The "Roast of Utopia" review thread got me thinking. What is your favorite FB parody of all time?

My vote goes to "Chita-Rita."

Ohhh the Patti ones are great but if I had to choose 1 it'd be anytime Liza comes out. ESP Liza One Note.

As old as it is, my favorite still has to be the Les Mis one...the turntable gag itself is worth the ticket price.

Tough one...I'd have to go with Defying Chenowith.

"Time I Said Goodbye" - the Sarah Brightman imitation is perfect - every horrible sound.

The one that stuck with me the most when I saw it was "Beauty's Been Decreased." I was dying.

Just saw it last night, and the Company spoof "Unaccompanied" had me dying, as did "Totally Bleeped" from Spring Awakening.

As far as classics, I love Chita/Rita and Ouch, They're Tight


It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.

My two favorites:
Les Miserables (less miserable than other shows, this song's too high,...)

and

Beauty & the Beast (Be Depressed)

"Being LuPone"
"Trouble In New York City"
"Alan Cumming in Cabaret" - I actually like the Liza bit before it, too. "Do the words Third Reich mean anything to you? Because they do to me!"

Those are my top three favorites.

I am in love with the Ann Miller "I'm Still Weird"...you can picture Ann's T-Rex arms flapping and her machine gun taps. Hey!

I also love "Being Lupone"... it is perfect. "Helloeverybodyhowareyoudoingtonight!!!"

I loved the Piazza parody.


A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Chita-Rita is the best overall.

I liked the Les Miz skit where they sang: "Rich folks pay 20 bucks a shirt, that has a starving pauper on it".


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I cannot sing your minor thirds.


Beyond classic, IMO.

Chita-Rita
Piazza
Into the Words

I'm sure this will change once I go see 'Utopia'. I can't wait to see the Company and Spring Awakening parodies.

I like the THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE one, myself.

"...and the sets are hideous"

and

"Everything today is totally shell-shocked (battered like a Bosnian)"


Itty Bitty Geisha? Toyland? Gypsy Pasadoble? Just a few popular favorites...

WOW! Goth and I agree on something!!
"Rich folks pay 20 bucks a shirt, that has a starving pauper on it". Is one of my all time favs.
