  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In the 2003 revival, there is a new song called "Haven in the Sky", which features an eerie-sounding chorus singing airline announcements while the girl sings about how relaxed she is on her flight to New York. It's pointless filler and is never brought up again.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The girl telling her mother in the 2003 revival that the latter "managed very well going from vinyl to CD" in an effort to urge her to get online and write emails instead of letters in the post. Now CDs are essentially obsolete, while vinyl is enjoying a resurgence of popularity.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The original version of the show has become one, mainly due to the girl sending letters in the mail to communicate with her mother back home. Some contemporary productions will truly make it into a period piece, pointing out that the story is set in the 1980s to explain the lack of modern technology. Ironically, the updated 2003 version is falling into this as well; the protagonist's use of a laptop to send emails would now be considered outdated with texting on smartphones now being the norm.
