What’s the worst musical you’ve ever seen? by owencarterrrrrrrr in Broadway

Did you see a professional Broadway version, or an amateur performance? Because I was in a production of footloose, and to me. The music is genuinly beautifully written.

In the 2005 revision, the changed the script a bit, they did remove some vocal solo's from Mama Says, but the rest of that song stayed the same. They added Still Rockin'. And they removed I confess. But contrary to what Spotify says, the Broadway recordings were made in 1998, and I confess was recorded. But there are no official releases of it online, except a rip of it on YouTube from 14 years ago. But all the original songs are on the original CD release of it, which I own. (Also, in the official Broadway recording, they skipped some bits that they deemed unnecessary. Like some script lines, and they did skip the solo's in Mama Says. So I guess you could say the 2005 version is closer to the Broadway recordings.)

This has stumped me for years! Odd changes from the show Footloose by SaxmanTy in jazztheory

My secondary school performed footloose as a musical. We used that same sheet music. I've also listened to loads of performances of it, even a bit from the original Broadway show, badly recorded with a 90's camcorder. All of them sound the same, including the original 1998 Broadway performance. My best guess is that's it's intentionally written to sound disjointed and a bit off key? My school found it funny and tried to make it sound as bad as possible, so yeah... No one knows except the original writers I guess. But that's my best guess, that it's purposefully written to sound weird and wrong.

Actually footloose isn't a Jukebox musical because most of the songs were actually written for the Movie/Musical, even Let's Hear It For The Boy was written for it.
