"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

The Music Man with that dude from Will and Grace. Forgive me for not remembering his name 
I'm sure there are at least a few W&G fans on here that will enlighten me.

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Thanks kooky!
So I assume if I sang "Kooky? Kooky? Lend me your comb.", you'd know exactly what I was thinking of?

My first Broadway show was Oklahoma!
My older cousin had the female lead, and I fell in love with old musicals. I see every one she's in now.

I believe that Marie Osmond was playing Anna on Broadway in November of 1997. Donna Murphy was long-gone by then.
By first Broadway show was A Chorus Line in January of 1979.
