"The door" at the end of One Song Glory on the OBC of Rent does my head in every time I hear it. Sudden transition from cool and rocky to dumb, goofy, camp and *incredibly* annoying.
Definitely seconding the crazy southern grandma "Chris" on Miss Saigon.
Also "Enjolras!" at the start of Red and Black on the Les Mis CSR

Up until someone told him otherwise, my brother thought the 'Enjolras!' at the beginning of "Red and Black" was someone sneezing.

Then again, he's not the brightest bulb. He thought that one bit went, "We must be ready for the fight... for the final fight... the lion sleeps tonight." And he thought that Colm Wilkinson's name was Cole Malkinson until a week ago.

Yes. Although, I've always been more bothered by "THE FLOOR?" in the middle of Light My Candle. Although, more especially on the movie soundtrack. So stupid, like he literally doesn't understand what the floor is.

ooo, I second/third all the Parade lines. the accents are so overdone...especially "The Picture Show." ridiculous:
"her mahmah lets her due whutEver she wawnts."
"I wus hopin' I culd go with yew!"
"BYE sunshine!"

also, and I know this isn't OBCR, but the movie soundtrack to "Fiddler" has SO many great/silly moments. the "nightmare" sequence & the wedding/dancing scenes are probably my two favorites.

Ahaha! Agree with the film soundtrack to Fiddler!

My sister's favourite is the classic, "I'll never take you sailing!" from AIDA's "Enchantment Passing Through." We're always impersonating his voice on that line.

I love David Firth and Philip Quast trying to be American's in The Fix! Especially in "Two Guys at Harvard"... Wa-la-wa-la-boom!

>> The Libretto has Raoul saying "Christine, angel!" He's calling out to her as the door unlocks and he bursts in to find the room empty. It's never been the Phantom saying it. He's not even visible at that moment and is in fact busy getting into the boat. The Phantom doesn't even have another spoken or sung line until "I have brought you..." as the entire title song is pre-recorded.>>

NO NO NO! Shmerg was OBVIOUSLY referring to the part when Raoul says Christine x 2 and the Phantom replies (a la Michael) "Christine" before All I Ask of You. BTW, the Phantom does say "Bravi, Bravi, Bravissimi" before Angel of Music.
The part you are referring to is after Little Lotte which you mentioned.
