** The Broadway ProShot is missing the song "Forever" because it replaced the original song "Donkey Pot Pie" between the original Broadway run and the U.S. tour. The song contains a lot of Dragon's motivations (she's annoyed that she's a glorified babysitter and no one will ever want to rescue ''her'') and the reason Donkey becomes attracted to her (in stating that Fiona's not his type, he declares he "likes a big, big girl"). These songs were released as singles after after the Broadway production closed.
