I was listening to the Actor's Fund Benefit recording of Hair (which by the way, I love) and was astounded by the last note in Initials. What note was that?

Whenever you hear a high sounding note in musical theatre, it's usually a B5! Then again, I know that "I Believe in Love" goes up higher than that, so it's probably higher in "Initials" too. I've never heard the song, so I dunno.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
Laura does indeed go to the high C. On the OBCR (and I would imagine most other recordings/productions) the song ends one octave lower, but of course this is a special recording, and divas being what they are...
