** Moxxie is openly bisexual and is a huge fan of musical theatre. He specifically has the hots for Creator/MichaelCrawford and is curious to know what sex with him is like and this is ''while'' being married to Millie, not that she minds though.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "Three Gays of the Condo," Homer's gay roommate informs him that "anyone who's ever written, starred in, or even ''seen'' a play is gay."

* Brenden Fraser's character in ''Film/{{Bedazzled 2000}}'' when he is loudly denying he is gay (deal with the devil 4th wish), the guy he lives with gives him a quick quiz ending with "What was the original Broadway cast of ''The Pajama Game''?" He names off 3-4 characters in as many seconds before catching himself "[[ExplainExplainOhCrap Oh my God, I AM gay!]]"
* Michael in ''Film/{{Camp}}'' certainly loves the theater. But then so do the straight boys (and straight girls), it is after all a theater camp.

* Creator/FrankieBoyle maintains that the real reason for the existence of musical theatre is to provide gainful employment for the majority of British homosexuals, who would otherwise be jobless. [[note]]Frankie's humour is not at all politically correct.[[/note]]

* Noxeema from ''Film/ToWongFooThanksForEverythingJulieNewmar'', has a love for musicals.
* Parodied [[SignatureStyle viciously]] in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice''.

* The CampGay theater director Corky in ''Film/WaitingForGuffman''.

* ''Film/PortraitOfJason'' is an experimental documentary interview film that is nothing more than a single sit-down interview with its subject, the CampGay hustler Jason Holliday. Among other things, Jason gleefully reenacts a whole scene from ''Theatre/FunnyGirl''.
* ''Film/{{Trevor|1994}}'': "I've decided that the theater is going to be my life." Cut to Trevor directing Pinky and some other boys in a rehearsal of ''Theatre/AnythingGoes''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "Three Gays of the Condo," Homer's gay roommate informs him that "anyone who's ever written, starred in, or even ''seen'' a play is gay."

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' had a Stan and Steve attending a Republican meeting, with a guard standing outside the convention room to check that there are no gays entering. For one method of searching, he yells "Clang clang clang!," which then causes a man in line to sing [[Film/MeetMeInStLouis "Went the trolley!"]] The guards then drag him away, despite his claims of just liking musicals. Of course, later the Log Cabin Republicans reveal to Stan that they're gay by means of a musical number.

** [[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E7TheThingLayStill At the end of Season 1]], the queer Armand (who hasn't explicitly identified his sexuality in Season 1, but he and Louis are in a same-sex relationship) lets Daniel Molloy know that he was once part of the ''Théâtre des Vampires''.

* On ''Series/BarneyMiller'' Inspector Luger once opines that everyone who is now or ever has been a Hollywood actor is gay - "except [[Creator/JohnWayne the Duke]] of course."

* Referenced in the first episode of ''Series/NorthernExposure'', when Maurice tells Joel about his love for musicals - "But I'm no fruit if that's what you're thinkin'."

* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'': This stereotype is one of the several reasons that Andy, a huge acapella nerd and musical theatre lover, attracts so many AmbiguouslyGay jokes. He, however, doesn't seem to be aware of the cliche at all.
