Job's Only Volunteer |
| | We Are the Tigers (Theatre) / int_1e0b0143 |
comment |
Job's Only Volunteer: Discussed. Riley became the captain of the Tigers because no one else wanted the job. She's determined to be the best cheer captain ever, but is well aware that no one takes her or her ambitious for the squad seriously, and that the Tigers are widely considered to be the worst cheer squad in the area. Riley is far from the least competent of the team, but the Tigers are such a mess of infighting, drug abuse, insecurity, and sabotage that it reflects poorly on her abilities as a leader. |

Only Sane Man: Eva is the only girl who doesn't have a dark secret or insecurity, beyond wanting to earn money to help her parents out and go to college. "Shut Up and Cheer" lampshades this, along with the fact that, for all her common sense, she still signed up to be here. |

Cruel Cheerleader |
| | We Are the Tigers (Theatre) / int_4a2de52e |
comment |
Cruel Cheerleader: Played-with. The Tigers are capable of being unkind to Reece and Farrah, but are also very capable of being vulnerable, intelligent, and brave. Taken up to eleven with Riley in the end, who murders two of her fellow cheerleaders because she thought they were holding the team back. |

Black-and-Grey Morality: Most of the Tigers exclude girls like Reece for her weight or Farrah for her alcoholism, and decide to frame Mattie, a sweet Freshman girl they got blackout drunk, for murder. But the villain of the musical is a serial killer. |

comment |
Sanity Slippage Song: "The Breakdown". The song starts with Riley trying to motivate the others to get back to practicing, getting more and more frantic until she pulls a knife on the other girls. Granted, given the song is sung by a murderer, the character was probably not too stable to begin with. |

Dark Reprise: "The Breakdown" reprises several songs from earlier in the show, and is a Sanity Slippage Song that turns into a Villain Song at the end. In order, "Defense", "Worst Team Ever", "Phoenix", "Captain of the Team", and "Wallflower" are reprised. Funnily enough, "Before the Breakdown" is left out. |
