During the tryouts in [[Detroit]], [[Gower Champion]] invited [[Charles Strouse]] and [[Lee Adams]] to consult on improvements to the musical. [[David Merrick]] was aware of their involvement, but Jerry Herman was not, even though Strouse was under the impression that Herman knew about it. Strouse and Adams suggested re-working the ending of Act I, wrote a new song "Before the Parade Passes By" and sent it to Champion. By the time the next set of tryouts in Washington began, a different number with the same name, written by Herman, was included in the show. After Strouse and Adams threatened to sue the production, they were given a songwriting credit for the song. That conflict led to an eight-year-long feud between Champion and Michael Stewart on one side and Strouse and Adams on the other.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Richard Skipper|url=http://richardskipper.blogspot.com/2013/03/charles-strouse-on-his-involvement-with.html|title=Charles Strouse on his Involvement with Hello, Dolly!|date=1 March 2013}}</ref> The official songwriting credits as listed with [[ASCAP]] have Adams, Herman and Strouse as co-writers.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[ASCAP]]|url=https://www.ascap.com/repertory#ace/search/workID/320126047|title=Before the Parade Passes By songwriter listing|access-date=4 March 2020}}</ref><br /> <nowiki>***</nowiki>Song replaced "Come and Be My Butterfly" during Broadway Run. ^Horace Vandergelder's solo "Penny in My Pocket", although it received rave responses out of town, was cut prior to the Broadway opening for reasons of time. For the 2017 Broadway Revival, it was added back in as the opening of Act Two in front of the curtain. It is not, however, included in the licensed version for stock and amateur productions from Tams Witmark. The song "Elegance", though credited to Herman, was written by [[Bob Merrill]] for the 1957 show ''[[New Girl in Town]]'' but deleted from the original production.<ref>Suskin, ''Show Tunes'', p. 263</ref>
