Misheard Lyrics this Season on Broadway

Okay, Stupidity Confession Time, What did you Hear and What were they really saying?


Wedding Singer: I heard "All about the Greed" (which I think totally makes sense)
They said "All about the Green"

oh man. mine is a WS one too. In my defense, it was the gypsy performance. the crowd was CRAZY and loud.

Second act. Anyone who's seen the show knows this number features the female ensemble doing the splits for the sung word "green". all these woman have their legs open in the air, on the floor, on a desk... etc.

so i kept hearing "it's all about the CREAM" (... yeah... you read it right). plus it was gypsy so people were cheering and laughing and applauding all around me throughout the song. and i kept thinking... how inappropriate! this is a family show, people!


i am awesome.

Zzanna, I also heard "Greed."

I can never understand (on the cast recording of the Wedding Singer) the end of "Linda's note". It sounds like "the I is dotted with a broken hand." Not sure if that's right!

Barnaby, its "with a broken heart"

So it isn't this season and it isn't Broadway. It's the Wicked national tour. And at first I thought it was just me, but then I realized it was a mess up. Sebastian went, "Life's more painless for the brainless" when it's actually less painless. Yeah, I definitely went off topic.

um- its is suppposed to be "more painless." if he would have said more painFul, then that wouldnt make sense.

Another example of my stupidity.

I saw Sweeney on Wednesday... Maybe it was because I was half-dead from a long day of walking all around Manhattan, but I was only kind of picking up the amazingly fast words they were singing. Almost unintelligible to my tired ears. I guess that's more unheard than misheard. Oh well.
