!!The Fairy Tale
* TearJerker: The Prince's death.

!!The Musical
* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad King Ignacio]] is Digby's father and the King of Sealand. Years ago, Ignacio [[TilMurderDoUsPart murdered his wife]], driving his son to cut himself off from emotions and thus earning the nickname The Solemn Prince. Wanting to conquer the Kingdom of Lagobel for its resources, Ignacio decides to organize the assassination of Crown Prince Alexander and later tries to have Digby assassinate Princess Althea. When Digby falls in love with Althea, Ignacio tries to marry him off to his cousin and has him locked away when he refuses. Upon uncovering a secret lake that supplies water to Lagobel, Ignacio builds a dam to cut off the water source, causing a massive drought upon the Kingdom and leading to the Lagobellians dying of thirst. When Digby breaks the dam, Ignacio nearly [[OffingTheOffspring kills him]] for his insolence.
* TheWoobie: Almost all the characters have this at one point or another. Digby is very much the StoicWoobie variant; Althea is hard to feel bad for at first because of her flippant attitude toward everything, but small moments throughout the show reveal her woobie-ish tendencies, and by “Tears” she is full-on IronWoobie; Piper and Llewellyn suffer as the closest people to the main protagonists; King Darius goes through a lot while grieving for his wife and son.
