Trivia / Tell Me on a Sunday

• Technology Marches On: The 1980 album (and the stage productions that followed it throughout the decade) now show their age because the protagonist's letters to her mother are sent through the regular mail rather than email or texting. Though updates were made for the 2003 production, it could be argued that the story doesn't work as well in a modern setting because instant communication makes the girl's leaving her family and moving to another country not as big of a deal as it once was. Now she could text them or even have a live video chat with them anytime.
