Love In Hate Nation is an original musical written by Joe Iconis of Be More Chill fame. It premiered at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey in November 2019. Set in The '60s, it tells the story of sixteen-year-old Susannah Son, a Black aspiring musician who is sent to a girl's juvenile hall following a suicide attempt. Run by the tyrannical Miss Asp, National Reformatory for Girls, or "Nation" for short, is a decrepit and oppressive institution where Susannah encounters all kinds of misfits — including their leader, resident bad-girl Sheila Nail. Romances blossom, fights break out, and revolutions are born, all set to some catchy vintage tunes. | |

Fangirl: Plenty. Susannah for Black-led Girl Groups, Sheila for rock bands and Pete Seeger, Ya-Ya for science fiction, and so on. Miss Asp worships ideals of white, conservative femininity like Doris Day. Even Francis is a fanboy for the Beats. In the epilogue, we see In-Universe ones for Susannah after her music career took off and she inspired future generations as a Civil Rights and gay rights icon. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_13646b1b | comment |
My Friends... and Zoidberg: During "Life In Hate Nation," every girl gets a big ensemble introduction of her name and characteristics, except for Ya-Ya, who pleadingly tries to get them to join in, establishing her place amongst the girls. They only join in when she starts crying that nobody likes her. This becomes a bit of a Running Gag with her, although the girls become more protective as the show progresses. | |

Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Miss Asp was actually progressive before being thrown into Nation at the behest of her father. During canon, after having been tortured by electroshock "therapy," she is oppressive and bigoted. | |

Villain Song / Villainous Lament: "Miss Asp's Song I" and its reprise discuss her conservative world views and the internal struggle that led to them, as well as her anguish and horror in the face of a changing world when she had no choices as a woman. To a lesser extent, "Doc Shock" and "Francis's Song." | |

Only Sane Man: Sheila appears to be this at first, being down-to-earth, direct, relatively laid-back and the only inmate who doesn't freak Susannah out. An interesting case, considering she describes herself as being "a basket case" and "fucked in [her] head" and indeed appears to suffer from some form of mental illness, having attempted suicide in the past. | |

Flashback Echo | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_2e9641d7 | comment |
Flashback Echo: "This Is The Way" has Kitty instructing the girls to conjure something horrible someone has done or said to them, and then picturing that person being eaten alive by ocelots as they inhale and exhale their cigarette smoke, in order to look "deeply tortured" and rebellious while doing so. Although it's Played for Laughs in this instance, Susannah frequently has less comedic flashbacks of cutting or painful things Francis has said to her, particularly the times he's tried to pressure her into sex or marriage, and insulted and berated her with racist and homophobic remarks when she refused him. | |

| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: Most people, even Sheila, are skeptical of Susannah's love of Girl Groups and nonsense syllables in music. Lo and behold, "Operation Sha-La-La," whose name was derided by many of the inmates, became the name of Susannah's hit band. | |

| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_320c6858 | comment |
Everything Has Rhythm: In "Solitary," the inmates, with the exception of Susannah and Sheila, are banging various things and body parts against the walls and pipes of Nation out of boredom, but because "Love in Hate Nation" is a musical, this banging is rhythmic. | |

La Résistance | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_34dd5f3 | comment |
La Résistance: Naturally, as it is The '60s. The denouement of the show relies on a "Revolution in the institution," where Susannah overcomes her fears and leads the girls not only stage a prison break, but fight for civil, LGBT+, and feminist rights. Francis thinks he's a part of this, meeting Susannah at a demonstration for environmental conservationism, but he's still against gay rights and is more interested in appearing good than actually doing any good. He clearly uses his interracial relationship for social clout and personal gratification, still treating Susannah as his inferior and insisting she should be a homemaker. | |

Proper Lady | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_3545b7df | comment |
Proper Lady: Miss Asp believes herself to be this and claims to want to shape the "garbage girls" in her care into this. A large part of Susannah's arc deals with her struggle with wanting to fit into this ideal (mostly associated with the safety and privilege 1960s American society would deny her because of her race) versus wanting to become who she truly is, a musician and a fighter for equality. Dorothy also champions herself as a "proper Southern homemaker through and through," but girly as she is, she's a lot more rebellious than the archetype would suggest. | |

