* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: "Monkeys and Playbills"

* YouMakeMeSic: Jeff regularly interrupts scenes to correct Hunter's grammar.
-->'''Susan''': Why are you correcting grammar, we're flying!

After the NYMTF, [tos] had a limited run off-Broadway in 2006 before closing. Two years later, the show opened on Broadway for another short run. Now showing in regional productions across the US.

In 2004, Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell decided to submit a musical to the New York Musical Theatre Festival. With six weeks to write before the deadline and a desire to submit something original rather than an adaptation, Jeff and Hunter recruited a couple of friends to help them create Theatre/TitleOfShow, the musical that chronicles its own creation.

->"''Ok, Larry, let’s fill out the rest of this form.''
->''Number one, title of show. We got that: Title of Show!''
->- ''Filling Out The Form''

* TheDanza: All four (or five, if you count Larry) characters are named after their original-cast actors. Lampshaded; Jeff and Hunter discuss in-text whether they should come up with character names or just use their own. In regional productions, Hunter's line "It would be weird if I walked up to you all 'Hey, Steve'" is changed to use the real name of the actor playing Jeff.

** During a blackout in a scene where she isn't supposed to hear Jeff's dialogue, she calls him out for eating her turkey burger.

** "Nine People's Favorite Things": the cast arranges themselves in a line at the front of the stage and sings "[[{{RENT}} Five-hundred and twenty-five-thousand, six-hundred]] people/Loving our show"

** When Hunter and Jeff are getting nervous about submitting the script, Susan deadpans [[IntoTheWoods "Don't say that, of course you were meant to have children"]]. Add Susan's earlier "I need your shoes!" in "What Kind of Girl is She?", and this play is clearly a bid to have Susan star as the Baker's Wife in the next revival. Jeff and Hunter share a moment in the first scene--"The Festival? The King's Festival? And the King had taken for his new wife--the Festival!"

--> Jeff: "It's Susan's turkey burger from earlier. Shh. Don't tell her."
--> Susan: "I can hear you, Jeff."

--->'''Jeff''': Okay, that's gross.

* FarewellMyFriend: The group dissolves in a massive fight after Hunter, too focused on making the show a hit, suggests [[TheOtherDarrin replacing Heidi with Sutton Foster.]] They make up later.
