| Yes, it's completely delightful, but I think it was left out of the musical because it wouldn't have worked with the scenic design that was being planned. Similarly, the Russian roulette scene was ultimately left out, although it was planned at one point, because it was required (or so they thought) another major set piece of a sort that would not have fit with the general look and feel of the design. Of course, that scene was restored for the movie, with some adjustments, but the bedroom scene with Henrik's failed suicide attempt was not. |
