Well we've had the general musicals thread but how about a straight quotes thread?
Any quote is good be it dialogue or lyrics. Correct answer has to be at least the musical it's from, but for extra points (not that there are actual points of course) the song title if it's a lyric) and the character speaking/singing should really be posted too.
I'll start (possibly paraphrasing but I'm pretty sure they're right)
"No-one ever treated me kindly Daddy left early, Mommy was poor I'd meet a man and follow him blindly He'd snap his fingers and I'd say 'sure'"

Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors?

That's the one. I was kind of expecting/hoping for sychronicity that Suddenly Seymour would post the answer becasue I posted the lyrics and then suddenly realised that the very title of the song was actually used here as an id with Audrey II as the avatar. Heh.

It's been bugging me all morning because it was so familiar, but I think I finally have it. It's the Mother Superior (or possibly one of the other nuns) during 'Maria' from the Sound Of Music.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
That's the one.
"Flibbertigibbet" is one of the words my wife and I use quite often to describe our own 6-year-old daughter. (No, her name is not Maria.)
Back to you, Bevis!
Posted by Bevis on :
I was fairly sure, but not certain I was right. It was one of those lines that are incredibly familiar but take a while to place.
Hmmm, right... This is either going to be very easy or very hard.

No guesses yet? Time for a hint!
Dig out your scorecards: the performer who originated the quoted role won a Tony for it.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
What movie is it from????
Posted by Bevis on :
It sounds vaguely familiar but I'm stumped on this one.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Same song, additional lyrics:
"Oh, I hate leaving you, Hate leaving your Warm intimate club. It's a small pleasure, But I'll treasure Each warm, intimate snub!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
More hints:
The show in question was originally produced on Broadway in the 1960s; it has had at least one major NYC revival since then.
The original production ran less than a year. But the songwriters went on to work on one of Broadway's biggest successes.
The aforementioned Tony was in the category Best Featured Actor in a Musical (so it's a male character, but not the male lead, singing the song).
IIRC, that was the only Tony win for the original production of this show.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Big Hints:
The songwriters were Sheldon Harnick & Jerry Bock, best known for writing the songs to Fiddler On The Roof.
The Tony-award winning performer was Jack Cassidy.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Well, it appears that I have stumped the panel.
The show is She Loves Me, the song is "Grand Knowing You", the character's name is Kodaly. (I got to play this role six years ago; it was great fun, he's such a weasel )
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hopefully this will be more familiar:
"The wine that made us both rather merry And, oh so very Frank -" "Ah, how we laughed. Ah, how we drank." "You acquiesced -- " "And the rest is a blank."
Posted by Bevis on :
It's from A Little Night Music (great musical). I forget which two characters it is though since it's one of the ones where everyone is singing. IIRC it's called 'Remember?'.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Correct show and song title, and it's sung by the quintet, and I didn't expect anyone to remeber their names.

Here's another one from the same show.
Everyone tells you that the minute you get married, Every other woman in the world suddenly finds you attractive. Well, that's not true. It only affects the kind of women you always wanted to sleep with, But they wouldn't give you the time of day before, And now they're banging down your door And falling to their knees... At least that's what it feels like because you Can Not Touch Them. In fact, you can't even look at them-- Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes. Except you're sitting there, Eating your corned beef sandwich, And all of a sudden this pair of breasts walks by and smiles at you, And you're like, "That's not fair!"
And in a perfect world, A miracle would happen, And every other girl would fly away, And it'd be me and Cathy, And nothing else would matter-- But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, I mean, I'm happy And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine-- It's not a problem, It's just a challenge-- It's a challenge to resist temptation.

I think it's safe to say you've stumped us, KP.

Posted by legionadventureman on :
"To Be Or Not To Be" (1983) - starring Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft?
Posted by Bevis on :
oooh, I think lam is almost right in that it's a Mel Brooks musical, but I have a feeling that in fact it's the new vetsion of The Producers (the first quote coming from Bialistock's song when he's been arrested and does the entire musical in a matter of seconds (worth it just for the interval bit) and the second one coming from teh auditions for Hitler.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
The song is "BETRAYED!" from The Producers. It's Max Bialystock's big number in Act 2, in which he reprises the entire show up to that point (including "Step Four: Hire All The Actors", which is where the second quote comes in).
Over to Bevis.

Yay me! Although to be fair I probably wouldn't have gotten it if lam hadn't mentioned Mel Brooks.

