It's a lady's prerogative! I don't think anybody should EVER apologize for a rewrite.

What a swell guy that Marc Shaiman is...
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher

Marc, you rock. Those who know you, understand you. You are now famous. You can learn to ride the big wave or you can let it drown you. Be strong my friend. It's so cliche' but Marc, people are not only talking about you, they are passionate about you either way. You have arrived. Find some comfort in it.
Gratuitous side note-
Phantom2, that Shaiman is a swell guy, eh? Perhaps we've met?

I find it interesting that Mr Weber discounts the originality of "Urinetown," "The Producers" and "Hairspray" because their scores are modeled after other musical styles, then hails the originality of "Avenue Q." Perhaps he never saw an episode of "Sesame Street," where "Q" obviously finds its roots?
He also discounts the entire score of "Taboo" as being "written long ago." When all but 2 songs of the score was written for the stage. And the aforementioned songs occur in the musical as times when Boy George was in the studio recording them (at least in the London production, I have not yet seen the NYC version).
Not to praise or tarnish the merrits of any of these scores, simply to point out further discrepancies of the article.
