• George Lucas was offered the chance to direct this movie in the early 1970s, but turned it down because he was developing American Graffiti (1973).
  
  

• Although the film is based on the theatrical stage musical as well as sharing some of the songs and character names, the two versions are drastically different in most respects including plot, which songs are sung, the order in which they are performed and which character performs them, and how the characters are portrayed.
  
  
• The words in the closing number, entitled 'The Flesh Failures', contain lines from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The words come from Romeo's death scene before drinking the poison. Phrases such as 'Eyes, Look your Last, Arms take your last embrace' and 'The lips, oh you the doors, of breath, sealed with a righteous kiss' are all from Romeo's final monologue.
