* AdaptationDistillation: Averted, the musical is approximately as long as the game.

%%* ThatWasObjectionable

It has inspired the [[http://w11.zetaboards.com/Ghost_Trick_Musical/index/ Ghost Trick Musical]], which is officially the sister project of this, and the [[http://ajmusical.freeforums.net/ Apollo Justice Musical]], an unrelated production based on [[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney the fourth game]] in the series.

** "It's Gotta Be the Butz!" between Larry and von Karma.

--> '''Payne:''' ''"You should just walk out that door!"''
--> Mia and Phoenix [[ExactWords leave]].

--> '''Gumshoe:''' You can call him Missile, he'll find any drugs or clues you need!
--> '''Phoenix:''' Well, he should come in handy if the Gourd Lake Monster's been smoking weed.

* AccentAdaptation: Several characters are given an accent to reflect their personality.
** UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: April May is given a {{Joisey}} accent, where Redd White dons the stereotypical, upper-crust snob accent peppered all over American media.

** In "600,000 Volts", Manfred von Karma makes several threats to kill Phoenix and Maya if they don't hand over a piece of evidence, the most notable being "The trial is ending/Now your life's depending/On lending that parchment you see" and "You ought to know better/Now give me that letter/Lest you watch your girlfriend be slain". It's especially dark when one remembers [[DisproportionateRetribution what he's actually done before]], and then FridgeHorror sets in.

The project was a massive undertaking and involved many dedicated and talented fans and friends to create the enormous show. With a total of ''no less'' than '''nineteen songwriters''', many of whom wore multiple hats in other creative departments on the project. Some of them contributed to as few as one or two songs, but others helped to define the show's sound, like the ever-popular [=TriforceBun=].
