The cast recording is one semitone lower. Yenta's interlude isn't in the sheet music at all, so I had to wing it. It's not actually in the same key as the recording, or what the sheet music would have been - it's a full tone below the recording, three semitones below the sheet. Apologies to people who know this from having performed it on stage.]
