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'"

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.

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!

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.

"Does anybody still wear a hat?"

No guesses yet? Time for a hint!

Dig out your scorecards: the performer who originated the quoted role won a Tony for it.

It sounds vaguely familiar but I'm stumped on this one.

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!"

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.