Either Rocky Horror or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Either or indeed. Which one though? The first quote should kind of rule out one or the other though. Posted by Calybos on :
Oh, they're BOTH from the same thing?
Okay, then; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Posted by Bevis on :
They are indeed, and it is indeed Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (probably my favourite film ever). The first one is from 'Bye Bye Baby' and the second is from 'Ain't There Anyone Here For Love' (which admittedly is from the film version rather than the original stage version). If it had gone any longer I'd have posted a quote from 'Diamonds Are Girl's Best Friend' which would have given it away instantly I suspect.

"Grab your dick And double-click For porn, porn, porn"
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
That is "The Internet Is for Porn," from "Avenue Q." Trekkie Monster says those particular words.
Funny you should post this. Just last night, I found a link to a hysterical video created for this song using footage from one of the "Warcraft" games.
Posted by Bevis on :
He he, I am listening to it right now as well ("everyones' a little bit racist sometiiiimes, doesn't mean we go round commiting hate crimes").
It's not got over here to the UK yet but I got the cast recording for Christmas and I can see why it's so damn popular. 'The Internet Is For Porn' is incredibly funny, the idea of Gary Coleman being played by a woman is just fantastic and 'There's A Fine, Fine Line' is one of the best love songs in any musical that I've heard.
Of course, the point of all that rambling is that you're right and it's your go again.

Yay! Here's one:
I'm practically perfect, not slightly soiled Running like an engine that's just been freshly oiled I'm so practically perfect in every way.

Posted by Bevis on :
I've been trying to place it all weekend and couldn't place it at all. The nearest I could think of was Julie Andrews singing it and that made me think it might be Thoroughly Modern Millie but in fact I think Calybos is right and it's from the new stage version fo Mary Poppins.

Correct! It's from the new stage version. Thought I'd add a little twist there.

"Let me see ... Where was I? Oh, that's right: The pretty sky! Not bad, Not bad at all ... I wonder if it will snow tonight."

That kind of sounds like A Little Night Music but I think I might be thinking of a completely different song with vaguely similar lyrics.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Not A Little Night Music.
I started by giving you the end of the song, let's see if anyone recognizes the beginning:
"They like me, I think they're swell! Isn't it remarkable How things turn out so well!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Same song:
"Pleasant day, pretty sky! Life goes on, here I lie. Not bad, not bad at all. Cozy home, board and bed, Sturdy roof beneath my head. Not bad, not bad at all."
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
This one wasn't meant to be difficult. Perhaps it's not as familiar to our colleagues across the Atlantic, but it's a very frequently-produced show in the States (I've done it twice). Only requires 6 performers, simple set & costumes, relatively simple music (at least the original version; some changes were made for a recent revival).
And anyway, I thought "Sturdy roof beneath my head" was a dead giveaway ...
Posted by Bevis on :
OK, I Googled this one so I think I've got the right answer: Your A Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Not sure if it's ever been done in the UK though which might be why I've not heard it.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Yep; the song is "Snoopy", sung by Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog, who sleeps on top of his doghouse, hence the "Sturdy roof beneath my head" line).
Over to Bevis.
Posted by Bevis on :
Lets just havea one liner this time:
"Loveless copulation!"
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
That would be "Texas Has a Whorehouse in It" from "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." I saw it on tour with Ann-Margaret a couple years ago, and she was fab.
Man, I can't believe I let this thread slip between my fingers. And I would have gotten "Snoopy." That's one of my favorite shows, though I've never been in it. I wrote a profile of Anthony Rapp and an article about the revival for a couple magazines and interviewed Rapp and Kristin Chenoweth when they were doing out-of-town try-outs in Detroit. They're both delightful people.
OK, sorry for the tangent, but I just love that show!
Posted by Bevis on :
It is indeed Best Little Whorehouse. I really think it's time for a revival here in the UK. I don't know if it's ever been done here but the songs from it are brilliant. I did want to post the line from 'The Sidestep' about 'it behooves me to say' but I couldn't remember exactly how it went. I just like the word 'behooves'.

I should'a known that! I love Pippin!
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
The title is actually "No Time at All", but that's the song all right.
The joke, of course, is the role of Berthe (Pippin's grandmother and the singer of this song) was originated on Broadway by Irene Ryan, who, thanks to her role on The Beverly Hillbillies was called "Granny" by nearly everyone!

