** Made worse by the fact that, just like in the Disney film, Esmeralda's prayer in "God Help the Outcasts" wasn't for herself, but for everyone else who needs God's protection, saying that she'd get by on her own and be fine. This time, [[TemptingFate she was wrong about that]].

Rearranged examples from the musical
* Jehan's death is bad enough, but the broken way he recounts his lover Florika's death beforehand is particularly heartwrenching.
-->'''Frollo:''' That Gypsy, you're with her!?\\
'''Jehan:''' (''forlornly'') She died three months ago... the pox... terrible thing to watch her suffer...
-->'''Frollo:''' That Gypsy, you're with her!?\\
'''Jehan:''' (''forlornly'') She died three months ago... the pox... terrible thing to watch her suffer...
* Phoebus's song in the USA production, "Rest and Recreation." While it starts off fine, [[https://youtu.be/7x_CgJMu19c?t=50s the interlude]] offers something different - Phoebus is still haunted by his "four years at the front", and briefly imagines all those who died at his side. The MoodWhiplash back to the merry tune afterwards doesn't help at all!
-->'''Congregation:''' Summoned here to Paris, now I'm far away from battle / [[WarIsHell From clotting blood and rotting wounds of dead and dying men.]] \\
'''Phoebus & Congregation:''' And whatever I do, I'll make sure this is true... \\
'''Phoebus:''' I will never go back again!
** In a more subtle way, the whole song is about how, after being surrounded by all that violence and bloodshed, he's ''finally'' in Paris. Even better, when he first gets there, he's on a three-day furlough! Finally, he can relax and have a weekend's worth of fun without worrying about anyone trying to kill him or trying to kill anyone else. Except no. As soon as he meets Frollo, he puts Phoebus to work in driving out the Roma, and says there's no time for rest and recreation. Phoebus literally didn't even get ''one day'' of peace before getting thrown into a war ''far'' worse than the one he left behind.
* The deleted song "In a Place of Miracles" is included in the show, but it's been reworked to be a much more bittersweet number. In the original scene, Esmeralda and Phoebus confess their love for one another, and while Quasimodo is heartbroken at first, he learns to accept their love after Phoebus and the others treat him with acceptance and kindness. In the show, he doesn't take it well at ''all'', and laments on how everyone has found their "place of miracles" except him (the DarkReprise of "Heaven's Light" is also worked into the song, making Quasi's situation even more tragic).
** When Clopin and the Roma join in, they sing about their hopes of finding a place of miracles of their own, as in a place where their kind is accepted, not scorned. Clopin himself really hammers the point home.
--->'''Clopin:''' Could there be a country kinder to our race?
** The number ends with Esmeralda, Phoebus, Clopin, and the other Roma standing side by side and hand-in-hand, while a lonely Quasi watches from above. It's just one big bittersweet image.
** And of course, what happens immediately after the song? [[MoodWhiplash Frollo and his men invade the Court and take Esmeralda to her death]].

* In the USA production of "Someday", Esmeralda, who had spent the whole musical being TheDeterminator, and had just refused Frollo's deal to spare her, [[TearsOfFear breaks down]] when the imminence of her death [[IDontWantToDie begins to sink in]]. Phoebus [[CooldownHug comforts her]] and they sing the rest of the song in each other's arms.
