Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Weez- that would actually be incorrect. All of the characters show up in Act 2. First for "It's Hot Up Here" which opens the act, then George has a monologue (which is cut from the DVD) and then they all reappear for a reprise of "Sunday".

Sarah's also in the flashback song, Sarah Brown Eyes.
The giant's wife-act 1 of Into The Woods. Anne's parents in act 1 of La Cage (I think...)
Much: Riff and Bernardo-act 2 of West Side Story (only the dream ballet, which is cut from many productions)
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
uh-uh, ray, Pirelli is certainly in Act II of SWEENEY
"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."