Teens Are Monsters: Subverted quite thoroughly; while the girls of Nation are introduced as an intimidating bunch and Miss Asp, Buzz, and Francis all have this view of them, their crimes and turn towards violence is depicted very sympathetically as being a result of the oppression and abuse they have faced; the audience is meant to root for their violent uprising at the end, considering the Asshole Victim status of those they're fighting. | |

Character Development | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Everyone goes through it to an extent, but Susannah and Sheila have the most significant ones. Susannah starts off as a shy, frightened girl struggling with suicidal depression and trying to find where she fits into society, and ends the show as the leader of a resistance movement, proudly owning every part of herself as a mentally ill Black lesbian who wants to use her music to change the world. Sheila, who starts off as a tough, guarded rebel who doesn't want to depend on anyone and clings to her cool image to cope, completely melts when she falls in love with Susannah, and becomes a much warmer, more openly emotional person with restored faith that the world can change. | |

Morton's Fork / Sadistic Choice: When Miss Asp finds Susannah and Sheila about to kiss, if Susannah tells the truth and confesses that she wanted to kiss Sheila, she and Sheila would both potentially suffer the same fate as Harriet and her lover. On the other hand, if Susannah lies and says Sheila forced the kiss on her, she will be "free" to live with the other inmates, but Sheila will be the one in pain. Susannah takes the latter option in this case. | |

Manipulative Bastard | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Miss Asp psychologically manipulates the girls, alternating between breaking them down for their crimes, perceived or otherwise, and promising them rewards she seldom (if ever) delivers on if they comply with her wishes. She also specifically cultivates rivalries and resentment to pit the girls against each other, convincing them that they are one another's enemies, rather than her, to stymie the formation of camaraderie or solidarity. Francis may also qualify to a lesser extent, as while his lectures to Susannah on the privilege of being in a relationship with a rich white man do get to her, but his pathetic attempts at manipulating her into sex and later, marriage, ultimately fail. | |

Wrong Guy First: Francis to Susannah, albeit more of a complex case than you'd usually see in a musical. It is gradually revealed that in addition to having a serious case of Entitled to Have You, a large part of their relationship is predicated on Francis wanting to date a Black girl to feel and appear more progressive than the rest of his peers. On Susannah's end of things, she's frequently uncertain about her relationship with Francis, thanks to the rotten way he treats her and later, her gradual realization that she's a lesbian. She feels like she has to stay with him out of a mixture of guilt, fear of further ostracism, a desire for acceptance, and because they both know his privilege can provide her with opportunities she otherwise wouldn't get. | |

Implied Rape | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_4f362a27 | comment |
Implied Rape: Judith is implied to have been raped by her father. It's not outright stated, but she cut off his penis and insists that it was an "appropriate response to the things he'd done to [her]." | |

BSoD Song | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_512b00e0 | comment |
BSoD Song: The Act 1 finale "I Hope" is one for Susannah after she lies about Sheila out of fear and is locked up in Miss Asp's office for the night, sending her into a downward spiral about her suicidal impulses, her guilt, her unwillingness to marry Francis, and seeming lack of options as a Black lesbian in the 1960s. Sheila's verse of "Solitary" also counts as she succumbs to despair after having her heart broken by Susannah. | |

Not a major case of this, however; he is far from the type of chivalrous person who would do so, and acts more out of fear when Judith threatens him into doing what Susannah says. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Plenty, justifiably as this is in part an Affectionate Parody of a bad-girl-in-jail Exploitation Film. The villain, Miss Asp, is cruel and powerful, a fitting name for a poisonous cobra that used to symbolize Egyptian royalty; Judith even calls her a "snake" when she betrays her trust. Susannah Son (sounds like 'sun') wears a lot of yellow, and while her character struggles to find happiness, she is definitely full of light and kindness. Kitty Minx prides herself on her beauty and fabulous and flirtatious demeanour. Additionally, she's a fan of Honey West, wanting a pet ocelot of her own. An ocelot is a type of wildcat - in other words, a kitty. Ya-Ya's real name, Gloria Meeks, describes her nature. Sheila Nail, additionally, suggests the character's toughness (evoking the expression "tough as nails"). Even the orderly, Buzz, has a Running Gag where he's driven crazy by incessant buzzing of the front doorbell to the prison. More subtly, Judith Ramone could be a reference to the Biblical Judith, who beheads an enemy general who lusted after her. Famously, Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi depicted the scene with herself as Judith and her rapist as Holofernes. Judith Ramone's crime? She castrated her father after years of enduring his sexual abuse, removing another "head." | |

