"And I keep thinking how if you took the W in Answer, the H in Ghost, the second A in Aardvark and the T in Listen you could keep saying "what" over and over again but no one would hear you because the whole word would be silent.... "-Spelling Bee

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

From a play in general...

"I find going up the back way to be quite stimulating." - Hedda Gabler. The double entendre in that is fabulous, especially to an immature mind like mine.

"George Bush is only for now," is good, too.

From Our Town:
(during Emily's death scene)
Emily: Do human beings ever realize life while they live it?
Stage Manager: No. Saints and poets, maybe. They do some.

There's a lot I am not certain of...

Hmmmm, let me see....


Every single line from Avenue Q is a classic!!

"I will not fail so you can be comfortable Cathy, I will not lose because you can't win"-L5Y (I just love the way Norb says this line. Gives me chills everytime!

And that one line, if anyone here can help me, where Maureen is at Angel's funeral and she says that friend line.

AIDA. All of it.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

1776 has to have the best quotes from any show in Broadway history. Here are a few more that I don't think have been mentioned:

(John Adams volunteers to visit New Brunswick after a report is given of Washington's soldiers being afflicted with venereal disease and alcoholism)
ADAMS: Wake up, Franklin, you're going to New Brunswick!
FRANKLIN: [Half asleep] Like hell I am. What for?
HOPKINS: The whoring and the drinking!
[Franklin springs up and marches off right behind Adams]

---------
ADAMS: You cool, considerate men. You hang to the rear on every issue so that if we should go under, you'll still remain afloat!
DICKINSON: Are you calling me a coward?
ADAMS: Yes... coward!
DICKINSON: Madman!
ADAMS: Landlord!
DICKINSON: LAWYER!
[a brawl breaks out]

------------
THOMPSON: [calling for a vote] Where's Rhode Island?
McNAIR: Rhode Island's out visiting the necessary.
HANCOCK: Well, after what Rhode Island has consumed, I can't say I'm surprised. We'll come back to him, Mr. Thompson.
THOMPSON: Rhode Island passes.
[Roar of laughter from the Congress]

---------
FRANKLIN: Revolutions come into this world like bastard children, Mr. Dickinson - half improvised and half compromised.

---------
FRANKLIN: If we do not hang together, we shall most assuredly hang separately!


(of course I also love the quote in my signature from The Music Man)

"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering." --Harold Hill from The Music Man

Pretty much all of Amneris' lines in AIDA. And...

ROSE: Playing Vaudeville.

ADAMS: Are you calling me a madman, you... you FRIBBLE?!?!

ADAMS: Franklin, I have been looking everywhere for you! Where in God's name have you been?
FRANKLIN (having his portrait painted): Right here, John, being preserved for posterity. Do you like it?
ADAMS: It stinks.
FRANKLIN: As ever, the soul of tact.
ADAMS (re the painter): Well, the man's no Botticelli.
FRANKLIN: And the subject's no Venus.

DICKINSON: Be careful, sir. History will brand Mr. Adams and his followers as traitors.
HANCOCK: Traitors to what, Mr. Dickinson? The British crown or the British half-crown?

sherry, i aagree with you on the line from L5Y. that whole song gives me the chills. love it.

<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

I love Mimi's speech at Angel's funeral from Rent, "I knew we'd hit it off from the moment we met. That skin head was bothering her, and she said she was more of a man than he'd ever be, and more of a woman than he'd ever get."

There's a lot I am not certain of...

Another good one-

Avenue Q
Princeton: Hey kate, what are you doing tonight?
Kate: Grading Term papers, but it's kindergarten so their very short.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

-Into the Woods- its from a song but I adore the line.

"I got to skin the animal!" Into the woods

"Cut Cut Cudagon, watch me grind my corn!" Sweeney Todd

"We will break him, we have ways!" Kiss of the Spiderwoman, its such a creepy line that can mean so many differnt things.

JACK: A piggy?

- RED: Why don't you go up to the 'kingdom' and bring it back. (i guess i just love the way danielle said the line)

- BAKERS WIFE: What...was...that?
