"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears."
CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre"
"I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is."

"What I did For Love" - A Chorus Line
A bunch already listed, checkout the old Rodgers and Hart shows, one of the biggest ones being "My Funny Valentine" from Babes in Arms.
Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on."
- from Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

"I've got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators and their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugar cubes
While you stare at your books."

"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

Oh that reminds me. "Send in the Clowns". You gotta love Krusty's version (even he does screw up the lyrics).

Neverland, I'm Flying from Peter Pan, and, there's anything from Sound of Music.
And soon, I guess, anything from Mary Poppins will qualify for votes when it finally gets to Bway.

I know some people who think this was specifically written for ANGER MANGAMENT.
Which reminds me, it makes me sick when kids refer to BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER as "that Clay Aiken song"
