I love so many from Urinetown that i can't think of one. One of my faves from Wicked:
Fieryo: I've been thinking...
Elphaba: I heard! (raises her fist as if she's cheering for him).

Ave Q: After "I'm not Wearing Underwear Today" when Christmas Eve yells 'Get a job!' and Brian answers 'Thank you... honey' I don't know why that gets me everytime, but it does.

Otherwise, I'd say the entire CD of Avenue Q.

"Let the green girl go"
"She's phosphorescent"
"The artichoke is steamed"
"Pink goes good with green" ... basically all of the lines that comment on Elphie's color.

Never saw Assassins, but have read the script and I agree that the scenes between Sara Jane Moore and Squeaky Fromme are the best...they are funny just reading them.

finally someone else who likes 1776!!! thank you shbrtally - "aw sweet jesus" is definetly one of my faves

plus amneris' speech in the bedchamber scene from aida -
A - "you come into my room waging a full frontal attack, so to speak, and now you're stalling - why?"

R - "it didn't realize - "

A - "there's a butt naked princess lounging in her bedchamber screaming your name! what exactly didn't you realize? before our wedding night pack up some of that monkey meat and have the royal cartographers draw you a map of the female body, then captain maybe you'll be more inclined to come explore!! [he exits] was it something i said?"

okay so it's more than a line but i couldn't resist i love it!!


"Nothing is an accident, We are free to have it all, We are what we want to be, It's in ourselves to rise or fall!!" - "Fortune Favors the Brave" from Aida - the love that never died

OH YEAH. I got DRAGGED to see a friend perform in an opera a few years back. Oy! It was an opera, performed in English, called DIALOGUE OF THE CARMELITES. An older opera, based on a true story of an abby of nuns who were beheaded during the French Revolution....my hand to GOD. (I still don't understand WHY the revolutionaries beheaded these nuns?!) NOT making this up. Well, one of the nuns sang, in this schmaltzy, over the top mezzo stlye:"Put down that ridiculous IRON." It sounded more like:"Putdownthatridiculous iiiiiiiiiURN."

In the final scene, the the nuns went offstage to get beheaded, one by one. They had one of those big office-paper-slicers in the wing for the sound of the guillotine. (Who DIRECTED this thing???) As each nun went off u heard this big "ca-CHUNG!" and then she stopped singing. It was like 10 Little Indians, till the last 1 one was silenced. Well, I tell you - I just wet my drawers.

"Put down that ridiculous iiiiiiiiiURN."

I always laugh so hard during "Special" when, after Lucy says "Yeah, they're real," Trekkie says "I knew it!"

Every time I listen to the first act finale of Urinetown I laugh remembering all the stuff happening on stage. One of the best first act finales in Broadway history.

'and now mark will preview his new documentary on his inability to hold an erection on high holy days'

'its like being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being packed in w/ fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal mickey mouse!' (makes you wonder what larson was smoking when he wrote that... now i will never be able to look at mickey mouse the same way again hehe)

also the sight of:
mr gray's face when maureen moons him (if the actor is good)and also when she joanne are having their little love fest durring LVB with the excuse that they are close sisters
