I wasn't sure what else I could do. It's not much, but:
Someone once read me a fairytale
and took me to places magical
Where homes were made of gingerbread
and the skies were always blue
Where pumpkins turned to coaches
And wishes all came true
Someone sang me a lullabye
I could fly above the rain clouds
Close my eyes
Let the melody carry me
Leave all my fears behind
I floated across the rainbow sky
To once upon a time
I BELIEVED IN MIRACLES
Love would conquer all
Someone once showed me a fairytale
at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre magical
Where homes were made of chainlink fence and garbage
and the skies were always blue gel pretty
Where girls with belty voices had their
Wishes all come true
I only wish my final wish:
A Tony had come too
Love,
FindingNamo

Aww, that's cute.
I never saw it, but I'm gonna miss it 
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Brooklyn, you're unlike
Anything this stage has ever seen
Thank God. Bye-bye, crap.
It's a haiku.

"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."

When I meet the Wizard
My whole life will change...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

It is times like these where the only appropriate thing to do to express your sorrow is butcher up a Sondheim song.
Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end, didn't it?
Looked as though we wouldn't last out the year.
Yesterday disaster waited around the bend.
Well, my friend, spring is here.
Out of business
And ain't it grand
Let the good times roll
Yesterday things were out of hand
Now they're under control
Bye bye BKLYN
So long anxiety
Happiness, hello.
Hello. Hello.
Keep the status quo
Higher than this show.
Out of luck like the Wicked Witch.
The end has come.
Life's a bitch.
Out of business and ain't it grand.
Let. The. Good times. Roll.

They say the girls all belt so hard in BROOKLYN
But listening to it just gave me a pain
The critics are wrong, You know they are
None of them can even play guitar, Oh BROOKLYN!
The say the audience, they stay away from BROOKLYN
But now it heads out on the road!
Will it have any better luck?
Will it travel by garbage Truck? Oh BROOKLYN!
TKTS, Twofers and tourists couldn't save you BROOKLYN
Cause everybody knew that you just stank
But you got recorded, yes you did!
Bryan knows that Vibrations never will....

A show named Brooklyn was in NYC, it was different, magical and unique.
Though like no other Brooklyn was magical on it own- didn't even need green ladies belting songs.
There were many fans all around- people who have been changed by the songs.
They went online only to find a couple of idiots on Broadway World.
Idiots so blind they could not see that Brooklyn was speacial to many of we.
Users so smart they didn't not listen- for they knew they were right end of question.

Posted: 5/25/05 at 7:52pmBrooklyn is going to have the distinction of being my first last show
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I hate how people spell it BKLYN. I know its on the logo. Are producers trying to appeal to an audience that doesnt know how to spell? It would be like if I wrote a musical called Frisco (about SF) and spelled it FRSKO. ew.
I'll see Brooklyn (note that its spelled B R O O K L Y N) IN HELL!

Posted: 5/25/05 at 8:35pmI think the BKLYN logo resembles the Rent logo.
