A bunch of Broadway quotes were just posted on Overheard in NY:
Twenty-ish girl exiting theater: Ugh... It's like getting out of prison...
--Stage door for Mary Poppins, 41st St
Angry old lady: You shouldn't have to be distracted by all these ideas when you're watching a play.
--Cymbeline, BAM
Shocked lady fanning herself after first act of Spring Awakening: Well, that certainly wasn't Cats.
--O'Neill Theater
Girl on cell: Wait, she quit her job to come see the show?
--Rush line for Spring Awakening
Blue-haired person to another: I didn't care for it, but the Asians will love it!

Ok, I know OiNY can take a while to post quotes, but this is a little ridiculous, no?

Me: You could check out Grey Gardens, its just a few blocks up from here.
2 Tourists: What is that about?
Me: The documentary that came out in the early 70s about Jackie-O's aunt in cousin living as social recluses.
2 Tourists: Oh, ok, and what is this show about?
Me: Legally Blonde? Um... its based on the movie.
2 Tourists: What movie.
Me: Um. Legally Blonde... the movie... with Reese Witherspoon? Came out a couple years ago? No?...

Girl #1: B*tch, please -- you do it all the time.
