Lets just say this is my favorite song. I'll just end
up quoting the whole song.

"It sucks to be staring in a musical noone wants to see, it
sucks to be me"
"It sucks to be pushing 6"3, It sucks to be me"
*Bernadette Peters in Gypsy -
"...and Ethel Merman, just forget her. Lets not discuss (shh) Ethel Merman"
"Merman's got me pissed"
*A Chorus Cat-
"Look at all the pussies - at all the pussies"
Wickeder- Kristen Chenoweth-
"Putting all my bitchiness into paralysis"
"Ahh, I am the star"
I saw the Anniversary show and loved, it but I can't recall the songs! So, here are my faves from SVU.
Wickeder-
"I'll blow the Gershwin up because I AM the loudest WITCH IN OZ! And, no one's gonna turn my volume doooown!"

Basically the whole Carol Channing verse, plus "Well they only nominate four shows in a ten-block radius, so a show like yours is bound to win SOMETHING!"
Too Gay For You - Too Hetro For Me
"Darling your a dear, and the queer of the year"
Teeney Todd
"Although the musicals barly ten, somebody decided to do it again. But in 3 quarter promenade. It's tenney todd, the smaller version of Sweeney"

Forbidden Assassins:
"I am unworthy of your words, Stephen, darling.
I cannot sing your minor thirds..."
Wickeder:
"We can still be friends, just say your sorry.... and hand over the Tony to me..."
And that wierd laugh she does during the Popular segment.
Titanic segment:
"I'm Leonardo Di Caprio. I'm from the side of the ship where there's a movie going on."
"Let's be truly passioniate: let's spit big loogies overboard!!!"
Everyone Wants to Be Sondheim:
"Listen as they hammer out one chord,
Listen as they hammer it 'till everybody's bored,
No wonder Sweeney Todd went out of his gourd..."
Mine was always:
"Oh is there not one maiden's breast
That does not flutter at my beauty"
I was convinced that those WERE the lyrics to the song for a while!
ScubaSteve-
That Titanic segment is HILARIOUS.

The entire song of "Bernadette Peters in Gypsy" was hilarious. I laughed so hard at:
Would you like to hear a little more of my Tony-losing performance? Ok! Here it goes!
"Hi Heather I love your dress its so purple, I'll see you at the pool, smile, who died, god"

And one hundred more to leave!"
Into the Words

I have no peer 'cause I'm so good.
The score is the star.
The stars are just wood.

But what's a rhyme for 'basket?'"

Sleep with Jenny, sleep with Rose."

2 come to mind
one from F.B. SVU (from i am unworthy of your words)
Teach me to. count in five... four.. time
The second is almost unequaled and it is from F.B. 1 (Angela Lansbury Sequence)
and there must have been a million bucks, the producers threw away. could we recoup one or two, if the show had run past labor day?
The Gypsy one. I love it! The one from Wicked.
I have never seen Forbidden Broadway, but a few days ago I saw Forbidden Hollywood, and they did The Sound of Music, Part 2, and it was hilarious. The actors actually had to pause to control their own laughter.
The whole or Wickeder, especially the 'Strap me in a harness' part and 'you're losing your equlibram, that green paint's seeped in your serebrum'.
Also 'Do you hear the people sing, singing the new songs of Les. Even Andrew Loyd Webber wishes these songs could be his...' or something like that also the whole 'Julie Taymore' bit from The Lion King Segment and 'Don't Cry for Me Barbra Strisand'.
I haven't seen FB for about year, but I was literally in tears laughing during the "Bernadette Peters" segment and the Liza segment. The impressions were so exactly perfect that I truly couldn't breathe from laughter.
My favorite on that CD (that hasn't been mentioned) is Judy's ill-pronunciation in "Everything Old is New Again." Just hilarious!
The funniest number has to be the Light In The Piazza number.
I laugh so hard tears roll down my face.
This from someone who has seen FB over 60 times, NEVER WEAR MASCARA WHEN YOU SEE FB.
PS It is the best show ever written.

The line that always sticks with me is from "Who's Gay in Hollywood":
I am beginning to think there is a cure for homosexuality; a SAG card.
Who did the song again?*(Sorry I am having the mother of all brainfarts), She was brilliant in her impersonation.
A new favorite is YOOOOOOOOO-KO, Ono!" (ala Oklahoma!)
The Circle of Mice
"What a bore you're in for... Ten Years Mooooooooore!"
