Wierdest thing you've ever done in public from a Broadway show- Page 2

I, too, always check the date on pennies for the sake for of going "Oh look, a penny. It's from the year I was born. IT'S A SI-III-II-IIII-III-IGNNN. HA!" I've also been known to shut elevator doors quickly before the passenger in question can make it in, prompting a rendition of "Schadenfreude."

And being near any kind of mexican food gets me going with "To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese." (I'm also prone to making other RENT references in everyday life... but then again... who isn't?)

I do a lot of weird things.. mostly, the sad part is is that no one else knows what Im doing or where its from so they just stare.

-I went to see My Fair Lady at the Bushnell and they had this huge Wicked poster in the streets so I ran up to it and pounced on it, hugging it. People ran away.

-My friend and I were having a fight and she said thats a lie, so I responded with: I had a tea the other day

-I was in a debate about how some people are kicked out of their homelands because of racism and I was on the side that was racist. My defense was , "Everyone's a little bit racist."

I was playing a game of Taboo (in the middle of a park) with my best friends. The word: Martini. The clue that the person used: "Moneypenny, my _____". Not only did all of us scream out the word, but there was at least a fifteen minute music break from the game.

The stairs leading up to the prop room at my high school looked JUST like the stairs Mimi has for "Out Tonight" including the bars at the top where she lays down for "you're on line with the feline of avenue b"

So I had plenty of fun during shows there dancing down the stairs and standing on bars about 10 feet up.

I always stand center stage of any theatre that I walk into and belt out, "I HAD A DREAM, A DREAM ABOUT YOU BABY!"

Then I go right into the last few bars and hold the note as long as I can. Everyone around the theatre just stops and wonders what in the f^ck is going on.

I was at a cast party this summer, and all of these people are Broadway freaks. We started singing every broadway show we knew- we did RENT, Miss Saigon, Les Mis, Wicked, Avenue Q, Chess, The Last 5 Years, Songs for a New World, etc. I was the only one that knew every word to every single one. These Broadway freaks were calling me a freak.

Also, many MANY things will prompt a launch into song:
Calvin Klein- "The Calvin Klein model? Steve, gotta go. The model! Who lives in penthouse A?"
"How are you?" "I'm fine."- "I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine..."

And so many more.

Whenever I'm in an elevator (alone) I always think about Defying Gravity and the "It's MEEEEE" part.

I'll also do some La Cage kicks where no one will notice .

Well... let's see

-Everytime someone says "Ok" I have to add "Ok ok ok ok right right right, mother you're right!" from Bat Boy
-The words "Popular" and "Gravity" spur a Wicked rendition.
-I Tango: Maureen whenever possible.
-One of my friends and I re-enact as many Broadway musicals as possible when we hang out. Our most dead-on would have to be Hairspray.
-I'm prone to recite Joanne's talking on the phone with Maureen in Rent... no idea why but I do it quite often.
-Sad to say, I usually leave church humming "Jesus Must Die"...
-And I will admit to blasting La Vie Boheme and more or less going insane, dancing and screaming the lyrics... oh boy, if my voice teacher witnessed those moments I'd be dead.

My two best friends and I always break into song randomly, so people are pretty much used to it. The see us time warping down the hallway in school and they think " it's just katie and the drama fags" so when I had to get up and gave a speech for some school elections. I prefaced my speech with " I have always been a woman who arranges things.....for the pleasure and the profit it durives. I have always been a woman who arranged thing like furnature and daffodils and lives." Of course only the drama kids know I was ripping off quotes from Hello, Dolly but I won the election and that quote made the school news paper.

So anytime and EVERYtime someone in my gov. class would mention "anarchy", that was it. The best part was that I wouldnt stop with La Vie Boheme B until I was done. My friend sitting next to me was ready to sHOOT me, as this happened multiple times a class period.

i go to a catholic high school...so whenever we have church and say Confiteor (what they say in the beginning of BARE) when finished I always start singing..."One among us dances with the devil..."
---
In the halls at school my friend Ashley and I pop our collars, snap our fingers and do the West Side Story dances.
---
I just randomly sing showtunes in class...
---
There are many others...

When I keep my sisters' kids, I starve the boys (ala Mr. Bumble) and verbally abuse the girls (ala Miss Hannigan). And whenever I'm in an Atlantic City casino, I walk around singing "Follow the Fold" in the hopes of converting a few souls. And every time I snort cocaine, I start singing "Breezin' Through Another Day."

