That's just weird. I love it about Elisabeth that it's through-sung (like Kunze's musicals in general). It always made more sense to me than have the characters alternate between speaking and singing, which many musicals do. And it's written to be through-sung so changing a lot of the sung lines to spoken lines can't work. It already bothered me a bit that they had so much dialogue in Budapest, but at least it was added lines, not speaking lines that should be sung.
