      I mean it may be victim-blamey, but this was actually what made it click for me that I need to change if I'm gonna get out of abuse/depression. Hell is what happens when every single time, you say "yep I got a good feeling about this one" and make the exact same choices; nothing gets better til you decide you WANT it to be better
      FWIW the guy who said "hey I'm done being sad, can I go to heaven" was actually supposed to be the protagonist, which in more capable hands I'd say reinforces the point

    You know, I remember feeling sad when you first said you were planning on ending the show. I didn't want to think about it, because I enjoyed the show ever since I found it. However, as you got closer to the finale, I found myself looking forward to it. Not because I was getting bored with the series, but because it meant that Diva was going to get her last moment of character development, allowing her (and the audience) to get some much-needed closure.
    I was kinda counting on her to meet with Donna one last time in the series, then get lifted up to Musical Heaven, but only half of my prediction came true. Oh well, it's still a nice ending. More importantly, the episode's message is true: At the end of the day, we can rise up from our shortcomings if we really want to. Donna hinted that moral to Diva during her first appearance six years ago. It just finally came full circle.
    I know I've said a lot, but I just like how well this episode worked as a conclusion to the series. Christi (and Diva), thank you. It was great to watch you, Donna, the baliff, and everyone you collaborated with over the years. I'll miss seeing a new trial every month, and I may not have been around from the beginning, - here, I don't even remember what the first episode I saw was - but I'm glad to have been part of the journey. I'll be sticking around to see what you do next with that second chance.

    Love you Diva, sad to see the series end but regardless love your work! I was a big fan of this series and followed the history behind it
    Check out the sequel Alleluia, it isnt too bad. There was supposed to be a third film that would serve as the finale and delve into more of the history of the Boss Man and the Big G himself buuuuuut that fell apart because of mismanagment and Zdunich. Seriously the development story of this series is pretty interesting read,
    ANYWAYS, thank you for the years of laughter
    Cant wait to see what you do next!

    I’m going to miss Musical Hell so much. I came across an episode a few years ago, and I was hooked. This series is what made me love musicals, and honestly, kinda makes me regret not growing up a theater kid.
    Thanks for everything, Christi!

    Years ago we became tumblr mutuals on my old tumblr (I remember a fantastic post on The Court Jester that I still see circling to this day!), and we’ve been twitter mutuals for years now, too. I’m so glad to have known you and to have had these videos to look forward to during some particularly hard times over the years! You have been a bright spot in so many lives, and an example of a UA-camr I have learned a lot from. In many ways, this channel has been just as informative as any Communication Arts of Media Literacy class! I’ll miss the videos, but I can’t wait to go back and rewatch them when I need a smile. Thank you, Diva, for all that you’ve given us over the years. ❤‍🔥🎶

    Goodbye Diva, it’s hard to believe that after so many years, Musical Hell has ended. Thank you so much for all the laughs, insight and your own passionate love and knowledge of musicals that you have shared with us, it inspired me to get into Hamilton, In The Heights, Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill, and a lot of Team Starkid’s work. Whatever comes next for you or your channel, we will support you every step of the way, so enjoy your new mortal life with your daughter, Diva, you’ve earned it.

And I hope it won’t take too long for human Diva to stop walking like Torgo XD

    Man, I can't believe this is ending. I remember discovering this channel in middle school and having the videos on in the background while doing homework. I found some new musicals to listen to between this and Know the Score, and even become fans through it. I'm really going to miss this channel.

    "It may really have something." Oh, but it does, dear Diva. As both a personal recommendation and a last send-off to one of my favorite UA-cam channels, I point you to two shows; Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel. They are each very well-written musical series' featuring characters that, design-wise, Diva would actually fit in with nicely and also topped off with a circus-theme for Hell as well as fuzzy implications about Heaven; like this movie, but better. For those looking for just a preview, I recommend a search for either "Moxxie's Bad Trip" for Hellva Boss or "You Didn't Know" for Hazbin Hotel. View them on your own time, Christie, they're both awesome!

    And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
    Twill be in the valley of love and delight.'
    A perfect send-off for a fun little series, a lovely counterpoint to Danse Macabre. Music is a common thread through our experiences, like food and art, both the lovely and the wretched and all that falls between. I love that the common thread through all of these videos has been consistent laughs, thoughtful observation and witty self-awareness. It's been a pleasure, my dear. I look forward to seeing where you and your second pair of feet eventually land. 😁🙂😘🎵🎶

    My first Musical Hell video was Happily Ever After, which really drew me into this channel. I couldn’t get enough. It even introduced me to films and musicals I didn’t know existed. This was another pleasant experience. I’d never seen Repo, but I heard things and now my interest truly is piqued. It’s sad this is the finale, but I’m confident in what the future holds. Thank you for all you’ve done, Diva. Thank you for the videos and reviews. It makes my day a little less… hellish? Nope, too cheesy. Either way, you’re made of awesomeness.

    As someone who's been watching since the beginning (heck, before the beginning since I saw the pilot version of the first episode) it is kinda sad to see Musical Hell come to an end. And hard to believe it's been 12 years, time moves so fast these days.
    And I'm sorry I never got round to starting my own review series since I was hoping to do some crossovers, ah well.

    Just like that... it's over... I didn't think Musical Hell would end so soon... but then again... it's been ten years since you started. Ever since I discovered you, I have been entranced in the world of obscure movies that are musicals. And some of the infamous ones as well. I was given the hard truth of Rudolph, the Red Nose Reindeer being nothing but a marketing ploy. I bore witness to the horror of the CGI Swan Princess sequels. I saw every inept and moronic moment in both the Zombies and Decendants movies. I got my wish when Oogieloves got reviewed and was given the lesson on how not to make a pre-school show. But most of all... I got many laughs from this series. I would have expected nothing less from this series than all the laughs I got from this series over the course of ten years.
    Of course, it's better of me to watch the actual products for myself to carve my own opinions, but sometimes I know that a movie is gonna suck when it gets featured on here. I should know because I used to love things like the GoodTimes Rudolph movie and King and I 1999. I know I'm not perfect. Nobody is. But like you said, even the worst people deserve a second chance. I'm glad that Diva got that second chance... by way of brightening up people's days, including mine. I would have had this show last for at least one more episode, so it could get a proper tenth anniversary special. But I guess that was not meant to be.
    I do hope that whatever you decide to do from now on will be entertaining and fulfilling now that Musical Hell is over. Thank you for ten years of reviewing bad, mediocre and average musicals for our entertainment, Diva. Thank you.

    Hi Diva, I've been watching your channel for several years now, and I just wanted you to know that by reviewing bad musicals, you've introduced me to several good ones. From the Phantom of the Opera movie I found the original show, from De-Lovely I learned about Cole Porter's musicals, etc.
    Thanks to you I've turned into a bona-fide musical theater fan, so your channel spread positivity in more ways than one!
