History AudioPlay / TheNewAlbionRadioHour

* RunningGag: They frequently bring back lyrics about dreams and being awake. Also Constance's "run away" verse is sung by several characters. And of course the police's catchphrase for the entire trilogy is used, twice.
** Both times are in "The Bust"
-->'''Solider:''' And on the day we come, it's over
** And again, later:
-->'''Thomas:''' And on the day we come....it's over.

* CozyVoiceForCatastrophes: Lloyd remains composed and calm even when narrating how things go awry

* {{Cult}}: The Voodoopunks are also the rebellion.

* BreakUpSong: "Discussion 2" for Thomas and Constance [[spoiler:They get back together at the end of the album, though]]

* MacGuffin: [[spoiler:the MCG serves no other purpose]].
* MadnessMantra: "Dolly-do-dolly-o-dolly!"

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Defied by Jacqueline when the story calls for her to execute [[spoiler:Thomas. She decides that he's a good person despite working for the government, and refuses to go along with it.]]

* IdiotHero: Subverted. Constance is far from stupid, but she is clueless. [[spoiler:To the point that she doesn't realize her aunt runs the resistance and her boyfriend works for the government.]] She loses this by the end, though.

* JerkassRealization: Subverted. Constance is never a jerkass, really, but she can be a bit selfish throughout most of the album. Towards the end of the third act, she realizes this and also that she can't keep running from her problems and, as the opera puts it, living in a world of dreams. She has an IAmBecomingSong, "Storyville Station", which details this development.

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: A somewhat {{Downplayed}} example, but [[LovableRogue Constance]] is the HotBlooded GulieHero Energetic Girl, to [[StraightMan Thomas's]] Savvy Guy.

* TheCult: The Voodoopunks are also the rebellion.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Constance and Thomas live after Jacqueline argues with Lloyd Allen to change the story, but she is killed by government soldiers soon after. John then sacrifices himself to give them a chance to flee the city, and while the rebels are able to storm parliament and overthrow the tyrannical government, they soon fall into infighting and New Albion ends up split into six districts that are at odds with each other.]]

* HeartbrokenBadass: Constance, after being betrayed by Thomas.

* BrokenAce: Arguably Jacqueline. She's all badass and intense, and in reality it still devastated over the death of her beloved girlfriend Dorothy.

* WorldOfBadass: Rebels, soldiers, thieves, spies, gangs of orphaned children....yep, seems to fit the bill.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Jacqueline's plan to save New Albion.

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: The album itself purposefully makes it as complicated as actually possible to tell what part of the [[ShowWithinAShow]] and what's not.

* TheSneakyGirl: Constance

* AntiHero: [[GuileHero Constance]]. She's a thief who, at the beginning, is pretty selfish, only sees what she wants to see, and is only ResignedToTheCall when she can't avoid it any longer. However, she's JustLifeRobinHood, and pretty justified in selfishness/blindness due to her DarkAndTroubledPast. And once she has CharacterDevelopment she becomes a lot more of classic hero and ''certainly''does the right thing in the end.

* TheSmartGuy: Constance is the smartest member of their team, which is saying a lot.

* BecomingTheMask: Constance goes deeper and deeper into her own head and her life as a thief, to the point where she refuses to what's right in front in her and only believes what she wants to believe

* SiblingTeam: John and Jacqueline

* DarkAndTroubledPast: All four main characters have had pretty rough lives.

* WhatTheHellHero: Jacqueline and Thomas feel this way about Constance, and her occasional selfishness, throughout the opera until the end when she does the right thing.
