Here's a fun game for anyone who is interested. The original poster posts a lyric from a musical (the more obscure, the better) and the the first person to guess which show it is from correctly gets to post the next lyric. I'll start:
"Why am I high on her cheap perfume?"

My biggest pet peeve right now is when people pronounce it "Marry-us" and not "Mah-ree-us".

Too easy: MISS SAIGON

Okay, here's mine:

In days of old,
The pirate bold
Ran up a flag of black
And sailed away

THE PRINCE OF PILSEN
Here's another one:
Vampires and Demons
Banshees and Sprites
Gorgons and Hellions
And Fetches and Frights
Servants of terror
O hear and obey:

It's only because I had to design this turkey that I know that one.

NARNIA

Let me ponder the next one. Now I can see that the bar has been raised REALLY high.....

So this is how we want to play it, do we???

My world is the world of the hapless dead
My ways are dark and sinister
My subjects I rule with haunting dread
Ho! Death is my Prime Minister!

The gauntlet, as they say, is thrown down.

Wow...I can't find that anywhere. Is it something about cthulhu?

"the more obscure the better." The $10m Miss Saigon? Really?

I'll play:

"Would no one defend him, protect him, befriend him, would none hear his cry?"

The opening song from Bat Boy, right?

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Okay, I sense defeat in the air. (Mwuh-ha-ha!)

HADES INC, 1927, by William Miller and Alexander Matthews: a strange little work that was indeed professionally performed. The first act is all standard light opera. The second act is all 20s jazz.

Select, your call.

Hmmmmm...ok, how about this:

"Lullaby in the garden, where dream flowers grow. Lullaby, my child of a world we'll never know."
