Has Anyone Ever Equated Their Life To a Musical?

Is it bad if I feel cheap that someone just equated our relationship to the current production of "Sweet Charity"? Enjoyable but wouldn't want to see it more than once?

Anyone ever equate or have someone else equate their life or relationship to a musical?

Um, My friends and I compare ourselves to Rent, nt just the characters, but the "Everyone loved us at the beginning, then we louder and then they hated us, but dang if we aren't still going strong!"
1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

I totally relate to Bobby in company -though I am a little, well, much younger. Someone also compared our past relationship to "Sweet Charity" how funny!

My musical theatre loving frined always says "My life IS a musical!" so for her Chanukah present I burned her a CD of showtunes that she always says relate to her - I entitled it: Andrea' Life - The Musical! It was fun.

Cheno, doesn't that comparison just *burn* you up inside?

I *DO* break out into song and dance all the time!

Life isn't a musical. Life is a cabaret, ol' chum.

Life is what you do till the moment you die.
OR
Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans. (Does that count as a theater quote now?)

Pippin. I've always felt it was a bit of my life on stage. Well...the songs at least. Maybe not the killing-father-who-is-Charlemagne part :)

i hate to admit it, but my life thus far has been very much like Dennis in All Shook Up.

I really felt as though my life was a musical comedy last week when I came home from Europe. ConvinceMe2 had missed me so much that he had the entire Harmonia Gardens set from HELLO, DOLLY! constructed at the luggage carousels at JFK Airport. I knew that I was home at last when all the guys from BWW were at the foot of the staircase to welcome me back to the States.

(CM2 spares no expense to show his love for me!)

Yes, I do. I often find myself rallying knights in a valiant attmept to find the Holy Grail, while battling the french and getting lost in dark and expensive forests...

Actually, I think the easiest show to relate to is Taboo. It's all about wanting to be accepted as an individual and not giving a sh!t what everyone thinks of you if you're happy.
I hold a degree in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. It is useless. Now I'm funny for money. Oh, and I sing.

Corine, are you implying that you are surrounded by puppets in real life? Where are you working THIS week?
