"Did I miss something?"

And when The Chaperone blocked Janet throughout the scene.

It's been almost six months now since I saw Drowsy in L.A. Thanks so much for making me laugh out loud again with all of these wonderful, funny moments you've listed.

It reminded me just how much I enjoyed seeing this show. There are some truly CLASSIC musical theatre moments here. You've brought it back to me again!

Many thanks to all of you.

EDIT: And you must always remember the whole point of this is... (cane crashes) "while you can."

*Beth Leavel stumbled out of the fridge after "Show Off" all tied up and says:* Did I... miss something??

It KILLED me. I LOVE that woman.

re: Monkey song.

It's that "terrible" Act II schmaltzy pity-ballad that Sutton sings, and then it morphs into this huge dream ballet, complete with random nonsequetor "Gene Kelly" references and two replacement "dream ballet" dancers ala Oklahoma! And it's all about a stupid "Monkey" reference she sings in that song that "they should have cut" as Man In Chair says, but instead it's lifted out and blown up to the point of over-the-top insanity.

"Suddenly... We're in Paris!" And for no apparent reason, etc.

Totally brilliant.

"I have a once-a-month cleaning lady who comes in and moves my records around, so I have to say "No touch records, Carmela." Of course, she might not touch them if I spoke to her in complete sentences."

Haha, something like that. So true for anyone who's ever had a maid like that.

-EVERYTIME Aldolpho said his name.
-In the beginning when the main in the chair was talking about racism and he said "lets leave it to disney".
-the beginning of "act II" when the wrong song played.
-when the power went out and the whole cast was on stage with the plane, the electrician was talking about his favorite shows and he says "can you believe in miss saigon they land a helicopter on stage!"
-the whole vodka/water scene
-towards the end when the underlying says "I need some ice water"
-the whole marrige/divorce "alien lying next to you in bed" story.

i was practically hyperventilating at the end of the show.

Wow, this thread is GREAT!!! It reminded me of so many wonderful moments I loved from the show- can't wait to see it again!
For some reason, I LOVED his bitter reference to the Morosco- it was so true and funny in a way that could only be appreciated by true musical lovahs!

-Elton line
-All of Adlolpho's lines...priceless
-"What is it about the Asians that frightens us Caucasians?"
-"That's pure vodka you poop!"
-The electrician scene
-"Did I miss something?"
-Also love the monkey song
-laughed my butt off at the (cane crashes)..."while you can"

And many more. I'm sure I was disturbing the people next to me (who didn't move a muscle) because I was laughing so hard.

I don't even know where to start. I laughed so hard from beginning to end. "Bride's Lament" has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. When Bob Martin starts rubbing his temples because the lyrics are so bad... oh, my, we were in hysterics.

YES YES What a great thread. This really is the funniest show I have ever sat through. It has one hilarious moment after another. I was hurting so badly after seeing it. And what was most amazing was that I laughed HARDER the second time I saw it.

But I have to say the faux Act Two killed me. When Aldopho dressed up as the Chinese emperor said, "WHUUUT" again, I fell out. It so ingenious.

I noticed that Clive Barnes didn't like the show. Is this another show that appeals mostly to teen-agers?

"I don't understand the question"! I was dying!

And of the monkey song.... The first line I was just like "wtf?" and laughed hysterically!
