I loved the show and saw the original when I was 17, but don't recall much about it.
I do think, in my opinion, that the cuts really impact and minimize the emotional connection that Arnold has with Alan. I just don't see them having a strong, long lasting relationship based on the Fugue In A Nursery. To me, there is nothing there that suggests that Alan and Arnold would have deep, long lasting love. Did the cuts impact the foundation of that relationship whereby Arnold would in fact be mourning his soul mate and partner in the second act?
