* SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl: Audrey counts as a subversion. She ''thinks'' she's one, but she's really TheIngenue.
** Right before "Suddenly Seymour" she implies, but doesn't outright state, that [[spoiler:she moonlit as a stripper when the flower shop was doing poorly, and met Scrivello while working that job]]. Still, that doesn't make her a SeeminglyWholesomeFiftiesGirl by itself.

Added DiffLines:

* LaceratingLoveLanguage: A cut song, "The Worse He Treats Me", would have {{discussed|Trope}} and {{parodied|Trope}} this trope, as Audrey discusses her relationship with her abusive boyfriend Orin, taking his beatings as a sign of love. The song was meant to show more of Audrey's self-loathing mindset than Orin's actual affection, but the writers realized the song was in poor taste regardless and cut it.
