Agnes Gooch (Mame) is singing of being pregnant,
"If life is a banuet, I stuffed myself!"



"We really need a good revival of Mame on Broadway."

-Theaterbaby
i agree, Mame is one of the greatest shows I think I've ever seen. It's a classic and it needs to be revived!!

jackie Hoffman at the hairspray matinee ::

"The biggest hit show on Broadway and we have empty seats in the front row. What's the matter with people, Lon? Are they afraid of the rain? .. bunch of pussies."

When Whoopi Goldberg was in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum", her character was trying to talk Hysterium into dressing like a woman. Conversation went something like:


Hysterium: He'll never believe I'm a girl. Look at me.
Whoopi: Mmmm, Miss Thang. You are SO FINE!!!
Hysterium: But what if he tries to kiss me?
Whoopi: He won't try to kiss you.
Hysterium: How can he help it if I'm, 'SO FINE'?


The guy playing Hysterium said that last line with a Whoopi-esque 'black-cent'. It was so funny I almost cried.

Miss Preen- "Oh, you mustn't eat candy Mr Whiteside, it's very....bad.....for.....you."

Sheridan Whiteside- "Miss Preen. My Great aunt Jennifer ate a whole box of candy everyday of her life, she lived to be a hundred and two, and when she had been dead for three days she still looked better than you do now."

while strolling down memory lane the other day, i came across some old SP quotes:

"Oh no, I love black. Just not on me...or anyone that I know. Of course, if I had your complexion, I might wear black too." ~Percy

"Boys, when they ask you where you've been for the last two days what will you tell them?"
"Off netting butterflies {look from Percy} I *was* off netting butterflies" ~Percy + Elton

"We meet again Sir Percy."
"So we do and you appear to have lost none of your flair for stating the obvious." ~Chauvelin + Percy

hee...also remembered one from Kiss Me Kate

"Oh there was a waltz in it, remember? Something about a bar" ~Lilli

P.S. I am determined to not let this thread die - so keep thinking!! :)

More BAT BOY! I love this show...

Meredith: "You have to look out for these boys Shelly. MOst of them are so out of control with their hormones that they really aren't in charge of their actions. But you don't suffer from their hormonal problems, so you'll bear the responsibility if something happens."
Shelly: "Like what?"
Meredith: "The wages of sin is death, sweetheart, that's all I'm saying."

Lorraine: "Oh, you boys are in denial. I went out to that ranch of yours yesterday and every one of those bony cows was lying around like a welfare mother."

Mrs. Taylor: "That's right. Burn, you freak! Burn! You'll pay for what you did to me. You'll pay in hell Bat Boy!"

Parker: "Don't worry folks, the creature is on what is commonly know as a 'rampage.'"

"Watch them, Charlotte. Watch them both like--"
"A hawk? I know, dear. You're the tiger, I'm the hawk. We're our own zoo!"

Most anything "Little Sally" from URINETOWN:

"How 'bout bad subject matter? Or a bad title, even, that could kill a show pretty good."

"Not so much, as it is, a METOPYHSICAL place!"
