Game of Thrones as ’90s characters

On the DVD commentary for this episode, Joss Whedon says that many of the songs he wrote for this musical were conscious references to different musical theater styles and composers. For instance, Whedon characterizes “Going Through The Motions” as an “I want” song in the tradition of the opening numbers sung by heroines of Ashman-Menken Disney musicals such as “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid and “Belle” from Beauty and the Beast (albeit with what he calls a Stephen Schwartz ending). He says that “I’ll Never Tell” is his 1930s “Astaire/Rodgers” number, and he likens “Walk Through The Fire” to the four-part “Tonight Quintet” that introduces the climactic moments of the end of the first act of “West Side Story.”
"The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it."
