* AdvertisingByAssociation: Creator/LinManuelMiranda is in the crew list as Associate Music Director and "that guy who wrote WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}". While ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' is the piece that catapulted Miranda into public recognition (beyond the world of theatre nerds), ''Moana'', being a successful Disney film, helped further his popularity.

Added DiffLines:

* TruerToTheText: The spoken scenes for "Doty" quote extensively from the original show, more so than "Vox Machina" or "Demigod Vecna". This is partially because ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen'' is not sung-through and includes dialogue scenes. The scriptwriters have more room to work with, and do not have to contort the plot to fit the songs as much as they did with the nearly sung-through ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
