Broadway phrases you use in everyday life — Page 2

I don't know if this is from a show, but my musical theatre friends and I always say: Totes!

Huh. I heard it a LOT when I was growing up. Maybe it's more localized ashley0139. It's definitely not a new phrase for me.

---

It sucks to be me from AVE Q. Wear that tshirt a lot.

"I have been guilty of throwing a Danny Burstein-style "WHAAAAAAAAAT?!" into conversations here and there."

ME TOO! Hahaha! I've also used "if you shined a flashlight in my butt you'd see I'm dying inside..." from tos...hahaha

"life is pandemonium"

I've definitely have said "sing out louise!" and "yes momma"

Just today the word "internet" came up and I busted out with "the internet is for porn!"

"God I hope I get it...I hope I get it..."

"It's the little things you do together...doooo together...dooo together, that make perfect relationships"

"Let me entertain you"

"People who need people are the luckiest people in the world"

The "Chicago" movie came out when I was in 8th grade. All of my friends would ask my best friend and I to perform "Cell Block Tango" for them during lunch...

yyyyyeaaaaahhh...I quote something from Broadway in every day life...

Oh yeah... At school I've also been known to use "Come look at the freaks!" when a kid calls me a freak or launch into Violet's part of "Leave Me Alone" starting with "And how would I do that?" when another says (as he is wont to do) Leave me! (And the best part of that is he almost always continues with Leave me! again, so I can continue.)

---

i tend to begin conversations with "How's life" in the secret hope that the person will respond "disappointing"

---

Lately I've found myself saying "Que paso, here I go!" a lot. And I'm white (though I do speak Spanish, if that helps).

---

I say "I'm Needy!" a la Jeff at least once a day. Same voice and everything.

I know I use more than this one but I can't think of any others now.

I use this one daily. "Sucks to be me/sucks to be you" - Avenue Q

---

i seriously quote rent hourly, say "thats [tos]ome, and say jesus christ superstar!, etc. etc.

"Krup You" - West Side Story - Officer Krupke
"Esa pregunta es tricky" - 96000 - In The Heights

As a good conversation starter I usually ask either "Will you join in our crusade?" or "Do you hear the people sing?" and see what they say. : )


When one of my friends is giving themselves a hard time I always say the thing about "Why is it that if some dude walked up to me on the subway platform
and said these things, I’d think he was a mentally ill asshole,
but if the vampire inside your head says it,
It’s the voice of reason." from "Die Vampire, Die" ([Title Of Show])
On that note, I also mumble die vampire die whenever I get insulted.


This isn't really from a broadway show, but I use LuPwned a lot.


I get a lot of Sweeney Todd references in cooking class (Mmm. That's comforting eh?) and when a book in the library read "City on fire" I was so close to standing up and bursting out in song, but my friend shot me a look that told me to shut up, sit down and not embarrass myself.
