Galinda: Elphie, now that we're friends I've decided to make you my new project.
Elphaba: You really don't have to do that.
Galinda: I know. That's what makes me so nice.

This actually makes my mom laugh every time she hears it. And she hates it when I play my Wicked CD over and over.

I love the one dididda used from Aida.

Not my favorite per se, but I'm listening to Cabaret right now (naturally) and this one just came on. I love the whole scene this comes from, but these few lines are really cute:
Cliff: "Have you ever had a whim?"
Sally: "Constantly! I used to love pretending I was someone else - someone mysterious and fascinating - until one day I grew up and realized I *was* mysterious and fascinating!"

Broadwaynut- I too saw Hairspray in Boston and they made a bunch of Boston cracks the audience loved. At one point Bruce goes "He's been doing this sinse the big dig." and the audience love it.

This has already been said but..
Fiyero: Listen, I've been thinking
Elphaba: Yes I've heard

There was one from Hairspray which I don't remember it exactly but it was something on the lines of "If little girls didn't make mistakes there owuld be no more little girls."
