Title Drop/Theatre: Difference between revisions

'''Blanche''': What you are talking about is brutal desire--just--Desire!--the name of that rattle-trap streetcar that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narrow street and down another... }}

* A double title drop is done in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''Tell Me on a Sunday''. There's the title song of course, but it also contains the lyrics "let me down easy, no big song and dance". ''Tell Me on a Sunday'' was combined with ''Variations'' to form the reworked show ''Song and Dance'', consisting of one "song" act (Tell Me on a Sunday) and one "dance" act (Variations), so this one is a retroactive title drop as well.

* In ''[[The Cat and the Canary]]'', no cats or canaries are brought up until the second act, when Annabelle starts flipping through a random book and finds herself reading about fear and how to overcome it through understanding:

{{quote|"Take a bird--a canary in a cage--put it on a table--then let a cat jump up and walk around the cage, glaring at the canary. What happens? The canary, seeing its enemy so close to it, is frightened almost to death. But if it had understanding, it would know that the cat couldn't reach it while it had the protection of the cage. Not knowing this, it suffers a thousand deaths--through fear."}}
