I learned not to put mirrors on walls because, well, you never know what kind of people are going to come thru it (i.e. Hugh Panaro as the Phantom.....then again....maybe I should rethink this :) *g*

Drink, drink, drink (that's an oldie, but goodie).

Don't forget, 'tis he who'll have the fun and thee the baby!

Playing with matches a girl could get burned.

Loveliness is one thing I can do. It's a gift for me to share with you.

Forget about the boy.

(Do you all spot a theme here???)

It's no sicker than your thing with dwarves.

Freedom is a blast of cool wind that burns your face to wake you up. Literally.

No one in your life is with you constantly...No one is completely on your side.

They've closed everything real down and replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life.



Someone dying with AIDS can be revitalized by singing her a song about her eyes.

i actually have learned a lot for musicals
after listening to the assasins revival cast recording i had a conversation with my mom and said,
in high school i learned all this..dont remember a thing.
now after listening to it being sung.
i can probably tell you everything.
and will be able to for the rest of my life.
I was in quiz bowl for a year in high school (my teacher needed someone who knew things about music and theatre and said hed give me a higher grade in english).
one of the questions was
"What year was Edgar Allen Poe Born?"
of course.
I thought of the song "Edgar Allen Poe" from Snoopy the musical
and quickly responded
"Eighteen Hundred and Nine"
those are just 2 examples.
but i know there are so much more.
I should never have even taken a history class.
I should have sat at home with my cast recordings all day.
haha

i don't know that one either.

-Your papa was a pig!
-Your mama was a snake!
-don't deny your beast inside.
-Bossie's thin as fishin' pole
-Bessie's flat as a flounder
-the hills are alive with the sound of music
-the grey stuff is delicious (BATB)

'Someone dying with AIDS can be revitalized by singing her a song about her eyes.'

If Adam was singing that to me i definitely would be revitalized!!

-Though I'm Tyranasaurus Rex-y, some'll find me sexy in my way... Though it may take some time to find 'em, when you do you'll have a ball... Cause out there somewhere someone's gonna love ya... WARTS and ALL! (Honk!)

-People who want you to off yourself in a fiery finale are not your friends. (Pippin)

-It's a hard knock life! (I actually aced a standardized history test one time in elementary school, because I knew about Roosevelt and the New Deal from Annie)

-even though it's not to broadway yet, I'm trying to learn poker hands from "Luck of the Draw" in Violet.

-because of Rent, I learned what S&M is........

-Loving you is not a choice it's who I am (Passion)

-That there's one Sondheim song it's REALLY funny to play at weddings. (Can you guess which one???)

-puppets can get away with sweet things that people would make look cheesy (AveQ)

-that the real reason that Kenedy was shot was that Lee was visited by John Wilkes Booth and every other presedential assassin in US history (and you thought it had something to do with the grassy knoll.....)

....That's all I got for now.

Contentment it seems merely happens, It appears Accompanied by no bravos and no tears

The world is good you said Enjoy it's highs you said The summer flies you said So make a parade Of every moment Now throw away your hate And focus on what's great instead

Come To Your Senses

Why do we stay with lovers who we know down deep just aren't right?
Why would we rather but ourselves through hell than sleep alone at night?
Why do you follow leaders who never lead?
Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution if we're so free?


god i love musicals...

Big Blonde and Beautiful is the Way

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Dont Dream it Be it (Rocky Horror Show)

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

Everythings as if we never sid good bye

Give my regard to Broadway(Geaorge M)

We got together like Ram a lam a lam a ka....(u all can finish it)

A little fall of Rain can hardly hurt me now

I cried Cause I felt Nothing

Its too darm hott

WE got TROUBLE(with a capitol T that ryhmes with p and stands for pool)

Any Dream will do

They'd never believe it If they could see me now

and there are many more if I felt like getting up and going thru my CDs

you'll walk a little taller in a pair of high-heeled shoes.

When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you.

And jumping on the Assassins bandwagon (I too am listening to it nonstop and have been since last Tuesday when I ran out of work at noon to buy it):

Zangara did it because his belly was on-a FIIIIIREEE!!

Zangara first was figure he kill Hoover.

God was acquitted and Charlie committed until he should hang, still he sang...

The shoe was on sale, too.

Johnny Booth was a headstrong fella.

Czolgosz did not want a sip.

Proprieters are evil, bald and HOT.

It takes a lot of men to make a gun. Hundreds. And a gun kills just as many men too.

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady, but soon they had it already.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 3:13pm

There are men of 19 or 20 who are suave and reckless and true, older men who give a girl plenty. (On Broadway, maybe. Of course there they're all gay. But in the real world, nooo wayyy)

VonTrapp children don't sing.

Step right up and strutt your stoof. (stuff)

[ponine24601]

-not to strut your stuff outragously is a crime
-brenda and eddie were the king and the queen at the prom.
