whole script. I just looked in the places where I thought such lines might occur.
Of course, there is the first scene in which Arthur comes up with the idea for the Round Table. but he says nothing about the world being round or about hundreds of years in the future.
As for JFK, I don't have the Rich book, but it simply didn't try out in D.C., where Rich grew up. And the tour didn't get to D.C. till 1964. |
