A lot of them came at the expense of songs, adding scenes I didn’t feel were necessary. That said, the performances were all uniformly great (except for Beatriz, who was absurdly hammy compared to the cast, but she’s largely background, so that didn’t matter, lol)— it was fucking awesome having leads that can actually sing and dance, a goddamn miracle in today’s “auto tune big stars” world. And the first act of the musical is one of my favorite acts of the last 15ish years, so it was really great seeing that come to life on the screen.
