An ex-girlfriend of mine once used "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" from Company on me.

With so little to be sure of,
If there's anything at all.
If there's anything at all.
I'm sure of here and now and us together.
All I'll ever be I owe you,
If there's anything to be.
Being sure enough of you
Makes me sure enough of me.
Thanks for everything we did,
Everything that's past,
Everything's that's over too fast.
None of it was wasted,
All of it will last:
Everything that's here and now and us together!
It was marvelous to know you
And it isn't really through.
Crazy business this, this life we live in-
Can't complain about the time we're given-
With so little to be sure of in this world,
We had a moment!
A marvelous moment!

With So Little To Be Sure Of
Lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim

Happy...Everything! Kaye Thompson

"Astonishing" from Little Women.

Not the introduction, but certainly, "I'll find my way/I'll find it far away/I'll find it in the unexpected and unknown/I'll find my life in my own way/Today..."

My WHOLE life? not sure... But I think Way Back to Paradise (from Marie Christine) summarizes me in some way...

Not quite sure about my whole life and this isn't exactly Broadway, but "Just Around The Riverbend" from Pocahontas.

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

"Defying Gravity" . . .most definitely

'If that's love it comes at much too high a cost!'

I relate to that one much too much.

'You can have all you ever wanted [if you say you're sorry for being yourself]' and like Elphaba, then 'I don't want it anymore.'

Really, it is my life story in that song . . .in so many ways. And now, following my dreams feels as if I am 'defying gravity'! I really am!

It totally relates . . .to me.

Love and Stage Lights, Angela Theresa

I'm relatively young, but so far:

Being Alive - Company
Another Day - Rent

The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go --doesn't it?

It's difficult to narrow it down, but I'd say the final bit of The Weekly Volcano Press.


I'm ready for destiny, my tresses are curled
I'll take what is rightly mine with curtains unfurled
I will not quit and I won't be forgotten
I will shine, I'll dazzle and more
I'm ready to take a bow, I've taken a solemn vow
My destiny here and now; I'll astonish the world
