Very interesting. So adopting my thinking, should THE VISIT(musical) say that it "is "inspired by" rather than "based on". The show just does not seem at all interested in reflecting the same things as the play. The focus is entirely different, even opposed to, the message of the play. TOTALY different agendas. So...what the hell is that then? In Terms of how the producers should bill the show. See, this is sort of why I love the musical. It is just really unique on a lot of levels. So, how do you categorize what they are doing?
