Also, the quote in Punctuated For Emphasis occurs near the beginning of Act II, not the end, and alphabetisation goes by the letters (leading articles excepted), not the words; a trope beginning with "I T..." goes after one that begins with "In..."

* {{Tableau}}: Parodied; at the end of Act I, Matt, Luisa, and their fathers sing "Happy Ending" while striking a suitably celebratory pose after Matt's "victory" over El Gallo and the "kidnappers", after which they freeze in place. As El Gallo collects the props from the "abduction", he muses that they'll find it difficult to maintain their positions once reality sets in, and sure enough, although they are still in the same tableau at the beginning of Act II, they struggle to keep to it and eventually give up; the "happy ending" that the pose represents likewise falls apart in short order.
