re: what shows can you recite?

"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".
"If there is going to be a restoration fee, there should also be a Renaissance fee, a Middle Ages fee and a Dark Ages fee. Someone must have men in the back room making up names, euphemisms for profit." (Emanuel Azenberg)

I can recite Phantom word for word.
"You alone can make my song take flight, it's over now, the Music of the Night!!!!!"

re: what shows can you recite?

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.

"Who says you can't bend over backwards and eat bugs if you want to? I guess the bugs would probably say you can't do that that, but assuming that they are willing and consenting bugs, then there's no problem. Let's wig out eating bugs." -RuPaul

re: what shows can you recite?

I'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.

re: what shows can you recite?

Hairspray. If I say or hear one line or lyric, it's hard not to hear in my head or recite whatever comes after it.

#25

re: what shows can you recite?

"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!
