Most Pokémon that evolve do so by level up, but other ways are required at times. Some only evolve in the day, at night, or in sunny or rainy weather. Some need certain moves or special items. Perhaps strangest of all is Inkay, who evolves into Malamar if you turn the console upside-down

Cabaret is an interesting musical. Instead of characters bursting into chorerography in the streets of 1930's Berlin, the songs are diegetic and all take place at the Kit Kat Club. This is intercut with the story to explore ideas like poverty, polyamory, and the rise of fascism.