Seriously, though, enough alcohol has been known to make me sing anything on the streets from "Grow for Me" to the Miami song that Rose and Dorothy wrote. They should really work that into a musical. I have to say what I feel...

I heart Calvin because he knows the words to the Miami song from Golden Girls

Try singing it in a crowd that has absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Let's just say some gay men almost got their cards revoked that night.

The other day at school, we were learning about wine and beer, and as soon as he said it, my friends went, "oh, no, here she goes..."

My friends and I have sung La Vie Boheme, Out Tonight and Over The Moon all the way through so many times, it's scary.

Also, if anyone says anything such as "Ginsberg", "Pee Wee Herman", or "Dorothy and Toto", I have to do La Vie Boheme all the way through from that line on.

I wear a key around my neck. "It's not the key to my heart, how sentimental. It's the key to my handcuffs, my boyfriend Roger Davis is still handcuffed to the bed, better go free him...after a while."

When one of our family was leaving, I sang "For Good" to her.

At lunch, I beg my friends for food singing "Feed Me/Git It". I even taught one of them Seymour's part.

I sing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" at balconies.

I snap my fingers randomly walking down the street.

I do so much more than that, but that's all for now, boys and girls.

My friend Marcus and I were walking through campus the other day singing "It Sucks To Be Me". We got looks, it was fun.

I regularly use lines from Rent and my friends look at me like I am on pot.

I go to a Catholic High School too and we talk about how it is jail and so we do a lot of the Rent dances to La Vie Boheme in that hallways.

I make a lot of references to famous musical theatre divas and no one has any clue what I mean. Like my history teacher was talking about how most people need to be with other people and broke out with "People, People who need people are the luckiest people in the world" and two people got it in the class including the teacher.

I once sang "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" at Model United Nations conference in front of the Security Council for no apparent reason. I also tend to sing "What was a women to do" in the elevator, regardless if there are people in their or not. Geek!!!!I think so!

Whenever I'm near a railing I can't help but to bust out in my tight blue vinyl pants and start working the bars. I do a mean OUT TONIGHT, fa real, you'd be impressed.

Posted: 10/2/05 at 1:51pm

I do the traditional "cold, cold, would you light my candle," when someone says cold, as well as me and my friend singing the entire Tune Up #2 and Voice Mail #1 in front of our theater company. I was also the only one of my family laughing at the Golden Girls skit in SNL, because it reminded me of Rue, which reminded me of Wicked; and speaking of Wicked, when a friend is gossiping about someone, I go right into "no good deeeed gooooes unpuniiiished!" and do the arm thing from the show. My personal favorite was when my friends and I were eating lunch, suddenly there was dead silence, and then I broke into, "don't scream Maureen, it's me, Joanne..." and so on. I tend to start singing What Was A Women To Do as well.

Oh my have I done a lot of things...

+ I was in my car with the windows down, sun roof open, and had one of my random Bway mixes playing. "Life of the Party" from Wild Party came on, and I started belting it. When the song was over, I was stopped at a red light. and the people in the car next to me started aupplauding and asking for an encore. hehe

+I randomly burst out into random Bway songs walking down the hall in school or at the mall, or anywhere. Sometimes my friends join in (if its a song they know), sometimes they pretend not to know me.

+One time in history class, my teacher said 'Seize the Day' (i have no idea why), so me and my two other newsies-loving friends burst out singing Seize the Day. the teacher thought we were insane.

and many many many other things, i just can't think right now...

Whenever people say things that are also lyrics in song I start to sing the songs. Yesterday my friend said "how do you feel today?" I immediately started saying lines from Life Support, lol.

Every time i get on an elevator, I tap dance haha (millie)

umm a long time ago at a school dance my guy friend asked me to dance and i jokingly said "if you wana grind it.. wait till you've refined it" from "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" in Gypsy

Last week my chem teacher started out a powerpoint with "In 1899.." and i was like "da streets of new york city echoed with the voices of the newsies.." haha i break out into Newsies ANYWHERE.

a lot more but i cant remember..

whenever I put a DVD into the player, it shows the word "loading" and since my sister doesn't speak English but she loves Wicked, she always starts singing the song "loathing".

I love it, it makes me laugh.
