Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical is a fan-made stage show adaptation of the beloved video game of the same name. It is a product of the Vancouver-based musical theater burlesque comedy troupe Geekenders Theatricals. It was performed in January of 2015 at Vancouver's Rio Theatre.The show retells the story of Valve's game, that of captive test subject Chell and her robot tormenters in Aperture Laboratories. It does this with the help of clever, Portal-ized parodies of show-tunes, giving us numbers such as "Poor Unfortunate Subjects," "Suddenly Wheatley," and "Do You Hear the Turrets Sing." Fairlith Harvey, the show's GLaDOS, added additional dialogue for the show that is very much in the vein of the darkly comic world of Aperture.The entire thing is available to view on YouTube here. Its soundtrack is available for purchase here. Geekenders' home page can be found here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In June of 2016, Geekenders launched an Indiegogo campaign for their 2017 update of the show. The 2017 remount, with an updated script, set, and costumes, can be viewed here.Because the plot sticks closely to the source material, this page will only feature tropes exclusive to the musical, and spoilers for the plot of Portal 2 will be left unmarked. Tropes already present in the video game itself can be found on its page. |

Breaking the Fourth Wall |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_1e7487cd |
comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Many instances, including: Wheatley refers to his attack mode as the "boss battle sequence" and complains about having to fall repeatedly on the hard stage in the original version. Gabe Newell's face appears on the moon, in the original version. In Chapter One, Wheatley explains to Chell (not realizing who she is) why GLaDOS is currently offline, summarizing the plot of the first game and what happened in between (ie, basically nothing). Then he and Chell both turn and give very large grins to the audience. This is cut in the 2017 production In the 2017 production, Wheatley tells Chell that the cores are never supposed to disengage from their management rails "unless it's a very big production number." This refers to Wheatley being able to move around freely in the preceding musical number, "Good Morning Aperture." |

Adaptational Villainy |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_20f689e9 |
comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Wheatley comes off worse because his My God, What Have I Done? moment from The Stinger is cut. He also seems far more in control of his actions, unlike in the game where it was implied his Face–Heel Turn was due to the mainframe corrupting him. Thus, Wheatley comes off as someone who never had Chell's best interests at heart and was just using her to get what he wants. The Dark Reprise of "Suddenly Wheatley" in the 2017 production further cements this. While Wheatley comes off worse from moments being cut, Cave Johnson is much nastier because of the moments they kept in. Whereas in the game who only hear about him abusing his employees and turning a blind eye to their safety, here you directly witness it, including intentionally setting up one scientist to be killed. What's worse, the game cut out the scene where Caroline protests having her brain uploaded to GLaDOS, but the play includes it, making it clear that he subjected her to it against her wishes. |

Kick the Dog: Wheatley has a rather nasty one in the original version. After getting fed up with Space Core, Wheatley convinces Space Core he actually is in space, even acting it out with him, only for Wheatley cruelly bring him back to reality and make sure he understands that he is never going to space. It seems the creators agreed this was too cruel, and the moment is all but removed in the 2017 version, with only the final part being kept. |

Murder the Hypotenuse: Almost immediately after the scene showing Rick flirting with Caroline, Cave Johnson volunteers Rick for the most lethal test the facility is testing at the moment: the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Apparently Rick survived the process to become the Adventure Core, but it certainly wasn't for a lack of trying by Johnson. |

Bad Boss |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_3cb1d38d |
comment |
Bad Boss: The cores are terrified of GLaDOS, and during the piece 'Poor Unfortunate Subjects' it's easy to see why; throughout the scene she randomly controls their movements, attacks them, or touches them in ways that make them grimace. Wheatley spends a majority of the song on the floor in the fetal position, with the exception of the end of the song, which he spends unconscious after trying to argue on Chell's behalf. Wheatley also becomes this, in his abusing the other cores once he takes over Aperture. Cave Johnson's just as much of an unhinged lunatic in the play as he was in the musical, though he comes off as slightly better here due to his numerous Pet the Dog moments with Caroline. Even his signing Rick up for a potentially lethal test was triggered by him making obnoxious comments toward her. Though once he has Caroline dragged against her will into their new Brain Uploading experiment, it's clear even she's not safe from him. |

