* DiscriminateAndSwitch: PlayedForLaughs when Dee Dee says she's shocked that he's a big Broadway fan. Mr. Hawkins thinks that her surprise is because he's Black, but she quickly corrects him--it's because he's ''straight.''

* AmbiguousSituation: It's deliberately left unclear if Mrs. Greene is unaware of her daughter's sexuality, or has figured it out and is in deep denial over it. When Alyssa attempts to come out to her in Act II, she says "I think you might already know"--only for Mrs. Greene to immediately and frantically shut her down, suggesting that she's at least entertained the thought.

* FreudianExcuse: "Alyssa Greene" implies that Mrs. Greene was deeply hurt by her husband divorcing her. But rather than discuss her feelings or sort through them, she instead turns to micromanaging her daughter's life, as she somehow believes that Alyssa being "perfect" will convince him to return.

* GiftedlyBad: His attempt at writing a ballad about acceptance--[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fittingly titled]] "Acceptance Song"--is utterly, utterly horrible, with treacly, badly-rhymed lyrics and an overly simplistic melody. Trent thinks it's a work of genius; everyone else knows it's the exact opposite.

* CloserToEarth: She's probably the most "normal" of the four stars, as she lacks Barry and Dee Dee's mammoth egos and Trent's pretentiousness. Fittingly, she's the one who finds out about Emma's plight in the first place and is consistently demonstrated as the most empathetic of the group.

* TheatreIsTrueActing: PlayedForLaughs in the film, where Trent waxes poetic about his classical stage training at Julliard to hide his shame that he's currently unemployed and only known as an actor from an old sitcom.
-->'''Trent:''' You see, my passions are fueled by the power of Lady Theater and how she can, with a gentle touch of her hand, sculpt a human soul. But we learned at Juilliard...If I could soliloquize, "If you prick me, do I not bleed?" "And if you do not pay me, do I not still act?" That might be enough. Still, I have played Hamlet, and yet I'm only known as that guy from the beloved early aughts' sitcom...'Talk to the Hand.' I question the very meaning of my existence.
