Ah, favorite little moments on an OBC...

I totally agree with the Rent and Les Mis moments.
-Wicked-Defying Gravity, "It's MEEEEEEEEEEEE..." until the end

There's definately more I just need to think about it.

You know, I've heard so many versions at this point I had to go back and check to see if it is or not, and you are completely right. So I have to change my response to, "So if you care to find me..."


I feel kinda silly now.

OBC Rent on the I'll Cover You (reprise) the last line the choir sings "Seasons Of....loooovvveee" with Collins in the background.

OBC Phantom of the Opera: Brightman's "soar" on the "Raoul, I've Seen Him" track.

OBC Les Mis: Red and Black, "the color of despair." The way he hits despair...wow

When Headley joins in the song Elaborate Lives in Aida. "We...all...leeeeaaddd such elaborate lives." Beautiful.

Those drum beats that come in before Sherie starts singing "Oh, now I believe in lookin'" in My Strongest Suit, Aida.

Aida, again: When Sherie sings "Oh, I Know the Truth" and she kind of holds the "I" for a country rock feel.

Little Women: In The Fire Within Me, the part where the tune changes back to the melody of Astonishing and she reprises it.

Little Women: Some Things Are Meant to Be. That little pause then "All my life I've lived for loving you...Let me go now." Breaks my heart every time.

There's more, lots more, but I'll continue later :)

The "I'm beautiful" line for "I'm Here" from TCP. I cry just thinking about it.

I love the little additions on the latest CD version of the Gypsy OCR…

That choke in Merman’s voice on “All your life and what does it get you…” and (especially) Sandra Church erupting with laughter at the end of “All I Need Is The Girl.”

I still love Colm Wilkinson's "Two-four-six-oh-ooooooooNEE!" on the OBC of Les Mis, and the aforementioned Eponine/Fantine harmony in the finale, particularly on that recording.

---

mmm...I must say, in "Follow Your Heart" from Urinetown...when Hunter Foster and Jennifer Laura Thompson sing "laughter and GLADNESS..." It always makes me just want to kiss someone.

From A New Brain, during And They're Off when Malcolm Gets sings "what was lost WAAAAS not found" it's just brilliant.

Gavin Creel on the last note of What Do I Need With Love always makes me very happy.

TSOM - Mary Martin's chuckle at end of "Do Re Mi."

MFL - the dance after "Rain in Spain"

CABARET (1966 OBC) - Fabricated for the recording but the little reprises of "Meeskite" inserted in the finale.

PETER PAN - "You won't forget to come for me Peter? PLease. PLEASE don't forget!"

COMPANY - end of Barcelona..April's "Ok I'll'Stay" follwed by Robert's "Ohhh god!!"

CAROUSEL - John Raitt's segment "When I have a daughter..." restored for the OBC (but not on any other recording.)

DAMN YANKEES! - The final resprise of "Heart" especially the orchestral flourish at the end

SWEENEY TODD - the sound effect created for the recording of the chair the body sliding across the stereophonic field left to right then a final plop. Brilliant!

SUNDAY IN THE PARK - again a change for the recording but I love how the record begins with the pianio arpeggio BEFEORE Mandy's first spoekn line and how the instruments creep in until he calls out harmony and the music ripples underneath him. that's cast album production at its finest.

RAGTIME - the bonus orchestral suite at end of Disc Two

---

Chess (any version)-- The music RIGHT after "When I was twelve my father moved out"

Assassins -- When Hinkley and Fromme come together on "I am unworthy of your love..." for the first time

Baby -- the tempo change on "Maybe we don't mean that much you and I..."

Secret Garden - Mandy's slip on Lily's Eyes -- when I heard the London recording it didn't sound right NOT having that mistake in there because I'm so used to it.

Carnival -- The very end of "Everybody Likes You" when Orbach sings "no one, no one, likes me." I have no idea why, but I love that.

Sweeney Todd (revival) - the whispered "Speak to me friend, whisper, I'll listen..." SO creepy

1776 revival - the reprise of "Richard Henry Lee" when Adams comes in with the "Good God!"

H2$ revival - the scatting at the end of Brotherhood of Man

Peter Pan - Cyril Ritchard's almost whisper on "It's Peter Pan..." during Mysterious Lady

On the Town (I'm not sure if this is on the OBC or not) - the Lonely Town pas de deux music -- I don't know how to explain it, but there's a certain part of that I just LOVE.

I could go on and on...

Wow, lot of good mentions here. I'm going to have to throw in from Parade's All the Wasted Time:

"And I never knew anything...at ALLLLLLLL!" mmmmm tasty.

The Rocky Horror Revival CD:

Frank N Furter (in Blonde Accent): With blonde hair and a tan!
Random Phantom: Shut up!

I seriously crack up everytime that part comes up, and even did that line in a production of Rocky Horror that I was in this past October.

The opening percussion on the Dreamgirls OBCR, and Concert CD.

The drumming under the 3rd Montage part of "Hello 12, Hello 13, Goodbye Love" in the beginning. Also, of course, Val's "Sh!T I made through High school without growing any t1ts!"

Kerry Butler's "I'll get the can!" on the Little Shop of Horrors CD.
