aversion, a version

Aversion or aversion  (one word ) means a feeling of dislike or repugnance--
He has an aversion to water, so we always vacation in the city.
She has an aversion to dogs, and won't let the children near one.

A version or a version ( two words ) means one ( a ) form or variant of something ( version )--
He does a version of that new hit song that's even better than the record.
They are doing a version of the old play, rewritten using modern language.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"I generally have an aversion to backstage musicals, but this is a version that I enjoyed."
