Into Musical Theatre: Difference between revisions

A classic gay stereotype: a [[Flamboyant Gay]], who lives for acting, singing, or performing in general. They love the spotlight, have memorized every line from their favorite musicals, took modern dance or ballet at some point, and are constantly trying to break into theater. The female variety is invariably straight, but unlike the male version, stands a good chance of also being a [[Soapbox Sadie]].

WellThis enoughstereotype knownis prominent enough that the expression "he's into musical theater" is a well-known euphemism for being "gay".

* [[Camp Gay|Nathan]] from ''[[Blood Plus+]]'' ''lives'' for the stage and is the producer/manager/whatever of [[Big Bad|Diva's]] [[Evil Diva|musical debut]]. Of course, the performance he most wants to direct and present to an adoring audience is Saya's death at Diva's hands. [[Not So Harmless|God help you if you try to screw it up by doing something silly like killing Saya before he sets the perfect stage for her and Diva.]] Lights, camera, action!

* Annie in ''[[Annie Onon My Mind]]'' is a rare female version of this trope, being a keen and talented singer with a passion for the dramatic.

* Sander Cohen from ''[[BioBioShock Shock(series)]]'' can be triangulated at the center of [[Performance Artist]], [[Mad Artist]], and [[Depraved Homosexual]].

* Apollo from ''[[O Cast (Web Video)|O -Cast]]''. He ''is'' the god of music and poetry, after all.

* Squidward from ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]''. Granted he's pretty straight, but he is on ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]''.

* The lisp-spouting, male actor worshiping, drama teacher Mr. Bickles on ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]''.

* Mr. Fleur from ''[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]''.
