These song lists document any changes that the production went through aside from the opening night song list.
See MoreThe combined number of performances for the two runs — first, at the Lyric Opera House Hammersmith, and then at Saville — has sometimes been given as 186 and sometimes as 187. We have chosen 186 as most sources give the performance total at the Lyric as 84 and the performance total at the Saville as 102, but it may be that the performance total for the Saville run was 103.
The production played a tryout in Liverpool before the opening at the Lyric, and then played another tryout, this time in Brighton, before the reopening at the Saville.
Two roles were added at some point, probably between the closing at the Lyric and the reopening in Brighton. Those were Almeria Goatpath, the librarian, and George Kissington, a poet.
