* ThoseTwoGuys: Blake and Ledoux, friends of Strat and members of the Lost who don’t get as much development as Strat, Tink, Zahara and Jagwire, but are always there. Later productions removed Blake from the show and replaced him with a girl named Valkyrie, who doubles this trope with being Ledoux's [[PlatonicBestFriends platonic best friend]] (and more attracted to [[spoiler:Sloane.]])

Moved Cut Song to Trivia and added some little things
Changed line(s) 24,26 (click to see context) from:
* CutSong: “It Just Won’t Quit” and “Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)” were cut from the show but survived on the cast recording.
** "In the Land of the Pig The Butcher Is King" is cut from the New York City production, which, by removing the scene where Falco inflicts ColdBloodedTorture on the Lost, makes him a less-villainous character and [[spoiler: makes his HeelFaceTurn more palatable]]. Unfortunately, it has the side effect of removing one of Sloane's most heroic moments, [[spoiler: where she frees the Lost against her husband's wishes]], reducing her to little more than a bystander.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jagwire, Blake and Ledoux use “Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are” to admit their lives were awful even before they were frozen.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: In some productions, Tink’s song "Not Allowed To Love" is cut and replaced with him belting out a short reprise of "For Crying Out Loud" at Strat, which very much counts as this.
Added DiffLines:
* BrickJoke: Early on, the Lost propose asking for ransom for Raven, and Tink doesn’t understand the concept at all. Later, when he comes to make a deal with Falco, he demands ransom and completely fudges it, requesting only a handshake. Falco is utterly bemused.

* ParentsAsPeople: A show about eternal teenagers, rock & roll, and forbidden teenage love could easily have made the parents straightforward villains. Instead, it's clear that Falco and Sloane still have at least a bit of rock & roll in their souls, and a good portion of the show is spent on trying to rekindle their love and [[spoiler: redeem Falco]].

''Bat Out Of Hell'', billed fully as ''Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell The Musical'' is a rock musical with songs mostly drawn from the [[Music/BatOutOfHell Bat Out Of Hell]] albums.

* AbusiveParents: Falco keeping Raven locked up in Falco Towers for her entire life might be understandable given the general state of Obsidian, but keeping her on dream-suppressing drugs in the hopes it will prevent her from ''wanting'' to leave is beyond the pale. Sloane herself is a bit neglectful at worst and even has moments as a [[GoodParents Good Parent]], but of course she allows this to happen.
Added DiffLines:
* DomesticAbuse: There's no indication that Falco and Sloane's relationship has involved any of this before, except perhaps some mutual emotional abuse, but by the second act [[VillainousBreakdown Falco is decompensating badly]] and Sloane does ''not'' feel safe staying in Falco Towers once she's crossed him in a serious way.

The plot follows Strat, the poster child of a group of outcasts in the city of Obsidian called The Lost, whose bodies and minds are stuck at age 18 following the Chemical Wars, and his romance with Raven Falco, daughter of a wealthy industrialist who is just turning 18 as the story begins. Their romance is impeded by her father's zealous protection of her from the likes of the Lost and is eager to kill Strat upon hearing of him, and the jealousy of Tink, a member of The Lost whose mutation goes further and has him stuck around age 17 and acting even more immature.
