History Characters / TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's very grumpy and foul-mouthed. Justified in that she starts of the show stuck working a shitty job, with a shitty boss and customers, in a town she absolutely hates. Her interactions with Paul show off her softer side.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even during her violent rampage during "Join Us and Die", she hesitates before attacking Bill, and then she and Sam start attacking Ted instead. Whether this is because she was moved by Emma's appeal to her that ([[IHaveAFamily "He has a daughter!"]]) or because of the original Charlotte and Sam's [[ItsPersonal history with Ted]] is unknown.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Zoey snottily turns down Emma's offer of a ride home during the storm because she's seen Emma's "crappy car" and doesn't want to "crash and die". [[spoiler: Zoey later unexpectedly shows up to give Emma a helicopter ride, in which they do crash and almost die.]]

* AssholeVictim: Before she's assimilated, we see her suck up to her boss to get out of work, be rude to Emma, and is dating the married Sam.

* AssholeVictim: Before she's assimilated, we see her suck up to her boss to get out of work, be rude to Emma, and is dating the married Sam.

* MeaningfulName: [[WordOfGod Nick Lang]] says giving him the name "Henry Hidgens" was a purely accidental similarity to [[Film/MyFairLady]], but [[WordOfSaintPaul Jeff Blim]] was among the people who made the connection to Robert Manion's Rex-Harrison-esque performance.

* FightingFromTheInside: In the otherwise totally PlayedForLaughs sequence "Show Me Your Hands", he has a heartbreaking moment where he almost seems to come back to normal when he looks in Charlotte's eyes... before he pulls a gun on her.
* JerkassVictim: The way he treats Charlotte makes it hard to get too worked up over Ted bashing in his skull... which just makes the fact that Charlotte ''does'' get worked up over it a bigger TearJerker.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Later in the film he vows to be a better person and declares Paul to be his best friend. When he abandons Paul seconds later he claims that while he's a better person he's still not a good person.

Mr Davidson's assistant, who seems to enjoy softball.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Comes ''very'' close to being this when she rings Mr Davidson's wife just seconds after Mr Davidson confesses that he wants his wife to choke him while he jerks off.

A colonel who shows up in the ending to usher Emily into her new life.

* HeroicTenor: It seems like Paul ''would'' be in this vocal range but it's hard to tell just from his speaking voice, since he after all does not sing because he hates musicals. [[spoiler: The ending devastatingly confirms Jon Matteson indeed has a beautifully piercing leading man tenor.]]

* VanillaProtagonist: Fairly plain in comparison to the rest of the characters, particularly Ted and the Professor

* PoliceBrutality: Makes it clear that if anyone disobeys his (conflicting) orders he'll shoot them.

* ChekhovsGun: In the YouTube version of the show you can hear the audience audibly gasp when Paul wrestles the shotgun out of Bill's hands and lets it fall to the floor, so desperate to talk Bill out of his despair he's [[spoiler: unmindful of Alice slowly reaching toward it]].

* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: Bill seems terrified that this is happening to Alice thanks to Deb and her delinquent friends. [[spoiler: It does happen in the sense that Deb and her friends were assimilated by the meteor and then killed Alice. The assimilated Alice seems happy to treat thos as basically the same thing, for the sake of taunting Bill.]]

* EvilEvolves: The assimilated start out just encouraging people to join them in singing and dancing and fleeing from violence even though they're Immune to Bullets. As Hidgens observes, they get more aggressive as their numbers grow, turning into a Zombie Apocalypse that spreads by mauling and biting people ("Join Us and Die"). [[spoiler: Once they assimilate the PEIP unit ("America Is Great Again"), they've reached the point where they can use complex military tactics and infect a person instantly with concentrated meteor radiation. They also go from seemingly taking hours to recover from fatal wounds to seconds.]]
