I LOVED that line from DRS-- (does anyone know the whole thing?) but I only remember the jist of it-- Sherie is like "Well, I'm the second child... I was born in March... How about 7?" (I know that I got that totally wrong, but it was something along those lines.)

It seems that even though it's asking for the best Broadway quote that it has actually turned into funniest broadway quote, because there are some great "dramatic" lines out there too.

"I just want someone to love me...FOR MY MONEY!!!" - "Great Big Stuff", from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

This is technically an "off-broadway" quote, but I figured it was fair game.

"If your mother and your brother had "relations" with each other and father was connected to the Gotti clan I'd say...Well, nobodys perfect." - "Shiksa Goddess", from The Last Five Years.

"They sell these big pencils... I don't know." --Greg Jbara and John Lithgow in DRS

I LOVE THAT ONE FROM DRS!! So good! oh, and I think the sherie quote is:

I'm the second oldest, I was born in July, I'm a member of the omega (something),...how about 4? ~DRS~

No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

I TOTALLY agree with ozboy on "I was raised to be charming, not sincere." That one is a classic.

I have to say, "I was raised to be charming, not sincere" was the first line that popped into my head. I've watched that video dozens of times and I still laugh at it.

I also love the line in Pippin:
"Lewis loves weightlifting. Lewis loves wrestling. But most of all, Lewis looooooooooves Lewis!"

If we're talking just spoken lines, I also have to add:
"Maybe it's genetic. They don't have bobsleds in San Juan."

For a serious line:
"There was a cabaret. And there was a master of ceremonies. There was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany. It was the end of the world. And I was dancing with Sally Bowles. And we were both fast asleep." Gives me chills every time - even now as I wrote it.

"Have a child for warmth, a baker for bread, and a prince for...whatever"

"You can talk to birds"

I second the charming line!

"Our lives become the stories that we weave"
"Life is why we tell the story"

"I'll eat some breakfast and change the world" Hairspray

It's not a quote really but in Miss Saigon when Kim says it's what all the girls sing at their weddings and Chris bolts up with surprise. It's hilarious. Then she says "They didn't know what else to sing."

Producers- After "Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop"... Carmen Ghia says to Max and Leo (something to the effect of) "May I take your hats... your coats... your swastikas

Avenue Q- "I know! Put my earmuffs on the cookie"
^idk... it always strikes my funny

Taboo: "Let's be serious for a moment (holds up mirror to man's face), would you let you in?"

And not from a musical, but from Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy":

Arnold: Oops? Did you say 'Oops', Ed? No, Ed. 'Oops' is when you fall down an elevator shaft. 'Oops' is when you go skinny dipping in a school of pirhana. 'Oops' is when you accidentally douche with drano. No, Ed, this was not an 'Oops'. This was a (strangled scream)

Love that quote :)
