My recollection of the Great Comet thing is that Off-Broadway to Broadway was nearly the same show, but the first Off-Broadway had a greater quantity of avant-garde content and less of the crowd-pleasing material. Malloy was advised to add more accessible, "hummable" material to create greater crossover potential; hence both the catchiness and the somewhat passive-aggressive lyric of the newly-added Prologue.
