"Let the green girl go!"
Wicked.
Reason # 1325 you could tell that Winnie Holzman wrote sitcoms. But I love it.

-I understand how it relates to the song title, but Come On! That makes, "Waltzing in her flat, waltzing with her cat," sound like Shakespere!

The Wicked punch line is actually "Lemons and melons and pears"
My friend and I are having a Broadway pary, and all the food is stuff from musicals, so that's what's going in our punch.

Kasim beat me to this one from Wicked:
"Apples, peaches, and pears" then Glinda responds "Oh my"

Depending on how the actress delivers it: "I'm pretty. I'm a pretty girl, mama!" from Gypsy. It can be poignant or laughable based on the line reading.
"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal
"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

The end of Thoroughly Modern Millie:
(pretty much the entire last two pages, but these are my two favorites)
Millie: You don't think...
Jimmy: I do.
Millie: You don't mean...
Graydon: WHITE SLAVERY!
(because that's always the logical conclusion when someone doesn't show up for something)
AND
Muzzy: So you see snookums, you can marry the boss after all.
Milly: Who cares? I found myself a green glass love.
Jimmy: Funny, I found myself an emerald.

I've always hated this Into the Woods Cinderalla line in the second act:
"My father's house was a nightmare. Your house was a dream. Now I want something in between."
Like a bad Hallmaek card.

"Come on Joe, you're in the act.

"also WICKED: "Nessa, I've got something to confess-a." Just- no."
Actually, the line is "...something to confess a reason why", so the "A" is part of the second thought ("...something to confess. A reason why...").
I can't believe I just defended "Wicked". Lookame playing Devil's Advocate!

In response to
"Children of Eden:
Chorus: "Oh Noah! You Go-a! All the way back to the Protazoa!"
I love that line in that it's so SUPER cheesy. We just did Eden and us techies had a little dance party back stage during that line. Good times.

See, I've always heard it as two 'a's right there- "I've got something to confess-a, a reason why..." But maybe not, maybe it is just confess... ok so now I have to go listen to the cast recording again, thanks! :)

"I jumped over the... MOOO!" I love Rent, but that's the worst line ever. Especially because it's supposed to be a beautiful, touching moment but it's ruined for me because I'm cringing at the line.

Slight threadjack, but:

AMEN.

Anything with the words "terror" and "tartar" in the same sentence. Makes me think of that green stuff you eat on fish.

Maybe isn't really a line...maybe it's a lyric...but it's screamed, so we're going with dialogue within a song:
"Look at her, she's wicked, get her!" (entire chorus of Wicked)
Makes me roll with laughter *every time*.

Muriel in DRS. "It's all accordion to how you look at it!" Always got groans from the audience.
And Hairspray has oodles of cheesy lines. One of my favorites is "Oh Link, what a special night. Your ring, and our very own blowtorch!"
