My friends and I were playing this game the other night trying to go around the circle saying your favorite line from a show. If you could not think of one on your turn, you were out. (Lame, I know. Again, I ask, how gay AM I?)

All I have to do is find this Libra man.

Valjean says to the Innkeeper:
I will pay in advance...

And the Innkeeper gives him a choice:

You leave my house!
Or feel the weight of my rod.


p.s. But then, without having time to choose,
Valjean is thrown out of the inn.

What kind of world do we live in where we can't discuss the similarities between pornography and the Musical Theatre.

I wish i could remember it well enough to quote it...from Spring Awakening when Moritz tells Melchoir he prayed for consumption and to take the sticky dreams away!

If you took the “W” from who, the “H” from ghost, the extra “A” from aardvark, and the “T” from tsunami, you could say “WHAT?” forever and nobody could ever hear you because it’s all silent.

From Grey Gardens

Little Edie: I came down here to take care of my dying mother.
Big Edie: I never asked you, I ...
Little Edie: Then she pulled a fast one on me. She kept right on breathing.

Jelly...its all in the delivery! Classic line! There are so many right now (majority of them from Grey Gardens) but my favorite is the Man in Chair's little monologue at the end of the show.

[Jellylorum]

Most of my favorites are from Grey Gardens too! I think I'm in love with everything that comes out of Little Edie's mouth; everything she says is just so quotable.

"It's the only true pleasure we have left in the world - trashing other people, especially when they have something you want."

It's from THE SCENE, playing at 2nd Stage.

Let's get one thing straight -- I never heard of "The Red Shoes." I never saw "The Red Shoes." I don't give a **** about "The Red Shoes."

Oh, Val, you slay me.

Okay this is a long story but it's worth it...

So I take my mom to SPELLING BEE and my mom luckily gets selected to compete. She gets up onstage wearing an obnoxious sweet sweater - and she looks like well - a typical soccer mom. She is speller # 2 and is introduced by Rona Perreti like this, "An aspiring fashion designer, Mrs. Smith wore this outfit the night she was voted off Project Runway!" and of course the whole audience cracked up. Needless to say - my mom never wore that outfit again. Best line ever!

"If you took the “W” from who, the “H” from ghost, the extra “A” from aardvark, and the “T” from tsunami, you could say “WHAT?” forever and nobody could ever hear you because it’s all silent."

That's one of my favorites too! She used different words when I saw it though. It was the W in answer and the T in listen.

And even though it closed...
"Oh my god, the whole thing turns."
