Are there any shows that you are so obsessed you know the whole song/dialogue from start to finish?

Almost Sweeney Todd.
And the off Broadway production of Anything Goes. But only because I'm in a production.

Posted: 2/13/06 at 6:37pmI agree jasonf. I can play the whole CD of either Rent or Wicked and I can sing along to all the parts. It's a little sad, but I'm really obsessed!

Any of the shows I worked sets for are pretty much in my brain forever whether I want them to be or not: Oklahoma!, King & I, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, South Pacific.
Outside of that, Les Miz, Urinetown and Big River, probably.

RENT, and Les Miz
I could sing along through the AIDA CD and EVITA though.

Maybe Passion. I don't have the time to listen to music as compulsively as I used to.
Years ago, I knew every word of Evita, but that's not the case anymore.

All Shook Up is the only one where I know everyone's parts. I can name every OBC member and their character, do choreography...I miss that show a lot.
I used to be able to do Wicked, but not so much now.
Full CDs: Altar Boyz, All Shook Up, L5Y, Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, BKLYN, Hairspray, Wicked, The Light in the Piazza (I don't understand the Italian, but can pronounce it), Assassins, RENT, and Spelling Bee.

I could repeat every last word of Phantom of the Opera.
I could do all the lyrics for quite a few shows, but Phantom is the only one where I know the full script verbatim.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (well perhaps I wouldn't be able to get through a couple of changed lines, but that's it). Also Rent I'm pretty sure.
And b/c of participating in shows, I know Once On This Island(my first pit, my sis was stage manager, I read her script all the time), Fame: the Musical (I asst. stage managed myself) and West Side Story(adore it, have played in the pits twice, so I've heard the show done straight through more than 10 times.
I knew Harvey for a while, but we did that show 10th grade, so it's prob been too many years for me to fully remember.
Liotte, was expecting you to have quite a few
