The Shakespeare plays should be integrated into one section, and probably rewritten a bit, but this works for now.
* Kate from Shakespeare's play ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' may count if you're [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples one of those people who insist on believing that Shakespeare did everything first]], although she was more of a DefrostingIceQueen.
** Some more modern interpretations of the play never have her lose her edge. However, Lilli Venessi, who plays Kate in the play-within-a-play in ''Theatre/KissMeKate'' definitely exhibits tsundere traits. Same goes for Catalina (played by Claudia Di Girolamo) from "La Fiera", a Chilean Telenovela also based in the play, though she's an ActionGirl and older than the standard.
*** And Kat in ''10 Things I Hate About You'', which is also based on the play.

* Christmas Eve from ''Theatre/AvenueQ'', her solo song is even called "The More You [[JapaneseRanguage Ruv]] Someone (The More You Want To Kill Them)".

* In ''Theatre/MaryMary'', Mary alternates between being a cynical DeadpanSnarker and acting helplessly romantic, particularly around her ex-husband Bob. Her smug denial of being a [[DefrostingIceQueen "Miss Birdseye Frozen"]] only adds to the {{Tsundere}} impression, as does the noticeable catch in her voice when she says "I should know better than to believe it when somebody tells me that I'm--pretty."
* Creator/WilliamShakespeare has some more straightforward examples of a Tsundere than Katherine--Hermia from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', for example, who gets very fiery when roused, and Katherine Percy and Hotspur of ''Theatre/HenryIVPart1'', who are a Tsundere ''married couple''. He constantly insults and belittles her while she threatens him with violence. And they are ''adorable''.
* Continuing with Creator/WilliamShakespeare's works, Leonato in ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' describes Beatrice's feelings for Benedick thusly:
-->By my troth, my lord, I cannot tell what to think\\
of it but that she loves him with an enraged\\
affection: it is past the infinite of thought.
* Kate from Shakespeare's play ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' may count if you're [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples one of those people who insist on believing that Shakespeare did everything first]], although she was more of a DefrostingIceQueen.

*** And Kat in ''10 Things I Hate About You'', which is also based on the play.
* Penelope Pennywise from ''Theatre/{{Urinetown}}'' is a rare Western example of a Harsh Tsundere. Her 'dere trigger' is anything to do with Hope, [[spoiler: since she is her daughter, and/or being reminded of her past with Cladwell]]. She has even been known to get violent at times, and is particularly good with a plunger…

[[folder:Sweet (Dere)]]
%%* Sarah towards Sky in ''Theatre/GuysAndDolls''.
* In Creator/GilbertAndSullivan's ''Theatre/{{Iolanthe}}'', the fairies give rather mixed messages, with cooing "don't go"s in between the abuse in "In vain to us you plead." It's practically the Tsundere anthem.
-->In vain to us you plead--
----->Don’t go!
-->Your prayers we do not heed--
----->Don’t go!
--->It’s true we sigh,
---->But don’t suppose
--->A tearful eye
---->Forgiveness shows.
----->Oh, no!
-->We’re very cross indeed--
-->Yes, very cross,
----->Don’t go!
-->Your disrespectful sneers--
----->Don’t go!
-->Call forth indignant tears--
----->Don’t go!
--->You break our laws--
---->You are our foe:
--->We cry because
---->We hate you so!
----->''You'' know!
-->You very wicked Peers!
-->You wicked Peers!
----->Don’t go!
* Beatrice from ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' is more Sweet; she is friendly and amiable toward most people, except Benedick. Their [[BelligerentSexualTension "merry war"]] [[EveryoneCanSeeIt fails to hide their true affections from the rest of the cast]]. She defrosts to a certain extent, but her relationship with Benedick races up and down the temperature scale throughout. She's also fiercely protective of her cousin Hero, to the point of wanting to see Claudio dead when he wrongly accuses Hero of infidelity.
* Marian in ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'' is the benevolent and level-headed librarian/music teacher, who tends to be kind, if assertive, towards others. But when Harold Hill comes around, she is justifiably icy and dismissive.

If you knew what I had to do to get these tickets for the two of us, you'd ''thank'' me. Keep quiet, and go back to {{Tsundere}} before you get us both kicked out of this place.

%%* ''Theatre/LaBoheme'': Musetta.
%%* ''Theatre/DonGiovanni'': Donna Elvira.
* ''L'elisir D'amore'': Adina might be an early, operatic version of this. Her merciless teasing of the hapless Nemorino is finally revealed to be a cover for the affection she feels for him. Adina even goes so far as to accept another man's marriage proposal just to annoy the poor boy. She doesn't admit her true feelings, even to herself, until she sees him surrounded by female admirers.
