Exactly. She also did the same thing to Irving Berlin--he gave her a new lyric for Call Me Madam that she refused to sing, saying the show was frozen (I think it was very early in the run). It just irritates me. Theater is a collaborative art form, and I don't care how big a star you think you are--especially if you're an actor. That's not how the hierarchy works in theater--the actor is very much under the composer, lyricist and director.
