Agreed, and as a deeper sidebar, I do think Pasek and Paul are probably guilty of little more than being overly prolific and churning out things on quick deadlines. When they give their work the time to revise and develop, their work seems richer and more nuanced.
I mean, honestly, wtf do I know?! We all need to pay the bills. We can't fault them for making some money while the chances are here. But I have a hunch they can tell the difference between the tunes they crank out quickly versus the ones they nurture for a long time. And one thing I can say about my favorite musicals is this: they generally sat in the minds and notepads of their creators for years before we ever heard them.
