Here's something I enjoy doing: I have a document on my computer where I write Musical Haikus - as in, haikus about musicals. So I thought I'd put this out on the board, if anyone wants to contribute any of their own!
A few favorites of my own:
- ALLEGRO -
Message: City Bad
That may not be what you meant
But that's what you got
- ASPECTS OF LOVE -
Lloyd Webber: "This is
A show about human beings"
Me: Oh honey no
- CHESS -
Tim Rice's statement:
1. All the world's a chess game
2. Affairs are hard
- GYPSY -
I don't think that it's
The best musical ever
We get Stage Moms now
- HIGH FIDELITY -
Rob: "F**k Phil Collins!"
Tom Kitt: "Cater to a Phil
Collins audience!"
- MISS SAIGON -
This musical made
A lot of people angry
Mike Feingold more so
- NEWSIES -
"We were writing this
For stock and amateur rights!"
"Like BRING BACK BIRDIE?"
- PACIFIC OVERTURES -
Winds blow and waves break
And still you will see: We float
...We all float down here
- THE PRODUCERS -
"We got a great show!"
"Are Lane and Broderick still there?"
"No, but-" "Never mind."
- SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE -
Look, I made a hat
Well, there never was a hat
(Wait, that's not the line?)
