* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In Act 3, [[spoiler:Orpheus serves as a brief obstacle in Grace's journey to the underworld, but ultimately not much more than that. Considering this is a Greek Mythology Musical, and Orpheus is the most well-known character in Classical Myth to do with songs (Persephone even says he's much more than a muse), his mother is usually stated to be Calliope and his father may be Apollo, and that his journey mirrors Grace's (potentially more successful) quest to save Freddie, it's a bit of a missed opportunity he didn't have more of a presence in the rest of the plot. Instead, after one song, he just... walks off-screen if Grace makes certain choices.]]

* Sugarwiki/AwesomeMusic: Being a murder-mystery musical, it's bound to have some of these.
** During [[spoiler: Aphrodite's "going away" party]], you can segue from a Clever song sequence into a confrontational one in an effort to talk her out of it - doing so elicits [[MotorMouth a patter number]] [[https://youtu.be/uICQJn1hEpo?si=Toxk6ioJgIuqt8FV&t=6625 from Grace]] that's ''very'' impressive in both the rhymes used and the fact that the singer seems to not take a moment to ''breathe''.
--->'''Grace''': Your rest leaves the rest of your family stressed and depressed / They repress, so will only digress / I'm impressed by the sense of occasion, I guess / But this mess of a quest to possess is grotesque / It's happened to me, and I'll never know when Calliope inside of me surfaces / So I request that your guests reassess the process / And unless you address all this godly excess, we'll continue to guess / While you repossess, and I won't acquiesce 'til a change manifests / I'm out!

** Aphrodite was [[spoiler:the only one of the pantheon to be captured and tortured during World War II and begged for mercy that only came when her husband sacrificed himself for the entire pantheon.]] This led her to have PTSD that didn't end no matter ''what'' she tried, leading to [[spoiler:annual parties to be reborn in a new body where she'd temporarily forget her past]]. Depending on your choices, Grace can either offer her the 'mercy' she's come to know, or encourage her to keep going, neither of which are easy decisions to make.
