* FandomRivalry: ''Be More Chill'' has had an odd-duck reputation of being "for zoomers" in the notoriously catty Broadway scene, facing off against old, established musicals. It only intensified when it was reported Creator/StephenSondheim walked out of ''Be More Chill'' during intermission, causing even more flame wars.

** Michael In the initial Two River production in 2015, Michael's sexuality is widely left ambiguous. Because of that as well as the lack of a Two River bootleg allowing for more room for interpretation, many fans at the time headcanoned to have a pride Michael as being gay, and often portrayed him as wearing an LGBT flag patch on his hoodie, to the point where almost every new production of the show has included it, even jacket. The LGBT flag patch was made official in the 2018 off-Broadway one.Off-Broadway run and the story hints more at him being gay now. Official productions from here on keep this, making it canonical.

** Fans came to the consensus that Rich used to have a lisp before his Squip made him work past it. This never received any nod in the Off-Broadway run, but it became canonical once it moved to Broadway - at the end of the show, once the Squip is gone forever, he has a lisp again.