Enforced by Miss Asp as a control tactic when she forces Susannah to beg her not to cut up her ukulele strings; it's implied this is far from the first time she's done this to the girls. | |

| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_6e37c196 | comment |
Once Done, Never Forgotten: To Sheila and Kitty at least: Judith outing Harriet as a lesbian to Miss Asp, leading to Harriet getting (unintentionally, but horrifically nonetheless) electrocuted to death. Miss Asp ordering Harriet to be electrocuted at a slightly higher level than advisable, leading to the above. | |

Opposites Attract: The emotional, shy, fearful, stammering innocent Susannah, desperate to fit into society, and the aloof, tough, openly rebellious troublemaker who rejects social standards, Sheila, fall in love. They even share a song, "The Other One," about all the ways in which they differ despite both being outcasts. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Susannah wears bright yellows and reds, showing her innocence and attempts toward an optimistic outlook, while Sheila wears a black leather jacket, cementing her cynical and rebellious status. The other girls' outfits reflect this trope as well; Kitty, who paints herself as a fabulous flirt wears red, girly Dorothy wears blue, and sci-fi fan and oddball Ya-Ya wears bright green. Antagonistic Judith wears dark colours to reflect her typical emotional state. | |

| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_78e8eba5 | comment |
"I Am" Song: Plenty. The tail end of Sheila's introduction in "The Three Failed Escape Attempts of Sheila Nail" is the most straightforward example. "The Other One" is one for both Sheila and Susannah, as the girls bond and discuss their respective views on being outcasts. Also, "Masochist," Kitty Minx's Act 2 showstopper about her pride in her trans identity. Finally, some parts of "Life In Hate Nation" that introduce each respective inmate are this, particularly Judith's verse. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Plenty, with poor Susannah on the receiving end of most of them. Francis dishes them out cruelly to Susannah whenever she doesn't go along with what he wants, Sheila gives her a biting one after she betrays her, and "Solitary" is one from all the inmates, including herself. Miss Asp frequently gives the "garbage girls" these to beat them down, most significantly to Judith and Sheila. On the more heroic end of things, Kitty gives one to Judith for betraying Harriet, and Susannah gives an epic one to Miss Asp during the climax. | |

Destructive Romance | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_8d0461e2 | comment |
Destructive Romance: Susannah and Francis's romance is undoubtedly an emotionally abusive relationship. Francis dates Susannah solely because she is Black for social clout among his progressive college friends, and he attempts to coerce her into having sex with him - not to mention Francis also being racist, sexist, and homophobic towards her. | |

Crazy Enough to Work | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_8f9f71a8 | comment |
Crazy Enough to Work: Susannah knocking her and Sheila's Morse Code beat on the pipes leading to the solitary confinement cells in the hopes that she'll recognize it and knock back, giving the signal that she's alright and can still be rescued. Operation Sha-La-La as a whole may qualify, too, relying largely on the girls' skills, scrappiness, and togetherness. | |

| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Miss Asp, a fire and brimstone tyrant who rules Nation with an iron fist first has her dreams crushed, then has Nation, which she helped build, burn down with her still in it - doubly poetic since it was her own hatred that got her daughter burned alive. She's seen in her last moments desperately pointing a camera at herself, desperately trying to get that perfect picture she wanted from Life Magazine. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Miss Asp, big time.

She tightens the already restrictive rules of Nation and later tries to kill Sheila with a pair of scissors during the climax. | |

