Oop she’s wrong about the lyrics too
“Three long years” are the original lyrics, that implied the show was taking place in the 1870s
“Passing bells” replaced it.
The restaged used “three long years”
Broadway used “passing” for the entire run. London swapped around 2002 and continues to use “passing”. Italy uses “passing”. To say that if you go and see the show now, you’ll hear “three long years” is not correct.
Shouldn’t a phantom “expert AND historian” know the history and what’s currently going on with the show?
#it’s really frustrating to watch an expert shamelessly spout nonsense because doing real research is for losers I guess#it’s not exactly hard to find a boot that’ll tell you what lyrics are being used#or you could ask someone like Glassprism who actually knows these things
