GREAT EXPECTATIONS has two endings. In the original Pip and Estella meet briefly, she is married, and there is no hope that they will end up together. Dickens rewrote a more "hopeful" ending that has Pip and Estella meeting once again at the ruins of Satis House. They gaze into each other’s eyes, both are single, Pip forgives her everything, and the reader is left with the impression that they will end up together.
Is this second ending preferable? Should Pip and Estella be together in the end? These are the same questions being discussed by the director and creators of GREAT EXPECTATIONS the musical. Should the musical end with the hope that these two characters will finally marry? Let us know your opinion.
