Renamed one trope.


* QuestionableCasting: As was the case for his stint on ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying'', Creator/DarrenCriss got this response from a lot of people when he was to take the role of Hedwig. The major complaints seen centered around his lack of a vocal range to suit the stage. And as per Darren's usual, all doubts were put to bed once he opened his mouth.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: There exist some theories that Tommy and Hedwig are the same person, at least in the stage show. The theory is [[EpilepticTrees a stretch]] in the movie, though not impossible.

* FetishRetardant: Something about Luther's seduction of Hansel is downright creepy. Maybe it's the way they're chewing the Gummi Bears...[[UnfortunateImplications or how he lured him away with promises of candy...]]

This non-YMMV trope seems to have been placed on YMMV because someone thought it may be arguable, but Examples Are Not Arguable


* ManlyGay: Hedwig's back story is that she was a gay man who had the sex change operation to escape from Communist East Germany, not really a transwoman, so she tends to have a different interpretation depending on the actor. She is also usually played by men, with the exceptions of Ally Sheedy and Creator/LenaHall.

* {{Tear Jerker}}: Almost every time a song involves Tommy and Hedwig in the same scene is going to be pretty emotional.
