You win.

The times are a changin'. There's a guy who plays the piano. A woman buries a baby but it ends up working out. Something about anarchists and immigrants. There are too many characters. Racism is bad. Progress.

Les Mis, Hamilton, Rent, Aida, Assassins, Urinetown, Carousel, Into The Woods, Little Shop Of Horrors, Oliver!, Kiss Of The Spider Woman, Ragtime, Shenandoah, Parade, Spring Awakening, Sweeney Todd, South Pacific, West Side Story, or Phantom???"

That's why it's a horrible explanation

A gambler trying to avoid marrying his flu-ridden fiancee bets another that he won't be able to get the biggest prude in town to fall for him, so of course, he gets her drunk.  But then he feels really rotten, makes another bet to get a whole group to show up to her Gambler's Anonymous meeting, where they all "share" and a double-wedding follows.

Are you sure you saw it twice?  Because hey aren't the girl's two aunts.  They are her grandmother and her great aunt.

A bi guy wriggles his arse a lot and tells everyone to shut up. A dead diva keeps re-appearing,

and Bette Midler stuffed up his song at his memorial.

No more clues or is it that obvious?

Oh, right. In my defense, it has been what, two years? To me, a great aunt is still an aunt (or at least that I how I refer to them in my family)

Stevia. Olive oil. Rice flour. Sad lady makes desserts to alleviate the pain of her life.

Honestly I really have no idea what's going on here. Otherwise known as really freaking good dancers on a cruise ship. One song is super reminiscent of Ilona.

An asshole and a mentally-ill man move in together, are basically married, and fail to get the proper professional help.

Everyone sleeps with each other, does drugs then is surprised when they get AIDS but are still weirdly happy about it.

Aspiring ingenue starts hearing a disturbing voice in her walls but doesn't seek medical attention or a paranormal specialist because her career is more important.

A bunch of traitors have a heated discussion about overthrowing the government.  Then they force a musician to write it all down and force all of them to sign onto it. One abstains.

Dude that talks too much goes to this extremely American town to sell instruments. One uptight broad can see past his s***, dude falls in love with uptight woman. She changes her mind when her brother speaks normal. He ends up bumping into an old amigo. Some other salesman is trying to ruin the dude's street cred. Plus every woman in that town is super gossipy.
