* AcclaimedFlop: Everyone who ''saw'' the movie seems to like it, with particular praise going to the acting. Even most of the stage version's diehard fans like it; no small feat for any adaptation, but ''especially'' a film adaptation of a musical. Unfortunately, it saw a very limited release and was a BoxOfficeBomb, though it is now available through major streaming platforms and has found an audience there.

* TheCastShowOff: Given that it's a two person show, Jamie's actor has songs that are over 6 minutes long, and the portrayer has to have a giant vocal range. Most of Cathy's songs are difficult to sing, so the actress must be a talented soprano to play the part.
** Actually, while Cathy does require a decent singer, the role generally goes to a mezzo. This is because the peak note is a D#5, which is fairly standard for mezzo-sopranos. However, they did make all of the songs higher when Betsy Wolfe played her.

* CutSong: At least two that we know of:
** Cathy's second song was originally "What's Wrong With Him?", a comedy song with Cathy on the couch, singing to her psychologist. Apparently the joke [[OverlyLongGag outstayed its welcome]] and it was replaced with "See I'm Smiling".
** In the original Chicago production, Jamie's first song was "I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You", a more nervy first-date number. That song in particular was the subject of an injunction by Brown's ex-wife, with whom Brown had an agreement that he wouldn't write about their marriage; several details in the show were changed to mollify her, and this song was worked into "Shiksa Goddess".
