"Musicology 101: Songs of the Theme" was a Radio Play produced for CONvergence 2018 in Bloomington, Minnesota. It was performed on July 7th, 2018.

This story takes place after "Phoenix," "Final Curtain," and "Endgame." It is a non-canonical crossover between Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Young Justice, as well as the unproduced spin-off Black Manta's Celebrity Hot Tub (which received equal billing along the other three shows on all scripts). It is also a direct sequel to "Religious Studies 101: A Handful of Thorns," "Recruits," and "The Cosmos," as well as the first musical Radio Play, with all accompaniment performed by Kristopher Carter, one of the composers for The Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice.

Summary

Tidbits

  • When the Young Justice: Outsiders comic tie-in was released at the beginning of January 2019, this story was adapted into a canon form (or maybe the Radio Play was created by altering what was already planned at that point).
  • Angela and Lexington have known designation equivalents in the series (B27 being Arrowette and B29 being Thirteen), but Spider-Man does not as of yet (B31). Despite this, their counterparts do not appear in the comic Torch Songs.
  • "Spitfire" is the name given to the pairing of Wally West and Artemis Crock, named after Kent Nelson's advice to Wally to "find your own little spitfire, one who won't let you get away with nothin'."
  • The Stunt-Grunter is a pay-off of the well-established distaste Marina Sirtis has for impact grunts, previously covered heavily in Recruits.
  • "Megan's Torch Song" was specifically composed for this Radio Play by Kristopher Carter with lyrics by Greg Weisman.
