 Another Op’nin’ Another Show: Throughout, “an-oth-er” is pronounced as “a-nuh-ther” and don’t chew on the ‘r’ at the end. Where it is held out, don’t close on the ‘r’ until cutoff. Page 13, Measures 135 through 140, baritones take middle note with all tenors on top note.

Water Is Wide: Page 3, Measure 21, through Page 4, Measure 30, more volume from baritones.

Don’t Be Cruel: Page 6, Measure 5, baritones sing mf while others sing mp. Page 7, Measure 44, ‘cruel’ is short so don’t hold on to it. Same at Page 10, Measure 62, and Page 11, Measure 72. Page 11, Measure 74, softer. Page 12, Measure 79, louder.
