Also, the only thing I really missed from the film was “One Day I’ll Fly Away.” Ah, well.

From Entertainment Weekly:

Satine’s ballad “One Day I’ll Fly Away” is gone, which Justin Levine says was a function of where they needed an “I Want” song for her to take place within the action. “In our version, Satine is less concerned about leaving the club behind and more driven to save the club and to use her star power to actually save her family,” he says. “That moment became more about her having to amp herself up and psych herself up to basically come through for her loved ones and her family at the Moulin Rouge.” In that case, the somber tone and yearning for escape inherent to the onscreen ballad no longer jibed with the storytelling.

Meantime, ''Moulin Rouge!'' has released a 2nd track on YouTube: Tveit and Olivo singing ''Come What May.''

Thank you for your reply! I don’t fault the choice per se, but your post clarified where I found a disconnect. Maybe I wanted her to fly away and be less loyal to Harold? Nevertheless, I enjoyed the spectacle.

Also, I apologize for putting an extra “i” in Ms. Olivo’s surname. She’s a treasure.
