| 3 | A VideoReviewShow created by Christi "The Diva" Esterle in 2012, ''Musical Hell'' is hosted by [[AuthorAvatar Diva]], a demon [[MinionWithAnFInEvil with an F in Evil]] who has been shuffled off onto a small expansion shelf somewhere between the third and fourth circles of the Inferno. There, her job is to [[{{Review}} evaluate]] and punish the sins of the worst movie musicals ever created. The series posts once a month to {{Website/RVT}}, Website/RTGomerProductions, and [[http://musicalhell.blogspot.com its own site]]. |

| 5 | ''Musical Hell'' runs in tandem with two spinoffs: ''Know the Score,'' a LighterAndSofter companion piece that discusses soundtracks, film and stage musicals, theme songs, and any other form of “dramatic music” that happens to strike Diva’s fancy; and ''At the Source,'' where Diva discusses materials that have been adapted into musicals and any changes made in the adaptation process. |

| 7 | The show ended on April 24th, 2024 with a review of ''Film/TheDevilsCarnival''. |

| 163 | !! ''Musical Hell'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
| 164 | [[index]] |
| 165 | * [[MusicalHell/TropesAToF A-F]] |
| 166 | * [[MusicalHell/TropesGToL G-L]] |
| 167 | * [[MusicalHell/TropesMToR M-R]] |
| 168 | * [[MusicalHell/TropesSToZ S-Z]] |
| 169 | [[/index]] |
| 170 | |
| 171 | !! ''Know the Score'' contains examples of: |
| 172 | * CatchPhrase: "Hi, I'm Diva from ''Musical Hell,'' and I know the score!" |
| 173 | * LighterAndSofter: Rather than playing the role of CausticCritic for musicals that are at best misguided or weird and at worst borderline unwatchable, Diva explains what makes some of the best musicals what they are or examines the use of popular musical theatre narrative tropes (for example, one video is devoted to the ElevenOClockNumber, another to the concept of the IAmSong and IWantSong). |
| 174 | * OminousLatinChanting: The opening theme is "O Fortuna". |
| 175 | * PublicDomainAnimation: The title sequence. |
| 176 | * SigningOffCatchPhrase: "I'm Diva, I know the score, and now so do you." |
| 177 | * TitleDrop: It's right there in her opening and closing lines: "I know the score!" |
