Coitus Uninterruptus: After Jim calls out "Starbucks" all the couples must stop their fantasy play. This is especially bothersome to Alana.

Take That!
 Slave Play (Theatre) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: During a scene transition in the Broadway production, the words "The Great White Way" are projected onto the set. The great white way is a classic nickname for Broadway, but in the context of the show it is used to criticize Broadway's racism and lack of diversity
