It is my understanding that the changes in the two venues were mainly in tightening up the play so that it ran a bit shorter through the elimination of a character or two and a scene or two. This may have caused the shortening of a song or two - I do not know for sure. However, it is my understanding that the music is basically the same for both shows.
I would welcome the knowledge of anyone who actually saw both shows.
However, regardless of that, my point is that the music failed in its main goal of supporting the play and adding to it. Davem said that he "did'nt get it" on first listen. A first listen is what the vast majority of playgoers have. If they also "don't get it" then the music has badly failed as part of the play.
Everybody has a total right to like what ever they decide to like and there is no right or wrong applied to that. My comments are simply geared to evaluate the success of the play and its music.
