I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what lines Neil Simon wrote for A Chorus Line?

Most of Sheila's jokes were by him, IIRC.

And the fact that Cassie makes it in the end is owed to his then wife Marsha Mason.

Neil also wrote the "to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant" line.

I think Yankee implies they are divorced by writing "then wife"

theaterdude87, If you look at the edit time, the "then" was added after my post. It's not a big deal and was not trying to take Yankeefan007 to task for actually knowing the information.
