X Meets Y/Theatre
Examples of X Meets Y/Theatre include:
- The musical Avenue Q has been described as "South Park + Sesame Street + Friends", while the creators have described it as Sesame Street meets Rent.
- Adam Tettle's Misha is best described as It's a Wonderful Life + Superbad. Naturally, it's Better Than It Sounds.
- A Night in the Old Markeplace is basically Fiddler on the Roof meets The Black Rider.
- A Shoggoth on the Roof is Fiddler on the Roof meets H.P. Lovecraft. Literally.
- The Fantasticks has been described as "Romeo and Juliet meets Reality".
- Zombie Prom is Grease meets zombies. Actually, there's only one zombie.
- Little Shop of Horrors is best summed up as Edgar Allen Poe meets a Disney musical. Which makes sense, considering Alan Menken and Howard Ashman did the score.
- Dog Sees God is You're a Good Man Charlie Brown meets Spring Awakening.
- The Skin of Our Teeth: Our Town meets Hellzapoppin.
- Pippin is Candide meets The Fantasticks.
- Starship is The Little Mermaid meets Aliens
- The Green Goblin in Spiderman: The Musical has been described as looking like "the bad guy from the end of The Mask meets Megatron from Michael Bay's Transformers movie meets Nathan Lane in The Birdcage."
