okay i saw Titanic performed at a community theatre here in my area and granted the book was so...blah...but i liked the music...anyway, there is the character called "the bell boy" very small role with like three lines but the way this guy would enter and exit was absolutly the funniest thing i've ever seen. he'd just sturt right on stage do this little half bent motion and ring a bell, say "dinner is now served" and strut back off....it was the funniest thing ever.

also Elphaba in Defying Gravity

Amneris has her back to the audience and fromt he back she looks like a very odd statue, and as she begins to sing she turns sround and evryone relaizes shes a person. At the end of the musical she goes back to her glass case.

*Aida spoilers*

Amneris doesn't make an entrance exactly. She's on stage when it starts in a glass case as a figurine in a museum. Two people (aida and radames) catch each other's eyes in the museum and the action freezes. Someone starts to sing and you realize it's Amneris in the glass case. She opens her eyes and then she eventually starts to move and then later on she steps down outta the case and moves towards the audience.

They go back to that scene at the end. It goes full circle. Amneris goes back into the case and you realize that Aida and Radames are the two people who caught each other's eyes in the museum and that they actually *have* found each other in another life and are getting another chance.

I love the opening entrances in Rent.

My favorite exit is Carmen Ghia's in the Producers when he goes to get Roger... and Roger's entrance is hilarious, too... actually, that scene is the best/funniest scene ever. lol

Best entrance I've seen was the Lion King during Circle of Life. I was sitting in the second tier and I look down and there's this big elephant walking around. I also love Roger's entrance in Rent- he comes in, plugs in his guitar and starts playing Musetta's Waltz. (Of course the best entrance in Rent goes to Angel whenever she comes out in her Santa dress)

Best exit? Erm, going to Angel again at the end of Contact, or the Phantom of the end of that show. Awesomeness.
