i think my favorite thing ever about christine canigula is that her characterization is served by the way her music is structured. in all three of her solo/duet moments (i love play rehearsal, a guy that id kinda be into, & guy that id kinda be into reprise) she ends those songs in a purposefully unpredictable way - she refuses to end on a rhyme and, in the case of both “guy that id kinda be into”s, refuses to do what the story expects of her as jeremy’s love interest.
during the play, she ends her verse by singing “this feeling is new/jeremy, i love you”. and jeremy realizes that it isnt her because it’s too predictable. it ends the way the audience expects and christine would never do that. he knows her too well to blindly believe that she would play into the musical format. god i love this way of enforcing characterization its so awesome
