The "Roast of Utopia" review thread got me thinking. What is your favorite FB parody of all time?

My vote goes to "Chita-Rita."

Ohhh the Patti ones are great but if I had to choose 1 it'd be anytime Liza comes out. ESP Liza One Note.

As old as it is, my favorite still has to be the Les Mis one...the turntable gag itself is worth the ticket price.

Tough one...I'd have to go with Defying Chenowith.

"Time I Said Goodbye" - the Sarah Brightman imitation is perfect - every horrible sound.

The one that stuck with me the most when I saw it was "Beauty's Been Decreased." I was dying.

Just saw it last night, and the Company spoof "Unaccompanied" had me dying, as did "Totally Bleeped" from Spring Awakening.

As far as classics, I love Chita/Rita and Ouch, They're Tight

My two favorites:
Les Miserables (less miserable than other shows, this song's too high,...)

and

Beauty & the Beast (Be Depressed)

nothing tops The Light In The Piazza skit, IMO

Liza One-Note
Patti LuPone- I Get a Kick Out of Me (Some snort cocaine when they're low, I need no sniff cause I think what's the diff, I'm terriffic to see, Yes I get a kick out of me.)
Grim Hotel

"Being LuPone"
"Trouble In New York City"
"Alan Cumming in Cabaret" - I actually like the Liza bit before it, too. "Do the words Third Reich mean anything to you? Because they do to me!"

Those are my top three favorites.

Gagtime
Les Miserables
Into the Words
Chita-Rita
Patti LuPone - I Get a Kick Out of Me
Super-Frantic-Hyperactive-Self-Indulgent-Mandy
Jekyll & Hyde (for people who find Andrew Lloyd Webber's music too challenging!)

Lord...there are so many good numbers, how is a girl to chose??

ooh i wanna add that the Gagtime skit is HILARIOUS too!

I am in love with the Ann Miller "I'm Still Weird"...you can picture Ann's T-Rex arms flapping and her machine gun taps. Hey!

I also love "Being Lupone"... it is perfect. "Helloeverybodyhowareyoudoingtonight!!!"

I loved the Piazza parody.

i love all of the Les Mis parodies but the sarah brightman skit and Beauty's been decreased are my other favorites

[Gothampc]

Chita-Rita is the best overall.

I liked the Les Miz skit where they sang: "Rich folks pay 20 bucks a shirt, that has a starving pauper on it".

I am unworthy of your words
Stephen, darling.
I cannot sing your minor thirds.


Beyond classic, IMO.

Sing It Somwhow (Piazza). Also, the Lennon skit is hysterical.

the fiddler on the roof one was hysterical!

[seymour krelborn]

Posted: 6/26/07 at 2:06pm

Chita-Rita
Piazza
Into the Words

I'm sure this will change once I go see 'Utopia'. I can't wait to see the Company and Spring Awakening parodies.

I like the THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE one, myself.

"...and the sets are hideous"

and

"Everything today is totally shell-shocked (battered like a Bosnian)"

"I Strain in Vain to Train Madonna's Brain" (after Madge's hideously embarassing performance in SPEED THE PLOW)

WOW! Goth and I agree on something!!
"Rich folks pay 20 bucks a shirt, that has a starving pauper on it". Is one of my all time favs.
