* CheaterGetsCheatedOn: Practically the entire cast is guilty. Carl-Magnus makes almost no secret of cheating on his wife Charlotte with Desiree, but when he finds Desiree in a compromising situation with Frederik, he is furious at the idea that she would be unfaithful to him, as is he when Charlotte kisses Frederik in an attempt to make him jealous. Frederik, meanwhile, is married to the much younger Anne, who, after learning of his affair with Desiree, ends up cheating on him with his own son, one year her senior.

Added DiffLines:

* MedleyOverture: Instead of the usual orchestral overture, the GreekChorus ''sings'' a wordless medley of "Remember?," "Soon" and "The Glamorous Life" (on the cast recording due to space limitations, this is abridged to just the first song).

* SympatheticAdulterer: Given his wife has continually put off consummating their marriage, whom eventually runs off with his son, and he is genuinely still in love with Desirée, it's hard to judge Fredrick for starting an affair.
