"The Phantom of the Opera"
"Rent"
I'm getting there with "The Drowsy Chaperone". And there was a time when, between constant OBC listenings and being in a production, I could recite "Les Miserables"...but I'm not sure I can anymore. As for straight plays, I can probably do a lot of David Ives' "All in the Timing".

Oh, I probably could perform Guys and Dolls by myself if I reread a copy of the script. I was in a production not to long ago as Nathan Detroit.
Sweeney Todd (mostly) and probably My Fair Lady as well.

#13re: what shows can you recite?
Posted: 8/24/06 at 3:31pmI've had Les Miz down pat since I was 10. I don't know about dialogue, but there are quite a few shows that I could sing completely from memory.

"My Fair Lady." I've never tried to do the whole thing, but I've done several of the scenes many times, so I think I might be able to.
I learned it by watching the movie a gazillion times, though, not by watching the play, so I don't know if that counts!
