Overheard in the Ambassador Theatre before a performance of Chicago.
(mom and daughter looking through their Playbill at the list of shows on the last few pages)

Daughter: Yeah, but Taylor Hicks is in it...I can't quite picture him as Danny.
Mom: No, I picture him more as Zuko.

I have quite a few & some are a bit cliche, but here goes....
"Miss Eyre, I tell you this because I want you to know. That I, with some luck. Without shame, without blame, or the curse of my name, might have been as good as you" - As Good As You from Jane Eyre
"You must never lose faith. You must never lose heart. God will restore your trust. And I know you're afraid. I'm as scared as you are. But willing yo be brave...brave enough for love." - Forgiveness from Jane Eyre
