I have obviously been able to find many of the more obvious references, but I was wondering what references you people were able to find.

I thought it was funny to hear John Cariani making a reference to Fiddler on the Roof as well as former Rum Tug Tugger David Hibbard make a little reference to Cats.

And the whole Omelette sequence was referencing the Reduced Shakespeare Company who, during their Hamlet sequence, referred to "Omelette, the cheese danish,"

I thought the funniest references were actually the ones in performance scene at the end, when the references were more clever and spoken in Shakespearean language. Man of La Mancha, Ragtime, West Side Story, Music Man, etc. Nobody laughed at the Ragtime reference except me and the friend I was with.

In their performance of Omelette, he says something along the lines of "I dreamed a dream Horatio, an Impossible dream, there were wheels upon yon dream" - a tripple-whammy reference to Les Mis, Man of La Mancha and Ragtime.

"We're having trouble coming up with what a musical should be about. I need you to look into the future, and tell me what kind of concept can be made into a musical!"

"Chess!!" (pause) "No, no, that couldn't possibly work..."
 

"The Prince is visited by... the ghost of his father! His father has been murdered by the Prince's uncle. And the uncle's name is... SCAR."
