Lorrel: I said I'm a woman now.
Curtis: Dreamettes are girls, you're women now.
Lorrel: I told you Deena!
Heather's delivery makes this hilarious...and while I'm on a Dreamgirls note:
Announcer: Now presenting the Creamettes!!
Deena: No, we're the Dreamettes, we're the Dreamettes! (on stage) Hi! We're the Dreamettes.
AND
Effie: That piece you knockin' off, she ain't nothin' but common.

I have two. Both of which are SO true!
And the audience loves her. And I love the audience for loving me and they love me for loving me and we just love each other. That's because none of us got enough love in our childhood and that's showbiz kids! Roxie Hart in CHICAGO
The second one is my signature quote below spoken by Delores Montoya in Broadway's The Wild Party.
"For me, THEATRE is an anticipation, an artistic rush, an emotional banquet, a jubilant appreciation, and an exit hopeful of clearer thought and better worlds."

"The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind"-Christine (Phantom of the Opera. DUH!)
or
"He's there the Phantom of the Opera!"-Meg Giry (that is all she seems to say in the musical and movie! LOL!)
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...
(The Highwayman. Sung by: Loreena McKennitt)

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

Was that Barbara? In "No Strings"?
OOps - my edit. It wasn't her. She sang "The young have an option on youth, and I'm as young as I ever will be." (can't argue with that)

"I said turn it off!"
And pretty much the rest of Louise's dressing room monologue from Act II of Gypsy. Tammy Blanchard scared the crap out of me with her delivery.

Murial: I'd like to thank you for a lovely time. I'll never forget the generous hospitality of you showing me the sights of your little town or the heat of you riding me cross-eyed like some glorious, bucking, French stallion.
Andre: Excuse me?
Murial: It really is a charming place!
Andre: Yes, well perhaps next time you pass this way I can show you the countryside. There is the most delightful little vineyard where you can once again wrap your legs around my head and squeeze it like a grape until the wine of your lus.t flows from my eyes.
Murial: What?
Andre: They make cheese too!
DRS
Yeah, that made me laugh. Really, REALLY hard.
