"Hey, it's me."
If/Then
I realize it's a straight pander to Idina fans but I love that line as an entrance and also lines to the 11'o clock number.

I crack up every time I think of this line and the business that goes with it from Hello, Dolly!:

You go your way Horace Vandergelder, and I'll go mine.

And from Urinetown: The Musical:

You're just going to throw me off this roof? And that's supposed to be Urinetown? Death is Urinetown?

That's one interpretation.

I second "To love another person is to see the face of God." I'm also fond of "We all lead such elaborate lives" from Aida. I particularly love when the final line of a show sums it up perfectly. I'm thinking "There will be light" from Next to Normal, "Tomorrow comes" in Les Mis, or Rent's "No Day But Today"

"Look, my eyes are dry/The gift was ours to borrow."

"Days go zipping/Sitting by the pool and tripping./Everybody's flip or flipping."

"Well we can't all come and go by bubble!" - Wicked

"At last! My arm is complete again!" - Sweeney Todd

"If you know what you want then you go and you find it and you get it." - Into the Woods

"You too, son." - Into the Woods

" -Oh, how I would love a cape like that!
- Really? You would look quite foolish." -Into the Woods

I think Into the Woods' lyrics are very clever and witty. Of course, I paraphrased on the last one, I couldn't recall the actual lines. I think I got the gist of it, though.

From Fiddler on the Roof:

"There would be one long staircase just going up, and one even longer going down. And one more leading nowhere just for show." and "God bless and keep the Tsar...far away from us."

From Next to Normal:

"Some hurts never heal. Some ghosts are never gone, but we go on, we still go on. And you find some way to survive, and you find out you don't have to be happy at all to be happy you're alive." and "I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay."

From Wicked:

"Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost."

From If/Then:

"Hey, when's the train going to start running again? Mlskdfjadoijsjf..."

The Phantom of the Opera: "It's over now, the music of the night."

From Noel Coward's "Sweet Day" (After the Ball):

"Sweet day that seems to be
Made up of dreams for me
But when they're faded away
Let me remember today."

All the lyrics in "I Don't Want to Know" from Dear World.




Nor do I, Countess, nor do I.