Wow! It's been almost a month! Probably time for a hint. This show is not officially a sequel to another, but it was the second musical written about these characters. This particular song involves a character waiting for someone who notoriously never shows up.
Posted by Calybos on :
I don't recall a musical version of Waiting for Godot, so.... yeah, I got nothing.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I thought of that after I wrote it. Not Godot.
This song is sung by a boy waiting for someone who is not human and is waiting for said non-human on a certain night of the year.

Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
This night is at the end of October. The boy has an older sister whose first name begins with the same letter as his. The musical is named after his best friend's dog, the earlier musical being named after the friend.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
I finally got around to looking this one up, although that last batch of hints makes it pretty obvious.
The show is SNOOPY: The Musical
The quoted verse is sung by Linus while waiting (in vain) for The Great Pumpkin.
I knew there were other stage musicals featuring the "Peanuts" characters after You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, but I've never seen any of them, or heard the cast albums.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Actually there are, to my knowledge, only two.
For the record, the song is called "The Vigil."
And off to you, BRM!

Correct! (well, mostly. It's a running gag, and the payoff is when Click Here For A SpoilerHorace Vandergelder does it.)
Over to Calybos.
Posted by Calybos on :
Here's a bit of a twist. One actor from "Hello Dolly!" has delivered both of these lines:
(from Dolly: ) "Some rotten cans of chicken mash are going to explode!"
(from a different musical:) "Too long you've wandered in winter, far from my fathering gaze."
Who's the actor, and what was the other musical?
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
I know this one!!
Michael Crawford played Cornelius in the movie version of "Dolly" and became internationally famous as the Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera," in which Christine first thought of him as her "Angel of Music."
Posted by Calybos on :
Correct! Your turn, Seymour--and you'd better keep away from "Little Shop of Horrors." That would be too easy.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Whoops, sorry -- got swept up in the holidays and my cousin's wedding.
OK, here's a new one, not from "Little Shop of Horrors." It's from one I just saw recently.
You know it seems quite clear to me Because I'm working class I am just the horse's ass He sells me down the river So what am I? Chopped liver?
Posted by Bevis on :
That's Patsy from Spamelot. Not seen it yet but it's on our list.
Posted by Bevis on :
OK, I know I'm right with that one so here's... well, it might not be too easy since this song was cut from teh stage version of this musical but let's see if anyone can get it anyway. As a clue this song was replaced with a fairly similar one, at least in terms of theme.
"And when I saw the awesome torture chamber in that flick. I found I got a hard on, while the other kids got sick."
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Indeed, you are right.
It sounds like this could have been cut for "Dentist" in "Little Shop," the way you describe it. I don't have a name, though, unless I want to peek on the Internet. So I'll guess that first and see where it takes me.
Posted by Bevis on :
Heh, yes, it is Little Shop. The song is called 'I Found A Hobby' and I suspect it was cut because it's just a little too crude for the rest of the show. You can get it on the Broadway cast recording that's just been released (featuring the girl who was Penny in the original Hairspray cast as Audrey) along with four or five other cut songs and the full score (including the very different ending from the film version) of the stage show. Well worth getting it actually if onyl for 'A Little Dental Music' which is a lovely song until you listen to the words. I suspected you'd get it Seymour, although I did wonder if you'd actually recognise it already.
You're up again. Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
In honor of a bit of news I heard the other day:
I watch you from the shadows You sigh before your window And gaze upon the town ...
Guess what it is, and I'll tell you the news (if you haven't heard it yet).
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Is the news Alan Rickman?
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Yup, that's the song, and that's the news. Alan Rickman will be Judge Turpin in the upcoming movie. Your turn, KP.

An odd lyric from a great show:
"Blame it on your Daddily and Mammily Cause depression runs in our family!"
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Well, it's been the better part of a week, so let me reveal the answer:
25'th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!
Yay, I win!
Here's another one. This one is from my very favorite (semi)current show.
The day we meet, The way you lean against the wind, And do not know that you are beautiful, Or that anyone is watching you, This is what I see.
And I notice how you hunger for surprise, And do not think that you are tall enough, Like you’re standing on a mountainside alone, This is what I see.
Now I see as I have never seen before. Since that moment in the square, When you’re hat is carried in the air, Just so you can chase it, Just so I can be there, This is how I know, This is what I see, This is love to me. Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Oh, "Spelling Bee" is so new, I'm not really familiar with it yet. I'm very pleased its tour is stopping here later this year, though.
For the new one, I'm going to try it without cheating and guess "Light in the Piazza." I wish the tour of that one were coming here.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Ding ding ding!
Seriously, Light in the Piazza is awesome, but it's a bit inaccessible from the soundtrack. But once you SEE it...
Wow.
You're up, SS!
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
I agree. I liked the song on the Tony Awards so got the CD. It was nice, but I didn't think much of it until I saw the full production on PBS. It's quite lovely.
Here's something from a buzzed-about show:
"And you can teach him plumbing and philosphy "New techniques for glazing pottery "Woodcraft, first aid, home economy "Madam, Adam will be overjoyed!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
That's the title song from The Apple Tree, which I hear is getting a New York revival in the near future.
The song is sung by the Serpent, and has "Forbidden Fruit" as an alternate title.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
You are correct.
And the revival is going on right now. It stars a luminous Kristen Chenowith. I got to interview her for an article I did about the revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," and she's such a nice person. And amazingly talented.
Let us have it, BAM!

