"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I don't think Norm Lewis has enough charisma onstage to be Audrey II. He definitely has it offstage... but then again, I've never seen him in a comedy.
My dreams: Lea Salonga as Baker's Wife in Into the Woods Aaron Lazar as Cinderella's Prince in Into the Woods Idina Menzel as Eponine in Les Mis (just to see what happens) Lea Michele as Eponine (to hear her belt, she doesn't really show it off in SA) Sutton Foster as Audrey opposite Hunter as Seymour (it would be so hilarious) I second Adam Pascal as Joseph in Dreamcoat. I would only go to see Joseph if he was playing Joseph, actually...
Cosette: Roses are red.
Marius: Violets are blue.
Eponine: You're so in love!
Marius: And so not with you.

The choosing was not...
