There is a very good reason for that to be in the grid! It's, as @Cap'n Rick would say, an easter egg!

Oh! I get it!

Still weirdly worded as Billie Burke originated the role....

I was relying on my general knowledge. Apologies to all musical fans out there!

Moat crossed! L of a puzzle! Thanks Ben!

After a slight misstep (but one with a perfectly logical reason) I crossed the MOAT. I had an L of a time, but agree once you catch on it is probably a level 1. Thanks for the puzzle Ben

That's 26 to get us started.

All I see are *s.

Took a nudge that I already knew but had applied incorrectly. Clever puzzle and metanism, Ben! Wish I had gotten it nudgelessly but sometimes you just don’t see the thing. Like the MEOW

Moat crossed. Sadly, considering this is one of my granddaughter’s names, I needed help. Clever twist at the end.

Finally plowed through those front doors --

Tasty!

A solver update for you!

That brings us up to 31. Nudges in the (Aussie) morning!

Castle Stormed....was a bit stuck for a bit, but plowed through.

Fun one, Thanks Ben.

One additional solver bringing us to 32:

Nudges, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. Your only clue is the puzzle title. But you might have to think phonetically!

2. The five clues with leading asterisks have alternate answers.

3. The alternate answers all start with EL.

4. You might have to take those ELs away, only to bring one back again, in your journey to the final answer.

Needed a castle guard to pull me out of the moat and into the castle. Hopefully the alligator bites will heal by next week.

Nudged across the moat. That was an L of a puzzle, Ben. Thanks!

That brings us up to 38. Next (and last) update before the answer reveal Monday morning...

Nudged across the moat. Thanks, Ben!

Took all the nudges and a ton of googling, but I've been hauled across the moat.

Moat crossed with nudges. Forgot to look for them yesterday.

Needed two nudges, but probably should've only needed one (if any) in retrospect. Got across the MOAT just in time!
