New Theater Game- Musicals by First and Last word

Posted: 3/1/09 at 1:24am

Okay heres the idea kiddies- Post the first and last word uttered in a musical. Guess it right post the new one, easy enough

Sample: Dear, Omigod = Legally Blonde

First One:

Oh, Day

In the Heights. (Yes, easy)

Okay this is somewhat harder (if not "hard"). Here are two shows by the same lyricist. Enjoy.

1) to (first word in English), years
2) my, spirit

------

Also, "oh, day" is not Oklahoma because that ends with the title of the show and a yell... I couldn't think of it and looked at my iTunes for song titles that end in day and had no luck, so I am guessing the title of the finale doesn't end with the word "day", correct?

I am pretty stumped!

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

Anyone know "hello, show"? HINT: "Hello" is spoken.
How about "Once, fly"? HINT: "Once" is spoken and "fly" is part of an "encore" number.
And here's an easy one: "Dites, m'aimez". HINT: The show is in English.

Hint for my 1 and 2, they are also by the same composer. Beware, it is surprisingly difficult but try not to lament over it, it is possible. Figure out one of them and I'm sure the other will be a breeze! (I will give more hints if no one can figure it out)

New one... I'd call this expert difficulty.

-when, in
Hint: First name of the first person to sing the words "they're playing my song" in ONE specific show.
