Reprise Medley | |
| Finale (Theatre) / int_13fc7795 | comment |
Reprise Medley: The finale, "Finally," combines this with Dark Reprise. It reprises almost every major character's "I Want" Song, including "Today is the Day," "Once in a Lifetime," "Perpetually Almost," "More Than This," "Leaving You/Me" "Break Free," and "Falling". All of these songs are given new meaning, however, by the fact that when they were sung in Act One, they were about hope, and when sung in the finale, they are about how the world is ending. | |

"I Want" Song: Most characters get one. Alex has "Perpetually Almost" about how he wants to date Tyler. "Today is the Day" is one for the whole cast, as they all sing about their goals. "More Than This" is one for both Alex and Tyler about how Tyler wants to leave her abusive relationship and Alex wants to finally ask Tyler out Dani has "Break Free" about how she wants her father to stop being overprotective of her. "Leaving You/Me" is a Counterpoint Duet version of this for both Krista and Noah about how Krista doesn't want Noah to leave for college and how Noah wants to go to college. | |

Distant Duet: The show loves this trope. Tyler and Alex get "More Than This" in Act 2, where Alex and Tyler sing about wanting to express their feelings for each other. Act 2 also contains "My Last Days" sung by Dani and Noah about their respective parents. This is made even more distant because of the fact that they have never met each other before, but are simply singing about parallel situations. | |
