Just learned that the iconic song "Tomorrow" from the musical "Annie" was originally intended for a musical based on... the classic sci-fi story "Flowers for Algernon".
It totally works. Also, fun fact about Charles Strouse (author of Annie) - he got the funding for "Bye, Bye Birdie" only from the song "Put on a Happy Face." From what I understand, it was the only song ready to present to backers.
