Our House is a 2003 British Jukebox Musical featuring the music of Madness (Band). The book was written by Tim Firth (who wrote Calendar Girls and Roger and the Rottentrolls, and co-wrote Kinky Boots).The show is set in Turn of the Millennium Camden Town, northwest London. It is focused around Casey Street, a residential street. The central characters are: Joseph "Joe" Casey, a young man from a family of builders. Sarah, Joe's girlfriend. Joe's dad, who made a bad decision early in his life. Kath Casey, Joe's mother. Emmo and Lewis, Joe's best mates and surrogate brothers. Emmo is more boisterous, Lewis is more sensitive. Billie and Angie, Sarah's best mates. Heavily sarcastic social climbers. Daniel "Reecey" Reece, a petty criminal who went to school with Joe. Described in the foreword to the script as "a smiling, charming, superficially likeable force of darkness". (Mr.) Colin Pressman, a middle-aged, thoroughly amoral property developer who wants to bulldoze Casey Street to make way for gentrification. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Our House (Theatre) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Kind of. It isn't long after the Point of Divergence before Bad Joe is staging break-ins at the premises of potential clients to whom he is selling alarms. However, he doesn't accelerate downhill at the same speed after that, sliding more gradually. | |

Evil Sounds Deep: Averted. The show is a jukebox musical with few arrangement changes from the original tracks, so all the male characters sing in the comfortable middle range. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain | |
| Our House (Theatre) / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Reecey. It's less to do with him having a harmless nature, and more to do with the fact that there was no reason for him to affect either Good or Bad Joe - until it turns out in the middle of Act II that he's an arsonist paid by Pressman. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Our House (Theatre) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Given the Split Timelines Plot. Good Joe gets to live Happily Ever After with Sarah. Bad Joe accidentally gets Kath killed, loses everyone who loved him, and goes to jail for the rest of his life, in a brutal Downer Ending. And the true ending: in the last 30 seconds of the show, time rewinds to Joe's sixteenth birthday, where his actions are ever so subtly different in a way which avoids the original Point of Divergence altogether. | |

Villain Song | |
| Our House (Theatre) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Played With. Bad Joe, the Villain Protagonist of the Black World, has several songs, but none of them are a Villain Song per se. Reecey, The Dragon, has "Baggy Trousers", which doesn't set out his villainous motives but gives a general impression of who he is. On the other hand, Pressman, the Big Bad, has very few sung lines and no song of his own. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Somewhere in the middle. A pretty strong theme of true love runs throughout the script, along with one good turn deserving and receiving another. However, the show is pretty cynical about government and business. | |

After his actions lead to the horrific death of his mother, he cries like a baby - but he recovers quickly and begins to think of his own fate, making it clear to Sarah how far he has fallen. | |

He wants to succeed in the same kind of business in which predatory sociopath Pressman has dominated, and he's willing to go to great lengths to do it, but he still has morals - he's just too cowardly and in any case too greedy to obey them. Pressman and Reecey are more effective predators than he is, and this is what ultimately brings him down. | |
