All the time. It's just so easy to break into song at any given moment.
"As we all should probably have learned by now, to be a Stephen Sondheim fan is to have one's heart broken at regular intervals" - Frank Rich
Dearest, how can this be so? You were dead, you know. - Candide
Oh my god, this show has everything! Half naked guys and girl on girl action! - [title of show]
(My avatar? Why, yes! That is Laura Benanti making out with a chick!)

A lot of times. It was especially disastrous when we were studying Nubia in my world history class back in high school...
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Yes especially when I get confusified about things.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Quotes, songs, entire scenes, you name it, I always just spontaneously BREAK OUT!!!!
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise

I have a tendency to finish many a sentence with "..and all that jazz" (spoken though, not sung)

It's hard not to-mainly because most of the people I know use one word sentances like "yo"-in which i can quote any song from In the Heights or something like "ok, bye" in which i say the entire court scene of Legally Blonde where Calahand (sp-I know) says "have fun in jail" and Brooke Says "ok, bye" and then I go on with the entire scene into "Ohmigod (reprise)"...and funn things like that.

All the time, but of course no one ever gets what I’m referencing.

Only all the time.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Constantly.

I have a tendency for
ending the question
'what's the time' with
'well it's gotta be
close to midnight...'
Also it seems like
whenever somebody around
me says anything, I can
somehow relate it to a
song or quote from a musical,
and then I will sing or reinact
that song or quote...
It's a good life! :)

Every day someone says something and it sparks a quote from a show. Like luke-h*** All anyone has to ask is what's the time and I say it's gotta be close to midnight. At work my boss called someone a Doubting Thomas which of course made me say "Dennis!" and on and on. No one ever knows what we are talking about, though. They just roll their eyes and know it must have something to do with Broadway!

Totally. I'm incapable of saying "there is no god" without sticking "Noah" on the end, and my saddest ambition is for someone to invite me to something I just plain don't want to go to, so I can refuse on the grounds that "I have to finish the hat".

I find it very difficult upon hearing "you lied to me!" not to break out with "no, no not lied at all, no I never lied, said she took the poison, she did, never said that she died, poor thing, she lived, but it left her weak in the head, all she did for months was just lie there in bed" and so on. :P
Or I'll quote something from one hallowe'en. which no one will EVER get.

Yes, very often, more than I realize.
My quotes usually come from Avenue Q but I've had some in the past from Hairspray and Rent.
From Avenue Q, I use "Sucks to be you" usually at least once a day.
I use some quotes from Everyones a little bit racist."
I've used a lot of with "Schadenfreude" lately. (Most recetly was today when it was raining and someone slipped in mud).

Great question...and the answer is "totally". Found myself doing it tonight at a cookout and several people actually got it. It happens more often than not when I am talking to my best friend from high school and lines from shows just come out as a part of natural conversation. I know we sound like complete dorks, but at least we think we are amusing! Even better is when you quote with vocal inflection or the gesture assigned to it onstage. For some reason, I find myself quoting Noises Off a lot! Yes, odd...I know.

whenever i have guests over i break out into "let me entertain you"
and yeah, pretty much everything i say is a quote from a musical.

I say "Oh dear" a lot and I had two different friends who loved musicals/Sondheim that would always respond with, "How uneasy I feel." (For those who don't know INTO THE WOODS by heart, ominous music is playing as Little Red Ridinghood comes upon Grandma's house and she says, "Oh dear. How uneasy I feel. It must be all the sweets."
Of course, I'm always sad when I say, "Oh dear" and there's no one who can finish the line.

Although I despised Kendra Kassebaum's interpretation of Glinda in the Wicked Tour- I often find myself saying "Yes, I do!" or "Yes, I am!" the same way she said that line in the cornfield scene. If anybody has seen her, you probably know what I'm talking about...
