Line 7:
** There's also the matter of the London version of ''Follies'', which made several baffling changes. Ben's solo "The Road You Didn't Take" was cut. "Live, Laugh, Love", was replaced with "Make the Most of Your Music" (a song which changes Ben's part from baritone to tenor). The lyrics to "In Buddy's Eyes" were altered.
* ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''. Sweet Oz, ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''. Though it should be said that while the purists of [[Wicked (novel)|the book]] are infuriated with [[In Name Only|the many changes]] made to the musical, [[Word of God|Gregory Maguire himself]] still likes it, and in fact stated that as long as the ''themes'' of the book were kept intact, the plot could change in any way necessary. After all, the book itself made changes to [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|Baum's Oz]]...
* An attempt was made to update iconic anti-Vietnam war musical ''[[Hair (theatre)|Hair]]'' to reflect modern wars. Not only did making that change disrupt the entire show, since
** Of course the 2010 one bombed too, but that had different reasons.
* You would be hard pressed to bring up ''[[Love Never Dies]]'', the sequel to Andrew Lloyd
* No two productions of ''[[Chess (theatre)|Chess]]'' have ''ever'' been the same, and you will find fans who like each one and disparage all the ones that followed it, all the way back to the original [[Concept Album]] from 1983. Librettist [[Tim Rice]] considers the script from the 2009 Royal Albert Hall production to be the "definitive" version, but it's unknown how many subsequent productions have actually followed it.
* Actor replacements. People don't seem to understand that the OBC of any show is unlikely to stay for the entire run. People will overly criticize the replacements, and claim that they ruined the show for them. Even if the replacement actors are [[Your Mileage May Vary|better than the originals]].
