14 notes in CFA/N2N

Any other N2N fans notice the 14 consecutive notes in the song "Something's Missing" from Come From Away that are (almost) identical to the start of "Maybe?"  No judgment -- I absolutely loved CFA, and I generally enjoy these little similarities, whether they're subconscious choices or an homage by the writers.

Just curious if anyone else jumped in their seat a little!

Yes, i hear it every time! The CFA lyrcis could also fit into the N2N story, not so much the other way around.

CFA: "Back to the ways that things were..."

N2N: " Maybe I've lost it at last..."

Overall, I love the CFA score and think it's better than DEH's.

That's what Tom Kitt gets for lifting the first 11 notes of If/Then straight out of Anastasia

Ach, sorry.  I feel like there's no really effective way to search for a small thread like that -- site and Google searches are both imperfect.  But I did try to check.
