Shout! the mod musical was an off broadway show in 2006. A 60s Juke Box Musical, it follows five women in England, during the time, obsessed with a fictitious magazine, titled after the show itself. The characters are not named: They just go by the colors that the magazine gave to them.
Shout! includes some of these tropes!
- 20sBobHaircut: The Blue girl's is probably more 60s inspired, but she does mention her bob haircut at one point.
- The '60s: With the exception of one scene at the end, the majority of the show is about five women living in the UK in the 60s, and their growth as humans.
- Accidental Public Confession: The Blue girl, after declaring her love for a woman named Penelope. It seemed to come as a shock to her as well
- The Alcoholic: Yellow's husband.
- All Musicals Are Adaptations: Surprisingly averted, unless you believe that jukebox musicals are inherently adaptations.
- Blue Means Cold: In this case, cold doesn't mean literally cold, but the blue girl has a cold personality.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: In most productions, which model the off Broadway production, the Orange girl is blonde, the red, blue, and yellow girls are brunette (With the red girl typically having lighter hair than the blue and yellow girls), and the green girl has red hair.
- Coax Them Out of the Closet: Orange tries to do this with Blue, but she responds by implying that her husband is gay.
- Color-Coded Characters: The girls are named after colors. It's even seen as character development when Orange takes off the color she's named after and "embraces her inner purple"
- Duet Bonding: You're My World/All I See Is You for Blue and Orange.
- The Eleven Oclock Number: You're My World/All I See Is You. Those Were The Days could also fit.
- Ensemble Cast: Although one can argue that the Orange girl is most likely the main character, all five women get chances in the spotlight, and are united, despite being very different, in their quests for romance.
- Fiery Redhead: The Green Girl
- Gayngst: The Blue girl has a lot of it. She never really felt anything towards her many suitors, and she didn't understand why until she impulsively reveals that the person that she loves is named Penelope.
- "I Want" Song: "I Only Wanna Be With You" for Orange
- Jukebox Musical: Of 60s songs
- Love Makes You Crazy: The Yellow Girl's obssession with Paul McCartney leads to two examples. In the beginning, [[the Yellow girl finds Paul McCartney's comb and cherishs it. A darker version is when she marries someone who looks like Paul McCartney, which leads to her getting pregnant and abused.]]
- Mood Whiplash: From the beginning to "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", the show has a lighthearted tone, with some foreshadowing that Gwendolyn Holmes is not the woman to be listening to for advice, but nothing too dark. [[Therefore, it becomes very jarring when it is suddenly discovered that the Yellow Girl is abused by her husband, and given horrible advice to cope with that fact.]]
- No Name Given: Their real names? Never mentioned. Ironically, however, the name of the old-fashioned advice columnist that they write to is mentioned quite a few times (Gwendolyn Holmes)
- Person with the Clothing: The girls are named after the colors that they wear (Orange, red, blue, green and yellow).
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Gwendolyn Holmes tells the girls that their problems can be solved with marriage and changing their looks, even when the problem seems to delve much deeper than that.
- Purple Is Powerful: Apparently moreso than orange, because Orange gives up her signature color after the magazine tells her to change it
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Orange gets one for Gwendolyn Holmes. Gwendolyn Holmes' response is interrupted by her firing.
- Sex Addiction: The Green girl. The first thing we learn about her is that the magazine calls her "a bit of a slut". She talks about her sex life very often, which is very unusual for women in the 60s, causing Gwendolyn Holmes to scorn her.
- Shared Mass Hallucination: In the uncensored version, the girls take weed and slip into the James Bond theme and Goldfinger. In the edited version, they become possessed by the souls of dead people instead.
- Where Are They Now: During the finale, the girls state what they've been up to once the sixties was over, and they express greatfulness that they were children of the 60s.
