Promoted to Love Interest: Difference between revisions

* In the musical of ''[[The Producers]]'' the previously minor part of Swedish secretary Ulla is not only expanded into leading lady but she becomes Bloom's love interest and briefly is the center of a one-sided [[Love Triangle]] between him and Max.

* The musical adaptation of ''[[The Scarlet Pimpernel (theatre)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]'' adds a romantic history for the villain Chauvelin and the heroine Marguerite, making the former something of [[The Vamp]], since the latter used to be [[Heel Realization|on his side]]. In the original novel, they were nothing more than acquaintances in the past and Chauvelin sees Marguerite as nothing but "a tool" now, his faith in her intellect to help him nab the Scarlet Pimpernel and his constant [[Terms of Endangerment]] aside.

* The Wicked Witch of the West and the Scarecrow are promoted to being love interests in the musical ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'', based on [[Wicked (novel)|a book]] of the same name. It seems really [[Squick|Squicky]] unless you've actually seen the musical ( {{spoiler|Wicked Witch Elphaba turned Fiyero, her boyfriend, into the scarecrow to keep him from being tortured to death}}). After that, it's all just an interesting [[Alternative Character Interpretation]].
