| Musically, the balance of solo material (from 1994 on) has changed a little from the original - Frank gets "Growing Up" and Gussie gets 2 reprises of it, plus the diegetic reprise of "Good Thing Going." Beth is added to the wedding version of "Not A Day Goes By." And Charley loses the long held "best thing that ever could have------------------- happened" in "Now You Know." So perhaps it feels as if Charley is used less, comparatively, though musically at least, it's pretty much the same role. | |

| I think it is important to mention that Frank loses "Rich and Happy," in which he has a full-song's worth of solo. It's a company number, but Frank's solo is the length of a song. He has only a fraction of that in "That Frank." | |

| Yes. Good point. (And of course Charley was not in that number at all.) | |
