  • Award Category Fraud: Both Broadway productions have seen Trina's actress nominated in the featured category, even though many have argued that she should qualify as a lead role.
  • Irony as She Is Cast: Gay Brandon Uranowitz appears in a queer drama where he is the only grown man in the cast who's straight.
  • Queer Character, Queer Actor: From the original Broadway cast, Michael Rupert (Marvin) is gay. From the revival, Andrew Rannells (Whizzer) is gay.
  • Queer Show Ghetto: Most likely part of the reason why the original version of In Trousers, written in The '70s when society was less accepting of LGBT people, was a flop. Increasingly Averted as it was rewritten at a time when attitudes toward queer people were beginning to change, and with the other musicals in the trilogy becoming critically acclaimed.