Out of the Closet, Into the Fire: This happens twice before the events of the show and once over the course of the show. Before the show, Kitty is outed or comes out as transgender to her father/parents and is sent to juvie hall, and Harriet is outed as a lesbian to Miss Asp by Judith and killed, making her love interest kill herself. During the show, Miss Asp walks in on Susannah and Sheila's Almost Kiss at the party and puts Sheila in solitary. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Plenty. Comedic or tender moments are frequently followed by violent or upsetting scenes and vice-versa. The primary example would be the Act I finale; the tender bonding moment between Susannah and Sheila, followed by a romantic duet and their Almost Kiss, is brutally interrupted by Miss Asp, who gets into a violent altercation with both girls, destroys Ya-Ya's beloved doll, intimidates Susannah into betraying Sheila, and locks the former in her office while sending the latter off to Solitary. The reveal of Judith's backstory is also this. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: This mostly comes from the antagonists, Miss Asp and Francis, who respectively symbolize the conservatism the heroes must fight and the self-serving "college revolutionary" types who are no better than those they claim to be fighting. However, even some of the girls fall into this, too, it being The '60s; outdated terms are used for Black people, many of the characters make casually racist remarks, and amongst the inmates, there's a lot of homophobia and transphobia. The difference is, of course, that the girls later overcome these views. This trope ties in pretty strongly with the themes of the show as the characters struggle with and eventually combat internalized bigotry, taking on views that are more popular today as they are inspired to form and join various social movements. | |

Dysfunctional Family: Several: Kitty's father made her go to juvie for being transgender. Susannah's adoptive family is harsh to her, sending her to juvie merely for mental health reasons.They also do not pay much attention to her. Judith being raped repeatedly by her father. Miss Asp had her own daughter electroshocked. | |

Have I Mentioned That I Am Heterosexual Today: Susannah, when talking about Francis and her experiences with boys. She repeats over and over what a 'marvellous opportunity' marrying Francis, who is wealthy and white, would be, most likely repeating what she was told by him. When Sheila hears this, she offhandedly talks about the many flings she's apparently had with guys... right before singing a duet where she bonds with Susannah. | |

Shout-Out: Several, particularly to musicians, writers, and artists of The '60s. Most significantly is the significant Morse Code rhythm shared between Sheila and Susannah, a direct reference to the beat of "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, of whom Susannah's a huge fan. Miss Asp, meanwhile, tries to push the girls to model themselves off of June Cleaver. | |

Heartbeat Soundtrack: The love Leitmotif for Susannah and Sheila, even described as their heartbeats in "Oh Well."

You Are Worth Hell: Susannah risks severe punishment when she sneaks into Solitary to tell Sheila the plan to bust her out, and even risks getting caught when she plays their love song for her in the hallway despite Sheila's warnings. She is willing to face whatever Asp might do to her if it means breaking Sheila out of solitary confinement and rescuing her from abusive administration of ECT. In turn, Sheila risks her life physically fighting Miss Asp and Buzz not once, but twice, to defend Susannah. | |

Action Girl: All the girls become Action Girls during Operation Sha-La-La when putting their skills mentioned in "Life in Hate Nation" to use. Sheila specifically has been an Action Girl since she was eight, defying authority and surviving at every turn. Judith, too, could qualify, as she survived her father's sexual abuse by cutting his penis off. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Or bad girls, as it turns out - the sweet and shy Susannah is almost immediately infatuated with Sheila's leather jacket, heavy eyeliner, rebellious attitude, and many stories of her failed attempts to escape Nation. It's Sheila's feistiness and James Dean affectation that eventually inspires Susannah to become a crusader for her beliefs, too. | |

Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Sheila, practically a female James Dean in dress, aura, reputation and in attitude, fits this trope to a T. When first realizing she has feelings for her, Susannah moons over her hair being "black as a feather." | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: Par for the course with a Joe Iconis work. The show's musical style is catchy and upbeat, said to be a riot grrl re-imagining of 60s Girl Group and blues tunes, with some early rock thrown in. The lyrics, meanwhile, aren't joking around from the get-go, discussing racism, psychiatric abuse, homophobia, transphobia, attempted suicide/suicidal thoughts, solitary confinement, betrayal and more. In-Universe with Susannah's early music; Sheila points out the dissonance between the subject matter of Civil Rights songs she performs for her and her love of cheery nonsense syllables ("What's with all the sha-boop sha-boop?"), inspired by artists like the Ronettes. Susannah insists there's place for both - something they both realize when "sha-la-la" becomes the Arc Words for their burgeoning star-crossed romance. | |

Last-Second Chance | |

Last-Second Chance: Susannah offers Miss Asp a last chance to rebel with her and the inmates just before they get rid of Nation forever. Of course, Miss Asp does not take this chance. | |

Sympathy for the Hero | |
| Love in Hate Nation (Theatre) / int_fe938414 | comment |
