Act I

Notes

In the original 2013 Broadway production, Act I was longer and more episodic, with several numbers that expanded Edward’s tall tales and his adventures in Ashton. In the licensed/revised version, Act I was streamlined to focus more quickly on Edward’s romance with Sandra and his bond with Will. Songs such as “Stranger” and “Two Men in My Life” were moved earlier, and “Out There on the Road” replaced some of Edward’s traveling sequences, creating a tighter narrative flow.

Act II

Notes

In the Broadway production, Act II carried much of the emotional weight, with Will’s “Stranger” placed late in the show and Sandra’s “Two Men in My Life” serving as a reflective moment before Edward’s decline. In the licensed/revised version, Act II was reshaped to emphasize Edward’s final moments, including his ballads “Fight the Dragons” (shifted earlier to Act I) and “How It Ends.” The restructuring places greater focus on the father–son reconciliation and trims some of the more fantastical digressions from the Broadway staging.
