Oklahoma! was originally titled Away We Go! The only thing that remained was the exclamation point.

Seussical went through many names:
Seuss! The Musical
The Seussical
Seussical the Musical

Also, back when West Side Story was about a Catholic boy falling in love with a Jewish girl (or was it vice versa) it was called East Side Story.

On a side note, in Annie some character names were different. Miss Hannigan was originally named Miss Asthma and Grace Farrell was originally named Grace Fair.

Oklahoma! was supposed to be Away we Go!

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

While in development, City of Angels was originally named Double Exposure - a title which makes a little more sense.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Didn't West Side Story just come from a switch in themes from the show Sondheim was originally going to write called East Side Story?

Anyone Can Whistle's original titles were The Natives are Restless, and oddly enough, Side Show.
