Ah, favorite little moments on an OBC... — Page 5

WOW, there are so many.


Dreamgirls- When they are singing the theme song, I love hearing the drums in the back when they go "Dreeeaaaaammm".

Jersey Boys- The opening of Dawn(Go Away). That driving drum beat just gets you into the song.

Bright Lights, Big City- In the opening song, when Jaime speeds up with the chorus near the end of the song when they are singing "I'm looking for the kind of girl who I'd call at eleven for some crusaunts and coffee, and we'd go some museum for a set or two of tennis with Elizabeth and Denis...." and then Patrick sings "I'm a menace to myself, dancing this close to heartbreak!" Aww, I love that part.

The Light in the Piazza- In "Passeggiata", when Matthew sings "Walk with me, in the place that I know! La Passeggiata."

Avenue Q- In "I Wish I Could Go Back To College" when Nicky and Kate are singing in the backround, and Princeton goes "I wish I could go back to college, how do I go back to college?!"

Wicked- In "The Wizard and I" when Elphie sings " Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood, this weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide, is a talent that could help me meet the wizard, if I make good, so I'll make good.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels- When Norb sings "I think we still deserve a haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandddd!!" in Dirty Rotten Number.




Gosh, there are so many I want to post up here. I do agree with all of the Wedding Singer references though that have been said so far.

OBC CAST OF WICKED PERFORMING DEFY GRAVITY

Les Mis - 'Javert's Suicide' on the 10th anniversary recording, the way Philip Quast hits that last note in "there is no way to go OOOOOOON" just gives me chills

Seussical OBCR - "Objection! OVERRULED!" from 'The People Versus Horton the Elephant'

Little Women OBCR - Jo's dialogue during 'The Fire Within Me' makes me want to cry

The Drowsy Chaperone - "Is it the monkey or my pedestal I love" Sutton Foster is just amazing and that's all there is to it.

A Man of No Importance - "When you're talkin' about this thing called art, makin' it your ideal, there is nothing you will not do to feel what it makes you feel"

The Wedding Singer - "No, I couldn't be more wrong"

Bat Boy Original Cast - "Heed the tale of a filthy freak, who's just like you"

And, I know it's not on the cast recording, but during the Drowsy Chaperone when the Overture suddenly tansitions from the record into the orchestra... gives me chills.

After about 2 and a half minutes in "One Day More" (LES MIZ), the whole big group harmony when each sings his/her own line, especially Eponine's "One more day all on my own!" I love it. Also, during the Finale when the ensemble quietly sings, "Do you hear the people sing..." So creepy. I love it.

From Spelling Bee, during "The I Love You Song," there's a note towards the end that all three characters get to (the note is while they're saying the word "Love" somewhere). It's just so haunting and amazing. Gosh.

The end of "He Is Not Dead Yet" from Spamalot, as well as the little Arthur/Lady run during "Act II Finale."

In "Saturday Night in the City", towards the very end, Amy Spanger yells, "Saturday night in the cit-tayyyy-AYYYYYY" during the Flashdance moment. I LOVE it.

Jersey Boys:
"And then one day, a tune pops into my head. I jot down some dummy words; Nick and I do a quick head arrangement. Then, we call the studio and sing it to Crewe--and the whole world EXPLODED!"(--then the intro to "Sherry" begins!)