"Whence this fragrance wafting through the air? What sweet feelings does its scent transmute? Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere? Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!"

Close enough (the title of the song is "The Lusty Month of May").

Correct. In the movie version of Animal Crackers, the quoted passage is sung by the chorus, twice.

That was a joke, right?
Anyway, over to Rockhopper Lad.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Actually, it's just been a long time since I saw Animal Crackers and I forgot that Groucho himself was Captain Spaulding. I think I had it a little mixed up in my head with Duck Soup. I guess senility is setting in.

My favorite song from "The Muppet Movie," "I'm Going to Go Back There Some Day" (almost universally misused as "Someday" -- but this isn't the thread for grammar lessons). It's also sung by my favorite Muppet, Gonzo.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Correct!
Over to Suddenly Seymour.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
I don't know why, but I was suddenly in the mood for this show this weekend. This is probably my favorite song from the show, but if I ever get a chance to perform it, I'll have to bring it up a couple steps. I saw a touring production in Tulsa with Greg Brady himself, Barry Williams, in it.
"There's not a morning that I open up my eyes and find I didn't dream of you. "Without a warning, though it's never a surprise, soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise ..."
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
That's vaguely familiar, or perhaps I'm just confusing it with something else...
This time, before I resort to search engines, I'll suggest a hint? or a few more lines?
-------------------- "Stop me before I Google again!!" Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
It's the torch song from a parody-ish show about a classic Hollywood genre.
Another line:
"At any time or place "I close my eyes and see your face "And I'm embracing you."
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Thanks for the hint; it got me looking in the right direction.
The song is "With Every Breath I Take" from City Of Angels, sung by Bobbi, later reprised by Bobbi and Stone.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Correct! I really like that show and have been humming its songs ever since I pulled it out that weekend.
You're up!
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Next:
"On a trifling point I wouldn't budge! I turned the jury's brains to fudge: They freed the crook and hanged the judge!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
A hint: this is from another movie-related show.
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Wow, even with Google, it took me a little while to find. "A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine"?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
That's the show.
Act 1, A Day In Hollywood, is a musical revue-tribute to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood; Act 2, A Night In The Ukraine, is a Marx Brothers homage. The quoted song, "Samovar The Lawyer", is the Groucho character's solo in which he introduces himself - not unlike "Hooray For Captain Spaulding".
Back to Suddenly Seymour.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond.
OK, not that it's any help to any of you, but this is a show my local community theater group is doing next season, and I'm thinking of trying out.
When darkness surrounds you and you lose your way, you have your own compass that turns night to day. And it's even with you before you depart. Be still, hear it beating. It's leading you ...

I had to Google this one I'm afraid, but in the spirit of keeping the thread alive it's from Urinetown. I've not really heard much about it other than it won the Tony though.
Let's have quite an easy one (that I may well have already used...)
"Then bang! Crash! And the lightning flash! And- well, that's another story, Never mind- Anyway..."
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
I checked Damn Yankees because "Heart" rhymes with depart, but I never got around to any more research on Suddenly Seymour's quote.

Yes, you have, but I'll give someone else a chance to read through this thread and find it, since I gave the correct answer the first time!
Posted by Bevis on :
I thought I probably had becuase it's one of my favourite song lyrics. I'll leave it open for someone else though...
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Into The Woods.
Keeping the easy lyrics going, here's one from the show I'm currently in rehearsals for...
"A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound..."
That should be enough for any afficionado. Posted by Kid Prime on :
And Urinetown rules, guys! I had the great fortune to see it on tour a couple years back. One of the most energized and talented touring casts I have ever seen. It blew me away.

