- Adaptation Displacement: In the United States, the musical is much more well-known than the film that it's based on.
- Awesome Music:
- "I Wanna Be Evil", the Medley during the fashion show.
- A lot of the songs from the musical, such as "Sex Is In The Heel", "The History of Wrong Guys", "Everybody Say Yeah" and "Soul of a Man"
- Critical Dissonance: The movie got pretty mixed reviews from critics, but was more widely liked by audiences. Averted with the play, which was generally liked by both critics and audiences.
- Tearjerker: Soul of a Man from the musical.
- Also, "Hello, Daddy."
- What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Some toddlers have been taken to see the musical, and a sensory-friendly Broadway series for children with disabilities featured it. It's about people going to a shoe show, and young children, especially girls, like dressing up, so many parents falsely believe the show could appeal to them. It's actually about a drag queen who has to deal with adult problems at that shoe show.
