For what it’s worth, I remember watching the “Masterclass” documentary series on HBO many years ago. In the episode starring Patti Lupone, she encourages one of the young musical-theater aspirants who was having trouble conveying emotion or generating excitement in her performance to try singing the song again in a higher key to raise the physical stakes (i.e., as your “gent” said, to make the physical act of singing harder), and hopefully, the emotional stakes with it. It worked like magic.

I would say that I'm sure this happens in shows, but that it probably depends on the show, and of course, on the performers. In a case like Nine, where the role of Guido is already quite taxing in terms of stage time, etc, I might think they wouldn't want to risk tiring his voice out further by raising keys - but I don't know what actually happened.
