Show Moments that remind us of OTHER show moments

Posted: 8/27/04 at 11:02am

Has anyone here seen a show, or a moment in a show that reminded them of another show? If so what are they?

WICKED: (Thank Goodness: Dont Cry For Me Argetina (Evita))

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE: (Ending: Ending (A Funny Thing Happened...))

any others?

"The Blame" in TITANIC reminded me of "Your Fault" from INTO THE WOODS. I expected Bernadette Peters to burst into the room singing "The Last Midnight"!

Not necessarily the moment in the show, but more the song... For Good + Defying Gravity = Who Will Love Me as I Am (Sideshow). It's something about the lyrics and the 2 women singing that reminds me of it.

in certain recordings of sondheim. I think of other sondheim shows. But then again that makes sense. Dancing through life partially remeinds me of Cross the Line from big

The first time I saw Wicked (in SF), during the birth scene I immediately thought of Bat Boy! Especially since Sean McCourt was the father in both.

Urinetown reminded me of a lot of different musicals, but of course that was on purpose.

When I saw Beauty and the Beast (at a local theatre, they had to do stuff different than Disney - the costumes/sets couldn't be the same), the guy playing the Beast had Phantom under his previous roles. When Belle wants to go back and see her sick father (or something), the Beast yelled "Go, go!" and my brother and I both though, "Go now! Go now and leave me!"

I saw a production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and the Beast reminded me of clips I've seen from Phantom.

Wicked parallels AIDA in many ways (Glinda-Amneris, Elphaba=AIda, etc....) Glinda frames the show the same way Amneris does, blah blah blah. And As Long As your Mine is same style as Aida duets.

(intended) "Without Love" from "Hairspray" is "The Telephone Hour" from "Bye, Bye Birdie"

One time this lady was talking behind me at The Boy From Oz which reminded me of another time when another lady was talking behind me at The Producers.

Every time I hear Wicked, I always think of Children of Eden, because the score is very similar. And when I hear Joseph...Dreamcoat, I think of Starlight Express, because some of the melodies repeat themselves.

not show to show but show to movie

in fiddler tevye forbids the youngest daughter from seeing the russian telling her that they are like a fish and a bird (sorry don't know the actual line"

it always makes me think of ever after - when da vinci comes to rescue daniella from her cell and get her to the ball - refering to a commoner marrying a prince she says "a bird may love a fish senor, but where will they live?"

there are so many - a few times in wicked there are a group of notes that remind me of children of eden or pippen that are so similar.
but a lot of times i'll be listening to a song and one note held a certain way or a group of words will remind me of a moment from another song. apparently, with music i think you're allowed to have 4 bars that are the same w/o it being plagerism or something like that. i thought that was interesting.
but that always happens to me and it's like de ja vu (no idea how to spell that) b/c often i can't put my finger on the song it reminds me of and then it hits me later

I know this was made as a satire of it, but in Ave Q when Lucy T Slut goes into Roses Turn.
