comment |
One morning in 1985, five high school students were forced to give up their Saturday to sit in detention, where they learned about themselves and became friends. Unfortunately, this was the last day of the world, as World War III caused The End of the World as We Know It, leaving the five kids and the janitor as probably the last people on earth.The Last Breakfast Club is a Jukebox Musical sequel to The Breakfast Club. Allison, Andrew, Bender, Brian, and Claire have been stuck in the library at their high school for years, as the stress of prolonged lockdown and the awareness that everyone they've ever known is probably dead weighs on them. When visitors from the future let them know they must leave the library in order to restart civilization, the central teens, the school Janitor, and their zombified Principal must face truths about themselves and discover how to create a new, better world.Years of lockdown have fundamentally altered the characters. Claire, Bender, and Andrew have forgotten their development from the movie, as she returned to her Alpha Bitch ways, while Bender and Andrew spend their days tormenting each other and fighting a growing attraction. Allison has become more politically engaged, while Brian remains The Heart of the group.The Janitor has gone from the Voice of Reason to The Fundamentalist, believing that the apocalypse is God punishing the world for its sinfulness. Vice Principal Vernon, in an effort to save the students, has turned into a Friendly Zombie.Old relationships end and new ones are formed, the characters learn about themselves, and they all must face what their lives would look like outside the library. |

Villain Song: Vernon's verse in "We're Not Gonna Take It". Averted with "Dead Man's Party", as it serves to humanize Vernon. |

Family of Choice: In Brian's essay, which he leaves for Vernon at the end of the musical, he writes, "We found out that each of us is more than just a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, a janitor, or a criminal. We're a family. And you know what? We owe it all to you." |
