Well, not a movie, but still.
At the end of the second season of Everwood, when Ephram is going to Julliard in NYC and Amy goes with him, Amy mentions wanting to see "Avenue Q." :)

Posted: 6/30/05 at 7:24pmI just finished watching "AIRPLANE!" and Ethel Merman makes a cameo singing "Everything's Coming Up Roses". It was wonderful...and I totally forgot about it.

In Buffy, here is a musical references:
"Why is she so Evita-like?" - Willow in Nightmares
Now, I guess she was refering to Evita the person, not the musical, but it still reminded me of the musical.

"My Fair Lady"
Instead of "The rain in spain stays mainly in the plane"
they use
"The life of the wife was ended by the knife"
ps her name is even Eliza.

On the episode of the Gilmore Girls, I think the town councilpresident goes "We've got trouble" and Loreli goes "Right Here in River City" which is a Music Man refief.
On Hope and Faith- The cast sang a redition of Hello Dolly.

More Will and Grace:
Wizard of Oz--
KAREN: I don't think you understand what just happened here. The only other person I've ever apologized to was my mother, and that was court ordered. So please accept my apology in the spirit in which it was intended or I'll kick you in the gittles.
JACK: No! Now be gone before someone drops a house on you!
KAREN: Hey, up yours, Dorothy.

There was also a seuss reference in Family Guy, something along the lines of "That was worse than seussical the musical."
...ah. Broadway references- just one of the many reasons Gilmore Girls controls my life.
What's pink and green and flies all over?
#66re: Musicals Represented in Non-Musical Movies
Posted: 7/23/05 at 4:58amI remember watching Early Edition and one of the guest character was obsessed with Broadway shows. I can't remember which episode or who the guest star was.
#67re: Musicals Represented in Non-Musical Movies
Posted: 7/23/05 at 10:24amOn Gilmore Girls the Stars Hollow Elementary School is doing "Fiddler on the Roof" and Lorelai is doing costumes for it! LOL! They have Kirk as Tevye with a 10 year old girl as Golde! LOL! That was hilarious. Oh, and in "Lion King 1 1/2", when Simba grows up and leaves Timon and Pumba, they sing "Sunrise, Sunset" LOL. But I could probably think of MANY MANY more on Gilmore Girls! LOL!

In Willy Wonka--the new one--(though it sorta is a musical) Willy Wonka greets his guests by saying "good morning starshine! the earth says hello!" (hair) and then he keeps having flashbacks and muttering "papa? papa?" which was very gypsy "mama? ma-ma-mama?"
lol..that's all I got...I suck.
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

I was watching Family Guy a couple of weeks ago and I saw a spoof on CATS. I was laughing hysterically and my roomate just looked at me oddly.
What are the musical references in American Beauty?

i'm not sure if Marci X counts as a musical (i would say NO) but lisa kudrow sings "and i am telling you i'm not going" at the dr. s. concert to show how "real" she is.
also, manley pope, matt morrison, jane krakowski, and sherie rene scott--it's like 'broadway actors: the motion picture' lol

In Billy Wilder's "The Apartment", Baxter wants to take Fran on a date and offers her a ticket to "The Music Man" and there are actually shots of Lemmon outside the theatre and the marquee when he is stood up.

In "I Love Lucy" Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, and Fred all have tickets to see "The Most Happy Fella" but lose two of them so the other two have to sit on the other two's laps.
And (also) in "The Simpsons" there is some sort of neighborhood yard sale and Homer sings a version of "Hey Big Spender" to get all of the people to buy things at each table:
"Dig these suspenders! And this blender!"-Homer
"We surrender! Us big spenders!"-People
"Speeeeeeeeeend some dough at table three."-Homer
I think it was something like that.
"Sing the words, Patti!!!!" Stephen Sondheim to Patti LuPone.

In the Australian movie "Cosi", the plot was about a bunch of mentally ill people in an institution putting on a production of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte.
Does anybody remember "SquareOne Television", specficially "Mathnet"? One of there adventures was the five part "The Case of the Unkidnapping" where I think a large part of it revolved around a Broadway production of "Anything Goes". (It was still in the Kate Monday era and not the Pat Tuesday).
