=== This musical provides examples of: ===
 
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]] - Pretty much straight through, {{spoiler|until the end}}.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Greek Chorus]] - The Liebeslieders.
* [[The Ingenue]] - Anne, right down to the soprano.
* [[Knife -Throwing Act]]
* [[Life Imitates Art]] - Victoria Mallory and Len Cariou, the actors for Anne and Frederik, were dating when the original production opened. When it closed, Victoria Mallory ran away with Mark Lambert, Henrik's actor. Their daughter, Ramona Mallory, played Anne in the 2009 Broadway revival.
* [[The Loins Sleep Tonight]] - Poor, poor Henrik.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
** This line is also a series of interlocking [[Love Triangle|Love Triangles]], with Carl-Magnus, Desiree, Fredrik, Anne, Henrik and Petra each forming the apex of a [[Triang Relations|Type 7 love triangle]], in which those either side of them on the line are the other corners. Charlotte also attempts to make Fredrik the third corner of a love triangle with Carl-Magnus and herself at one point.
* [[Love Hurts]]
* [[May -December Romance]] - However, {{spoiler|Anne and Fredrik don't end up together, and this is portrayed as a good thing}}.
* [[Mythology Gag]] - In ''Smiles of a Summer Night'', Fredrik falls into some water at Desiree's house, soaking his clothes, and so Desiree gives him Carl-Magnus's robe to wear while he waits for them to dry; Carl-Magnus arrives and is outraged, suspecting shenanigans. In ''A Little Night Music'', the innocent explanation is dispensed with: Fredrik and Desiree actually do have sex. But when Carl-Magnus arrives, they tell him that Fredrik fell in the water, and so Desiree gave him Carl-Magnus's robe to wear while he waits for his clothes to dry...
* [[Not What It Looks Like]] - Anne and Fredrik walk in on Petra... fixing Henrik's pants. Although no one actually says the magic words, and while it's not sexual itself, it does happen right after Henrik and Petra's attempt at sex (see [[The Loins Sleep Tonight]] above).
