Deadpan Snarker: Theatre
  • Mary Flynn from Merrily We Roll Along. An unusual character trait given that she's the chick in her Power Trio.
  • Joanne in Company. She's about as snarky as you can find.
  • The Lemony Narrator of Passing Strange.
  • Ruth Sherwood from Wonderful Town, especially in her song "One Hundred Easy Ways".
  • John Proctor of The Crucible shows some of this, especially in Act One.
  • Arms and the Man has Nicola, who is always ready with some witty banter behind the master's back.
  • Phyllis from Follies.
  • Romeo and Juliet
    • Mercutio. Especially as he's dying.
    • Romeo's usually too busy whining, but he is shown to be quite snarky himself when he's in a happier mood, i.e. Act II.
  • Hamlet. All the time. Even talking to himself.
  • Iago has some sweet moments.
  • Wicked
    • In Act One, Fiyero has elements of this. His response when Elphaba claims his carriage almost ran her over is to comment that his driver saw green (her skincolour) and thought it meant go, and when asked if he was sleeping rather than paying attention tells her that he was sleeping, it's daytime.
    • Elphaba very much.
    Fiyero: Uh, listen, I've been thinking—
    Elphaba: Yes, I heard.
But that line is the least of it.
Nessarose: What are you doing here?
Elphaba: Well, there's no place like home.

Glinda and Elphaba: There must be some confusion for you see my roommate is...
Glinda: Unusually and exceeding peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe.
Elphaba: [Beat] Blonde.
