* TheArtifact: The Soldier's companion is portrayed by a standee in the original production, and several lines jokingly allude to this fact (he cannot speak or hear, and he is "very close" to the Soldier because he always has to be carried around by him). However, he is portrayed by a live actor in the recent revival, yet all the lines referring to the original prop remain intact.

The second act focuses on Georges's fictional descendant, George, who is also an artist. George's particular medium, however, is not painting but "Chromolumes," a very avant-garde and cutting-edge idea of George's own invention. Sadly, they're [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible utterly meaningless to everyone except George.]] And they're also expensive as hell to put together. How is he supposed to find inspiration, and, perhaps just as importantly, funding, in a world that really doesn't care about originality?

* LyricalDissonance: "Sunday", an epic, bombastic, show-stopping orchestral number about... a bunch of people hanging around a small park relaxing "on an ordinary Sunday". Though it's played with, since the underlying theme of the song / show is that small, seemingly insignificant moments like this aren't necessary insignificant to those participating in them, and can lead to great things -- after all, none of these people are aware that they're being immortalised in what will become one of the greatest works of art of the century...
