while you and I agree on substance, it is actually not a stretch and it's worth pointing this out. The book of a musical is not, as many assume, just the non-sung dialogue, but includes everything prescribed about the sequence and staging of the show. This device DOES alter the published script-otherwise the producers would have told the rights holders to fuck off. There are productions that have been shut down because of the color of a costume, and because a SL door is moved to SR. The writers of shows have a lot of power in America.
