comment |
Bare, or bare: a pop opera, is a musical by Jon Hartmere, Jr. and Damon Intrabartolo. The musical focuses on the relationship between two homosexual Roman Catholic students and the challenges they face with their own identities and others' perceptions.The story centers on the school's theater production of Romeo and Juliet. Peter Simons and Jason McConnell have a secret relationship. Peter is comfortable with his sexuality and the relationship (and has been wanting to tell his mother he's gay since he was 12), while Jason, a popular athlete, is hesitant to come out due to his religious beliefs and his fears about the impact the information would have on his relationships with his parents, friends and life. While the first musical number, "Epiphany", features Peter having a nightmare about his fears of being shunned by everyone he knows after coming out, Peter, unlike Jason, knows that he is gay and has accepted it as a fact. Peter worries about the social impact coming out would have, but he still wants to come out. Jason, on the other hand, is still struggling with, "Am I gay or not? Is my loving Peter a sin the way the Church says it is? Wouldn't my life be ruined if everyone found out?" There are other characters, such as Jason's twin sister, Nadia McConnell (aka Plain Jane Fat Ass), Ivy Robinson (the foil to Peter; her main problem comes from falling in love with Jason), Matt Lloyd (the guy who comes in second to Jason in everything), Diane Lee (the Perfect Catholic Girl), The Priest (who perfectly parrots Catholic doctrine but who has no compassion), Sister Chantelle, Claire (Peter's divorced mother), and Lucas (the school's drug dealer).The students experiment with drugs, sex and alternative beliefs to their religion. Hilarity Ensues. Except it doesn't.It was never on Broadway, but briefly ran off-Broadway in 2004 after opening in Los Angeles in 2000. It returned as a book musical (with many songs and characters changed or omitted) to off-Broadway in 2012. The studio recording was released in 2007. |

Fairytale Motifs: These show up consistently, and are especially apparent in "Ever After" — which is essentially a break up song told in references to fairytales, heroes, and soulmates. |

comment |
Crystal-Ball Scheduling: Played with. Jason dies for real on stage while playing Romeo, as a result of a secret relationship coming to light, but not during what's traditionally the character's death scene. Jason and Ivy, who plays Juliet, aren't the real relationship the show is riding on, but they do hookup. Jason and Peter, who is playing Mercutio, are playing best friends, which is how others outside see them, but they are actually a couple. |

BSoD Song |
| | Bare: A Pop Opera (Theatre) / int_512b00e0 |
comment |
BSoD Song: Peter and Ivy both have them. As does Claire, after Peter attempts to tell her about his sexuality. Jason has one, too, although YMMV on whether it's or "Once Upon a Time," where he mourns his lost relationship and gives himself over to God or "Cross," where he looks to the priest for comfort only to be told that his sexual orientation is "not okay". Given that these songs are back to back, as him giving himself over to God involved confession, both songs can be seen as being a BSOD two-parter. |

comment |
Confessional: Confessions are a frequently used plot device here. "Confession" is a directly named, lively group number about how confession is arbitrary. "Cross" is Jason's confession where he asks Father Flynn if God still loves him. Father dances around the question with empty platitudes about how Jason needed to deny his sexuality. He refuses to show the empathy that Jason needed in that moment. |

Cure Your Gays: Peter at various times attempted to "pray the gay away". He talks blatantly it about "Role of a Lifetime", in passing in "See Me", and in "Bare" about how it didn't work. It is implied that Jason has tried extensively to do so as well.Jason sleeping with Ivy was a more visceral example of him trying to force himself into being straight. |

Song of Prayer |
| | Bare: A Pop Opera (Theatre) / int_c809bb38 |
comment |
Song of Prayer: This is inevitable really given that this musical is sung through and all of the characters are Catholic in a Catholic setting. "Are You There?" and "Once Upon a Time" are probably the most straightforward examples, but these themes run throughout the show. Several songs incorporate sections of traditional prayers into the lyrics. |
