Changing keys for artists in revivals of musicals - sometimes for someone taking over in a role in the original production - is nothing new.

In opera, composers frequently have had mezzos sing soprano roles and vice versa, with frequent key changes. And opera singers thru the ages have either interpolated flashier high notes, or edited out the existing ones.

The only pertinent issue is - 'How does it sound?'
