Thank you SO much for that post. I loved reading that. I do not know. I think this "based on", "adapted from", "Inspired by" musical is sort of its own thing. What do you really call it? I do not know or care. It just moves me deeply and labels have never served anyone or any culture well. Maybe, The Visit (musical) is just something unique unto itself. Dunno.
