as someone deeply invested in the storytelling aspect of musical theatre, learning about how a musical has developed and changed over the years and hearing the demos and old versions is a wild rollercoaster for me personally because on one hand, some script and song changes make me go "OH It is incredibly interesting to see how the playwrights have developed their story over time and these changes show how the musical became more profound with every new draft and how much thought went into this damn this is cool" while other times, other script and song changes go in the opposite direction and make me go "WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY REMOVE SUCH AN IMPORTANT ASPECT TO THE MUSICAL LITERALLY WHY" and yes this post is about ride the fucking cyclone
