>> The dialogue in the middle of Good Morning Starshine on the Off Broadway
>> recording is a condensation of several slightly longer sections of dialogue
>> in the middle of the song in the off Broadway script. It is Jill O'Hara
>> (Sheila) who says the lines "Look at the Moon, look at the moon, look at the
>> moon!" although that line does not appear in the script exactly like that.
>> In the script there are several dialogue sections at the end of which Sheila
>> sings "Look at the moom"  7 times before going back into "Good morning
>> Starshine..." (the first verse again) rather than as on the recording, where
>> she says the lines about the moon, and then sings "Singing a song..." etc.
