When Fred and Skip came to
Issaquah, Washington (scroll down to 2006) to have the reading of
The Last Starfighter (where I got to meet them in person), there was also a reading of the score/version of
Little Women by the composer/lyricist team who were fired from that Broadway production. Their score was absolutely delightful! I wish that they would/could record it. I liked, but didn't love, the Broadway score, but I thoroughly enjoyed the "original" version.
