* BassoProfundo: Lets out a very impressive low note at the end of his first solo song. Given that he's played by [[{{Creator/PatrickPage}} Patrick Page]] (of {{Theatre/Hadestown}} fame), this is not suprising.

*** The song also has noticeable similarities to [[{{Music/JesusChristSuperstar}} This Jesus Must Die]] giving him a neat nod to [[{{Characters/JesusChristSuperstar}} Caiaphas]].

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Compared to Mildred Leyton of season one. Both are dour and puritanical [[{{ControlFreak}} control freaks]] with sordid secrets. Where Mildred was a busybody trying to gain influence and soft power, Kratt is an outright oligarch who uses financial monopolies to control the entire city, including the poilce. Whereas the citizens of Schmigadoon were naieve and easy to manipulate, the viceful Schmicagoans are completely aware of Kratt's corruption and are either complicit or ineffectual at stopping it.
