Worst Broadway Lyric ever? — Page 22

If no one has said it, 2 stretches in the Legally Blonde Remix:

You proved it to me
Now show everyone what you can do
AND YOU LOOK GREAT IN DARK BLUE!

But I see a star
You're my new muse
YOU'VE GOT THE BEST FREAKIN SHOES!
And you lit a fuse
So go show them who's
Legally Blonde!

truman i actually really like that lyric. i feel like it's a cute, teenager-y thing to say, and it fits with how the rest of bare will read, as well as with the dynamic of peter and jason's relationship.

IDK if these have been mentioned before, but:

"Welcome back to down, I should lie down, everything's brown, and uh-oh, I feel sick!"-Rent

THAT IS AN ACTUAL SONG FROM AN ACTUAL BROADWAY MUSICAL.

Don't get me wrong, I love this song, but sometimes it's funny how writers repeat themselves within the same few lines of each other. I don't think this is the worst ever by any means... just not the best.

The Wizard and I:

"If I make good
So I'll make good:
When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since birth"

"Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?" <- very Oz-ish choice of wording, but it works

"Men like you can never change....a man.....such as you!"

from LES MIS

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I hate "We have way of making you vote for us, or at least from making you abstain" during A New Argentina from Evita. It totally stops the flow of the song. And it's just really awkward to listen to.
