Mundane Made Awesome/Theatre
Examples of Mundane Made Awesome in Theatre include:
- Compared to Greek drama, very little of Japanese Noh drama plays contained actual drama. Much of it featured characters going about everyday tasks and situations, with the actors extremely slow recitation of lines and expressive mannerisms allotting for drama portion.
- "Second" from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Who knew two prepubescent kids taking turns spelling words like "zoonosis" and "astrobleme" could be so epic?
- An earlier scene has a character spell "weevil" in slow motion.
- The Greek Chorus in the musical Allegro breathlessly anticipates a child's first steps and glorifies his learning to walk with the heroic marching song "One Foot, Other Foot."
- You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown has a complex, metaphor-laden quartet, crossing multiple musical styles, and has at one point four main characters singing four different melodies with four different texts, reaching an intense musical climax and showing off the vocal talents of the soprano lead. The subject of the song? A 100-word book report on "Peter Rabbit."
- Super Robot Wars Z: Doing the Monkey in a post-victory dance.
