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?"

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.

"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?"

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."
