Moments of Non-Stop Laughter/Applause — Page 2

The line in Hairspray with Harvey Fierstein in Motormouth's House to Mrs. Von Tussel (it was said already but it was the wrong quote)

"Hold Mommy's waffles!"

When I saw Thoroughly Modern Millie, the audience cheered for a good minute after Marc Kudisch did the REALLY fast verse in "The Speed Test." Impressive, yes. Worthy of that long of a cheer? I didn't think so.

"how about during "Once Upon A Time"? You'd think there'd be a major standing ovation after Eden belted that out!"

I saw a clip of the final performance of Brooklyn, and Once Upon A Time got a standing O that lasted for what seemed like forever. It was incredible. I've also got to agree with the "Bushes of Tex" line.

All for Laura on the closing night of WIW, she couldn't even hold the pose after a while so she just stood up and looked shocked.

"Spell Cow"
"Can I have a definition?"
"It's a Cow."
"Can you use it in a sentance."
"Please spell cow."

Hah! When I saw it, they said 'elephant', and it was tons of laughter, but it has to die down so "Pandemonium" can start.

Just about every number in Jersey Boys has non stop applause after it especially "Sherry", "Walk Like A Man", and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

yeah, i also say sweet charity with applegate and after "If My Friends Could See Me Now" the place went crazy! She was amazing the night i saw her. It makes me happy just thinking about it. Idina and Kristen always got huge laughs during the catfight, and one night during popular it took forever to get through because Chenoweth kept topping herself. she was outstanding. Bernadette stopped the show with "roses turn". The audience jumped to their feet. Great night!

I agree with veryownplanetz, i was going to say when Julia said "well we cant all come and go by bubble"...both nights i saw it it got roaring laughter and applause. After a while I thought okay people let the play go on...:)

Also at the end of Sweeney Todd when they re-gag Tobias and the stage goes dark, there was tons of applause both times I saw it. TONS. Even when the lights came back up people were still clapping...I couldn't hear the opening verse of the Ballad.

in the liner notes for the OBC of Candide it says that Barbara Cook got 2 minute applauses for Glitter and be Gay.

WOW

I saw La Cage it was the day before it was closing which was really sad and after I Am What I Am, Gary got a standing ovation, it was wonderful!

I'm friends with Victoria Clark and she got my friend and I 3rd row seats in the orchestra for Light in the Piazza and at the curtain call when she came out you could hear each and every seat go up in unison and just endless applause, they bowed like 15 times. When we went to her dressing room after we all just started crying and i said, "how do you keep it together up there? she looks at me and says, "are you kidding me?! i keep a tissue in my bra, i cry every night especially at the curtain call because the applause is so overwhelming!"

When i saw Sweeney Todd i was so irratated that they didn't have breaks in between the songs to applaud! I was sitting there twisting my hands because i wanted to jump out of my seat and scream Bravo!!! so finally after the first Johanna there is a break for applause and it had been welling up inside everyone for so long that we all started screaming and cheering for about 3 minutes. Then at the end of the show the crowd was on it's feet before anyone actually came out haha

Every 30 seconds in Avenue Q... I don't know if it always happens, but the night I was there, I swear the show took twice as long as it was supposed to because people wouldn't stop laughing. :)

I'm on the bandwagon with "we can't all come and go by bubble!" I died the first time I heard that line... as did everyone else.
