Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Awesome Music: There are arguments to be made for, depending on the production/performers, "Alas for You", "Save the People", and "Day By Day", but the one song everyone agrees is amazing is the "Crucifixion/Long Live God" finale.
    • What, no love for "Bless The Lord" or "We Beseech Thee"?
    • This tropette heard a spectacularly triumphant rendition of "Beautiful City" in a middle school performance.
    • This troper gets a warm, fuzzy and content feeling every time he hears "All Good Gifts".
  • Ear Worm: Most of the songs are immensely singable, but the crown has to go to:
Cquote1

 "Day by day, day by day/Oh, dear Lord, three things I pray/To see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly/Follow thee more nearly day by day..."

Cquote2
    • I'd beg to differ:
Cquote1

 "Some men are born to live at ease/Doing what they please/Richer than the bees are in honey"...

Cquote2
      • Not to mention
Cquote1

  "We can build a beautiful city/Yes we can..."

Cquote2
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Jeffrey Mylett (Plays the recorder, wears the derby hat) has a surprisingly sizable fanbase. Unfortunately, he died of AIDS in 1986.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: The movie features a lot of dancing in front of and on top of the (still incomplete) World Trade Center
  • Retroactive Recognition: Of all the cast, the late Lynne Thigpen — in her film debut — had the most success, earning several awards.
  • Tear Jerker: the crucifixion is incredibly powerful.
    • Dear God, the Finale. Seeing Jesus get crucified is just so powerful, all while he's singing, "Oh God, I'm bleeding...oh God, I'm dying...oh God, I'm dead..." and the cast is screaming/wailing/crying/writhing in pain. This is followed by him being taken down from the cross/chain link fence and carried up the aisle to the slow, haunting melody of "Long Live God/Prepare Ye/Day by Day".
