This is the YMMV page for Submissions Only.
- Dueling Shows: Could be seen as this with fellow Broadway webseries, It Could Be Worse.
- In a bizarre way, it also briefly served as this for Smash, since both shows focused on the behind-the-scenes production of shows on and around Broadway and featured a large pool of Broadway talent. And the consensus with a lot of people was that they preferred the low budget webseries to the flashy TV production...
- Friendly Fandoms: Again, with It Could Be Worse since both are webseries created by and starring Broadway regulars and focus on the struggles of being a performer - the only real disagreements the two fandoms have is over the fact that Submissions Only is noticeably Lighter and Softer and features a (much) larger selection of cameos.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Depending on whether you knew Santino Fontana before Frozen (2013), it can be quite funny to see him as the actual male romantic lead in this series.
- Also, the final episode of the first season has Penny accepting a role in Mean Girls: The Musical which was, at the time the show was written, an intentional (and somewhat affectionate) dig at the plethora of movie-to-musical adaptations that were appearing at the time. Cut to a few years later and an actual Mean Girls musical is now on Broadway.
- Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of people watch various episodes just because their favourite Broadway performer makes a cameo appearance (example: Jeremy Jordan showed up for five seconds in one episode and the comments on the YouTube video were 95% gushing over him).
- Shout-Out: Iron Dog could be seen as one to Nextto Normal.
