Changes made after the original Broadway production "I Need to Know", sung by Jekyll, was re-instated to the score (placed after "Lost in the

Darkness"; in some productions it is in its place Reprises #1, #2 and #4 of "Faade" are generally removed; in effect "Faade (reprise #3)"

becomes "Faade (reprise)" "Bring On the Men" re-instated in place of "Good 'N' Evil" "Streak of Madness" re-instated in full, and re-titled from "Obsession" "Bitch, Bitch, Bitch!", sung by the ensemble, is re-instated in some, but not all, productions

(placed after "Faade") "Girls of the Night", sung by Lucy and the whores, is re-instated in some, but not all,

productions (placed after "In His Eyes") The Concert

The song list for the Concert tour is almost identical to that of the 1994 Concept recording, but cutting out the large ensemble numbers and vocals. It omits most of the changes made for the Broadway production and features an exclusively new song, "If You Only Knew" (sung by Emma), which has thus far, featured only in that production
