Musical Haikus (A prompt)

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?)

• Score by worthless hack(s)
• Book nearly unbearable 
• I left halfway through

Apply the musical at your own leisure… After Eight would have a field day with this one!
