We were discussing the fall of Saigon and i said something like
"i've never really studied it before, but I know that Thieu resigned from Miss Saigon" and he proceeded to sing the whole Telephone Song.
my friend keri and i are notorious for breaking into bway songs in the hallway at school during the day. the most recent one was when we were ordering something to eat the other day
"I don't know what I want."
"But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?"
"Would I know?"
"All I know is"
"I never wish..just for this reason"
"What I want most of all..is to know what I want.."
"When you know you can't have what you want..wheres the profit in wishing.."
do you ever have musical theater experiences during work or school?

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous
