Aislinn, I really like this post because I think it is a fantastic open-source look at what this song was intended to do in the original show, which was to give our audience a lot of background information, and at the resources we used to go about writing it. I distinctly remember sitting around a table together hashing out whether a particular verse or phrase was necessary, whether it told enough of the story, etc. I’m fairly certain it was also my first rehearsal as part of the team.

I will miss you, Tim Buck, the Musical!
