Captain Hook

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Given enough time I could probably think of a couple dozen! First to come to mind though is Mame. (And here comes Mamma Rose)

"Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog? Dodo." That's my favorite line in the whole show (Wicked). My next favorite line is "Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed."

Okay, well that's one of them, I think. I have no idea... I don't feel authorized to make such a huge judgement.
