* CutSong: The show had two more songs in the Pre-Broadway run in Chicago, a torch song called "Burn Her" (sung by Sir Bedevere) meant to be their version of the witch scene from the film, and a parody of cabaret songs called [[TheSomethingSong "The Cow Song"]] ([[ActingForTwo sung by the Lady of the Lake]]'s actress) Both are notable because, had they not been cut, it would have been the only times the Lady of the Lake doubled as another character (in this case, the Witch and the Cow), which would have left Arthur as the only character not ActingForTwo.