That's "The Money Song" from the *movie* version of Cabaret -- has it been inserted into the stage version now?

"To think you swore our love was real!" "But baby, let us not forget that I'm a heel!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hint # 1: the quote is from a movie musical.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hint # 2: the quoted song was performed on The Muppet Show (the Muppets had nothing to do with the movie the song was written for, though).
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
No guesses? Let's try adding more lyrics:
"How about the time you went to Indiana?" "I was lyin', I was down in Alabam'." "You said you had some business you had to complete." "What I was doing, I would be a cad to repeat!"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hint # 3: the song has a very long title.
Posted by Calybos on :
Sorry, I'm completely stumped. And they've only released Season One of the Muppet Show on DVD, so I can't even go back and check!
Posted by Ram Boy on :
The first clue grabbed my attention because it sounded so familiar. And now it's been in the back of my head all day. The Muppet Show aired in the late seventies and possibly the early eighties. There's a pretty good chance the guest star that week was in the musical. I don't believe there were alot of movie musicals produced in that era. The only ones coming to mind are "Annie" (which I don't recall seeing all the way through) and something called "Movie Movie"(which I did but barely remember). Both of those were set in the 1930's. And the lyrics have that feel to them. And now I'm wondering if Mel Brook's "History of the World" had a musical number in it. I can totally see him singing a duet with Miss Piggy. I give up.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Elaborations on previous hints, by the numbers:
1. The movie the quoted song was written for was released in the early 1950s.
2. The performance of the song on The Muppet Show did not involve the guest star (who was not in the movie the song was written for -- but, coincidentally, was in the movie version of Annie). Both parts of the duet were sung by Muppets.
3. I believe that this song was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the longest song title ever, but I have been unable to confirm this (recent editions of the GBWR available in my local library do not include that category)(OK, not such a good hint if it's unverifiable ).
(Side Note: the musical number in History Of The World, Part 1 was "The Spanish Inquisition", with Mel (as Torquemada) singing the lead)
Posted by Calybos on :
Based on #3, I have a guess:
"How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You (When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life)?"
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Aand we have a winner!
(Written for the 1951 film Royal Wedding, in which it was performed by Fred Astaire and Jane Powell; performed on The Muppet Show by Kermit the Frog and "Miss Mousey" as the opening number of the Bernadette Peters episode, launching Miss Piggy into an episode-long jealous snit)

Okay, here's an easy one:
"Have you heard? It's in the stars, Next July we collide with Mars."

Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Here's a hint: It's from a movie.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I was afraid this was going to be a bit obscure. It's from the very first song in this movie, which is a sequel.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
To repeat it on this page, the quote is: Mama, please! Your child's come down with a fatal disease! Mama said, "Come on, you lazy bum, and get your butt out of bed!"
This movie, though now having a cult following, was a box office disappointment, especially compared with its extremely successful predecessor.
The female lead later appeared in one of the Batman movies.
Posted by Bevis on :
That'll be Grease 2 then. I've only ever seen about half of it, although Chris loves it.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
That's correct. It's from a song called "Back to School" which opens the movie.
I'm very fond of Grease 2 myself. It's pretty cheese-tastic. And Maxwell Caulfield is dreamy!

Righty-ho, this should be quite an easy one:
"The sweeter the wine, the harder to make the break"
Posted by Bevis on :
I'm surprised no-one has got this one yet. As a clue it's a song from the stage show that was filmed but eventually cut from the movie version of said musical.
Posted by Bevis on :
Still nothing? More from the same song then:
"So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow After the night there's brand new day And there'll be no pain and no more sorrow So wash your face and phone my place, it'll be okay."
Posted by Calybos on :
Not a clue, sorry.
Posted by Bevis on :
I'm quite surprised no-one has got this one yet actually. Here's a line from a different song but from the same character that should be easier:
"When we met in his science exam-it Made me give you the eye and then panic"
Posted by Calybos on :
Well, that's obviously "Dammit, Janet" from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Posted by Bevis on :
Yup. The first two are from 'Once In A While', which is Brad's song after he's boinked Frank and then finds out that Janet has boinked Frank and Rocky. It was filmed but then cut from the film because of running time but is still part of the stage version.
You're up Caly.
Posted by Calybos on :
Okay. This is an ensemble number:
"I'm surprised A bright and charming girl like you Hangs out with these slackers (Who don't adhere to deals)...
