* In the film, a bit of a Funny ''Foreground'' Moment during La Vie Boheme - when it gets to the word "bisexuals", Maureen jumps right into the frame and basically takes it all up (before moving to look at Angel for "men"). This is some really clever staging with a CallBack: the camera deliberately pans to Angel on the appropriate word, whereas Maureen has to actively put herself in front of it, a funny call back to the fact that everybody mistakenly calls her a lesbian.
* In the 10th Anniversary performance, with the OBC:
** Acceptability seems to have risen, Maureen literally sticking her head into Joanne's crotch at one point.
** Benny slapping Maureen's ass at the start of La Vie Boheme, instead of Maureen herself. This is completely {{OOC}}, and definitely because their actors (Creator/TayeDiggs and Creator/IdinaMenzel) had gotten married by this point.
** Idina Menzel forgetting her lines created some funny parts: halfway through La Vie Boheme she forgets what to sing/say to Fredi Walker so goes "something, something, oh just kiss. We're close. (laughing)"
