Over the years Benny Andersson and Tim Rice have returned to the work over and over, making concert versions, including one with Josh Groban and Idina Menzel.

Minor productions have been set up all over the world, from Aotearoa New Zealand to South Korea to Germany to Russia to the US and obviously many times in Sweden and its neighbors.

Each time has used a different selection of songs and a different mix of plots, as several songs were added to the original score for both the West End and Broadway productions and the Broadway plot is quite different from that of West End and the album.

The work has been translated into Swedish, Italian, Hungarian and parts of it into Russian, where some of the songs were used for a different work.

Is it the most well-known obscure and the most successful unsuccessful (on Broadway) musical?
