It's conceptual, certainly, however much I love it, the songs are more specific to the characters and not the scenarios. For example, Joker's Song or Catwoman's Song could happen anywhere in The Musical. It's not specific to any narrative device or scenario. Whereas we know "And The Money Kept Rolling In (And Out)" from "Evita" is very specific to that scenario, "Gethsemane" in "Jesus Christ Superstar" etc. etc.
