The Big Gay Musical

The Big Gay Musical is a 2009... well, Gay Musical. Your Mileage May Vary about how big, though.

The main characters are Paul and Eddie, two gay actors preparing for the opening night of The Musical Adam and Steve: Just the way God made them. It has two intertwined storylines: Paul and Eddie, trying to figure out why being gay is so hard, and their characters Adam and Steve, trying to figure out why being gay is so hard.

Tropes used in the storyline with Paul and Eddie include:

• All Gays Love Theater
• All Gays Are Promiscuous - The actors playing the angels describe themselves as "professional sluts".
• Anvilicious

Paul: Never, EVER, have unsafe sex again. Paul: Get tested, it's free. Paul: And next time, wrap it up. And this goes on and on until you get the point.

• The Cameo - Brent Corrigan, a gay porn superstar, playing the hustler Paul hires for cuddling.
• Cast Full of Gay - Really, what were you expecting with a title like that?
• Coming Out Story - Eddie.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - When Charles sings his love song to Paul.
• Gayngst - And HOW.
• Narm - Somehow every talk about safe sex sounds like a PSA.
• Never Trust a Trailer - Somehow the official trailer seems like it's a love story between Paul and Eddie.
• Nobody Over 50 Is Gay
• Performance Artist - Both main characters. And most of the supporting cast.
• Stephen Sondheim - Has a lounge named after him.
• Straight Gay - Most of the gay characters fall into this.
• What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous? - Bottoming for a bottom.
• The Woobie - David, is a completely secondary character with no storyline of his own. Yet the script makes him get HIV just to confirm it can happen

Tropes used in the storyline about Adam and Steve include:

• Alternate Character Interpretation: The Bible was written by Eve without a single word of God in it. And Cain killed Abel because Abel was singing a showtune
• Anti-Love Song: "Those men who are so gay"
• Big No - Eve whe Cain tells her why he killed Abel.
• Deliberately Monochrome - The Small Straight Play scene.
• Camp Gay - Every gay character in the musical. Including (and specially) the angels.
• Crystal Dragon Jesus - Completely inverted. Here's a guy who clames to be the God of the Bible, but lacks most of the traits commonly linked to him.
• Cure Your Gays - Played for laughs.
• Gay Aesop - Hammered in your face.
• Jerkass - Eve writes the Bible just because she wants everybody to hate gays.
• Magical Queer .

Straight Adam: I wonder if our sons are going to be cultured and stuff... or like us?

• Narm - The whole musical, in-universe.
