* RepriseMedley: The finale, "Finally," combines this with DarkReprise. It reprises almost every major character's IWant song, including "Today is the Day," "Once in a Lifetime," "Perpetually Almost," "More Than This," "Leaving You/Me" "Break Free," and "Falling". All of these songs are given new meaning, however, by the fact that when they were sung in Act One, they were about hope, and when sung in the finale, they are about how [[spoiler:the world is ending.]]
