So here's the game: Post a line or two from a Broadway show that is "advice." For example, MAME tells to "open a new window." Whoever guesses the show that the advice is from, posts another line. OK, I'll start:
"Never give anything away (away, away) that you can sell."
What show?
"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
