1* ActingForTwo: The same actor plays Dr. Madden and Dr. Fine. InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals, because the two doctors are not only identical, but identical strangers--and no one in the cast takes any notice of their resemblance.
2* CutSong: So, so many. Including: "Perfect" which was replaced with "Everything Else", "Costco" was just cut all together (though it got a subtle mention in "Better than Before"), "Getting Better" which was rewritten into "Better than Before", "Feeling Electric" was replaced with "Wish I Were Here", and "Growing Up Unstable" was just cut out all together as well.
3* DawsonCasting: Played straight with Creator/AaronTveit, who was 25 playing an 18 year old, and Adam Chanler-Berat who was 22, and playing a 17 year old.
4* OrphanedReference: The Off-Broadway version had a song called "Costco", where Diana has a manic episode while shopping, and during the song "Getting Better", Natalie brings up a photo from the event. "Costco" was later cut, however Natalie's reference to it was still kept when "Getting Better" was rewritten into "Better than Before".
