He has not played a large role in the series, but was originally intended to be an uptight foil for Lisa, and her unconformist ways. In one episode, however, in which Lisa first meets Bleeding Gums Murphy, he criticizes Lisa's creative freedom with the piece he is conducting, and blatently hopes that the class won't suffer from her creativity.

As a child, Dewey Largo was accepted to the {{W|Juilliard School of Music}}, but never got the letter as it was frozen atop [[Mt. Springfield]]. His assumed rejection from this school could explain his eventual lack of passion for music.<ref>"[[Homer's Paternity Coot]]"</ref>

In the 17th season episode "[[See Homer Run]]," it was "visually suggested" that [[Waylon Smithers]] was caught in an act of impropriety (of a [[homosexual]] nature) with Dewey Largo and then verbally attempted to cover it up afterwards. Also in the 17th season in the episode "[[Homer's Paternity Coot]]" it is revealed that Largo was accepted to the [[Julliard School]], but never got the letter as it was frozen atop Mount Springfield. He ended up at Springfield Elementary instead.

Dewey Largo is the music teacher whom Lisa credited with proving that any piece of music could have the soul sucked out of it. He is very counter-creative and is a poor conductor.

Biography[edit]

Dewey Largo Every Simpsons Ever.jpg

As a child, Dewey Largo was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music, but never got the letter as it was frozen atop Mt. Springfield. His assumed rejection from this school could explain his eventual lack of passion for music.[2]

Largo attended to the arts camp Expressions when he was a child, and told Lisa "it's just a place where they fill people with fake dreams."[1]

Mr. Largo is the music teacher at Springfield Elementary School. He is one of the more uptight and mean teachers at the school. Largo teaches Lisa's band class where he often stifles her creativity. He only teaches simple, boring and unoriginal songs to the band causing Lisa to often cause outbursts in class by improvising on her saxophone.[3] Once, Mr. Largo had to take over for Groundskeeper Willie for a short time while Willie was working at The Gilded Truffle. He turned out to an even worse groundskeeper than a music teacher.[4] He wanted to have a sex change operation to look like Julie Newmar, but ended up becoming shorter instead because Dr. Nick mixed up his surgery file with Moe's.[5]

Sexuality and relationships[edit]

Dewey Largo is gay, but was closeted for a long time. He was once in a large car crash and was rescued from the same car as Waylon Smithers, Jr. and was quick to state that they were just carpooling.[6] Later he was in a gay pride parade and quickly changed the subject when he was asked about it.[7] He was later seen trying to enter The League of Extra-Horny Gentlemen and being denied entrance by the doorman. Shortly after that, he "outed" himself when he ran away with his boyfriend, also named Dewey.[8] At some point he entered a relationship and got married to Grady Little.[9] However, that relationship didn't last long as he ended up in a relationship with Geoffrey. They own a dog together, Poochini.[10]

He was once hit on by a drunken Edna Krabappel who proclaimed she could get Largo on Broadway if he gave her one night.[11]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • His last name is also an Italian word for a slow, broad musical tempo, a possible reference to the fact that he can make any piece of music uninteresting.
    • His last name is also Spanish for long, but this may just be a coincidence.
