not only is that rule not practiced nearly as strictly as you're saying it is, actors flub lines. That's just the way it is.

Also, many composers find it a necessary component of a musical, because it gives audiences a pretty clear idea of what that character wants throughout the show, Whether the characters are drastically different from us or not. Can't