Insult Comic: Wheatley does a bit of this in "Why Can't the Subjects," cracking jokes about Black Mesa and humans in general. The other Cores find him hilarious. Chell does not. It serves as subtle Foreshadowing that Wheatley doesn't have Chell's best interests at heart. |

Ship Sinking: Wheatley's betrayal ends his romance with Chell real fast, with his Adaptational Villainy calling into question if it was even real in the first place. The Dark Reprise of Suddenly Wheatley from the 2017 version further cements this. |

Charm Person: GLaDOS's introductory song, "I'm Alive," features the line "Come closer, come closer." Chell does, as if entranced, and Wheatley has to yank her back.note In some performances, Wheatley is the one entranced instead of Chell. Taken Up to Eleven in the 2017 show. During the same number, GLaDOS takes control of Chell and all four of the cores, making them freeze, dance, and bow to her throughout the entire song. |

My God, What Have I Done? |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_a1b141f4 |
comment |
Wheatley comes off worse because his My God, What Have I Done? moment from The Stinger is cut. He also seems far more in control of his actions, unlike in the game where it was implied his Face–Heel Turn was due to the mainframe corrupting him. Thus, Wheatley comes off as someone who never had Chell's best interests at heart and was just using her to get what he wants. The Dark Reprise of "Suddenly Wheatley" in the 2017 production further cements this. |

Shout-Out |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The Fact Core's section of "Mr. Johnson" pays tribute to Valve. Multiple shout-outs to Doctor Who, mostly by Wheatley. Wheatley compares his partnership with Chell to be "like Rose and the Doctor." In both versions, Wheatley shouts "I don't want to go!" before being sucked through the portal into space. In the 2017 version, Wheatley bears a strong resemblance to the Tenth Doctor. Also in that version, he says "bananas are good," echoing both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. Rick and Caroline's exchange, "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Rick?" "As always, at least one more time" is lifted nearly word-for-word from Elizabeth and Will's dialogue in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. |

The cores are terrified of GLaDOS, and during the piece 'Poor Unfortunate Subjects' it's easy to see why; throughout the scene she randomly controls their movements, attacks them, or touches them in ways that make them grimace. Wheatley spends a majority of the song on the floor in the fetal position, with the exception of the end of the song, which he spends unconscious after trying to argue on Chell's behalf. |

Ship Tease: Chell and Wheatley sing a parody of Suddenly Seymour, ending with Wheatley falling over in shock after Chell kisses him on the cheek. Wheatley's betrayal ensures it doesn't last. The Fact Core also swoons over GLaDOS, while Rick flirts with Caroline. |

Duet Bonding |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_ebb57e1a |
comment |
Duet Bonding: "Suddenly Wheatley". Although the two have been working together the whole show, this song cements their relationship as partners, especially for the heretofore unmotivated Chell. Bonus points for basing the song on "Suddenly Seymour," the romantic duet from Little Shop of Horrors. |

Suddenly Speaking: Played for Laughs, when Chell, much to the surprise of the cores, speaks in a bizarre southern drawl. It's downplayed after that, as Chell remains silent. She doe outside of her solo number. |

Running Gag |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_f9f2c33 |
comment |
Running Gag: Wheatley falls down a lot. Justified since he doesn't have much experience with walking, having relied on his management rail for most of his life. Downplayed in the 2017 production, in which it only happens a couple of times at the beginning and stops after GLaDOS appears. |

Pet the Dog |
| Portal 2: The (Unauthorized) Musical (Theatre) / int_ff7f34c5 |
comment |
Cave Johnson's just as much of an unhinged lunatic in the play as he was in the musical, though he comes off as slightly better here due to his numerous Pet the Dog moments with Caroline. Even his signing Rick up for a potentially lethal test was triggered by him making obnoxious comments toward her. Though once he has Caroline dragged against her will into their new Brain Uploading experiment, it's clear even she's not safe from him. |
