There's a Wicked oneshot "Blackout" in which Elphaba and Fiyero mock a (radio) soap opera that Galinda (and Boq) are obsessed with, when the power goes off during a pivotal moment of the show.The story pokes a lot of fun at the Ship-to-Ship Combat / Die for Our Ship and Fan Dumb seen on the ATWT message boards.
