Trivia

 * While initially researching the musical, the author found similarities between it and plans for things Darius does later on in the book. Because of this, Max's role as Christine was chosen as a form of foreshadowing.
 * Max has a talent for opera, but chooses not to pursue it, as studying for and working in Musical Theatre is stressful enough.
 * A majority of Christine's costume designs contain elements from both the stage and film's costumes, but with some added features.
 * The Elissa gown keeps a mainly-white color scheme, similar to the gown from the film (though this one is more ivory rather than white).
 * The Masquerade costume keeps the element of flower accents from the movie costume (compared to the stage costume, which had star accents).
 * The Wishing gown is the amalgamation of the movie's Mausoleum and Twisted Every Way costumes, and the stage's Wishing gown; this is mainly seen in the predominantly teal/blue/green color scheme and loose-fitting sleeves, black cape, and bouquet of roses.
 * The overall style of the dress is based off Robin Hood's costume from Fate/Extra Last Encore.
 * The Aminta costume keeps such elements from the film such as the white off-the-shoulder bodice, corset, and apron.
