A repeated WICKED phrase (not from the show, just a slogan) is "So much happend before Dorothy dropped in."

I grew up hearing "Sing out, Louise" from Gypsy... but that's probably just my mother being strange...

Not sure if anyone got this, but outside of Studio 54 it used to say "In here, life is beautiful." I'd say that's the one for Cabaret. *sigh*

When we did CABARET at TCR, we used the catchphrase "Dont Tell Mama". Slightly more evocative, IMHO.

One Short Day: Les Miz

How can you confuse Wicked and Les Miz1 They are unconfusifyable!

Vive "Les Miserables"
I'd say One Day More
(Although when it closed it was Au Revoir)

Definitley more evocative, sean... though I'm not sure it encompasses the overall meaning of the show. *shrug*

Some of these may have been mentioned:

The Producers: "Keep it Gay!" or "When You Got It, Flaunt It"
Chicago: "All That Jazz"
Oklahoma!: "I Cain't Say No"
Hairspray: "You Can't Stop the Beat!"
Wicked: "Defy Gravity" or "Popular"

***Some of these may not appear on T-Shirts and are just popular phrases from the shows.

Mamma Mia!- One girl, three possible fathers, and a trip down the aisle you'll never forget (or something like that)
The WICKED ones listed
Wonderful Town- (with Brooke) Theres a new girl in town!
RENT- I think one of them was simply "Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes how do you measure a year in the life..." or something along those lines.
