If I had a nickel: musicals edition

If I had a nickel for every version of The Last Five Years from 2016 that a Wicked movie star appeared in, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice and INFURIATING that neither got an album. (The productions were Jonathan Bailey & Samantha Barks in an off-West End production and Cynthia Erivo & Joshua Henry in an L5Y concert.)

Also, if I had a nickel for every 1954 musical that uses the word “panacea” — a word I have never heard elsewhere — I’d have 2 nickels… (Kismet and A Star is Born).

What other weird musical coincidences/happenstances do you have?
