Here are some favorites about audience members from my two trips:
this one was for a pre-teen girl: "Ms. (insert name here) recently got lost in her own backyard."
and 2 other faves for the same guy: "Bill Williams is sporting a sweater from the Bill Cosby collection."
"In his spare time Bill Williams likes to go golfing with his friends Jeff Jefferson and Dave Davids."
"Did you know that if you take the first two vowels in Olive and rearrange them it spells I-Love?"-Spelling Bee
"It's night like this that hotel bars were specifically made." Light In The Piazza
Lizzie, I understand completely. Also hence my lack of posting in this thread. I know. Plus, I know all these quotes verbatim, and seeing them misquoted is killing me.
Same here! Can someone give me a red pen?
"This thread reads like a series of White House memos." — Mister Matt
I've never heard it with "Aisian guy." I've seen the show three times and I'm pretty sure that every time, someone got the "When you think white guy, think me!" line.
"Billy, put down that phylactery, we're Episcopalian" (I'm sure I misspelled at least one of those words)
Although this isn't a funny favorite, I love "Life has such possibility."
( I don't know if it was in the show since I've yet to see it, but it was at the Tony Awards )
-Your word is denguie (I don't know if that's the way you spell it) -Denguie. Can you give me a deffinition? -(horribly paraphrased) A medical condition in the stomach where pain a dihareah can occur. -Can you use it in a sentace, please? -When Billy was asked to describe the symptoms of his denguie he said, "It was like a race out of my butt and everybody won."
or...
-Your word is lugubrious. -Yes, lugubrious. Something I'm all too familiar with. -Watch as he spells it out with a technique that I've never witnessed before...the "Magic Foot". -Lugubrious...L-U-G-U-B-R-I-O-U-S....(shouts)LUGUBRIOUS! -That is correct! -I know...
I love when Marcy Park says "Jesus?...I knew you were Asian!" I saw the SF one and it's so funny the way Aaron Albano (Chip) just has that funny smile for acknowledgement.
It has to be one of my favorite lines.

Olive- Yea but if you switch the next to vowels it becomes Will Aim Barfee- (After she walks away) I love? That is so.....retarded!

Marcy- Jesus? I knew you were Asian!

Peretti- All participants here won their school spelling bees! Leaf- I didn't...
Peretti- Ms. Park is from Virginia Leaf- Virginia? What a lovely country!
Logainne- This is almost as overwhelming as having two fathers on Fathers' day!
I saw the tour in LA w/the original cast (u/s for Olive). One audience member was named Mr. DiCiaccio (not sure of the spelling, but pronounced "Dee-cha-chee-o") and had high, swept back hair. His first intro was "Mr. DiCiaccio left home tonight expecting to see a performance of Jersey Boys." The next time it was "Ms. DiJoanio loves Mr. DiCiaccio."
Another audience member was a young girl wearing Uggs and got the announcement that "Miss X was forced to drop out of last year's spelling bee when her feet froze."
When I went they had a few good ones for the guest spellers. To a guy that was kind of slouching and dressed down: "When Mr. So-and-So grows up, he wants to get a job." To a guy wearing all green and brown clothing: "In Spelling circles, Mr. Whatever is known as the Earth Toned Assassin!"
Oh, and at Adult Night: Tooooooom Cruuuuuuuuuise.
You must think I'm still sixteen.
I dropped out of high school for a reason.
And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right.
My soul is not a stage.
I won't pretend I'm anything I'm not
Kids night 2007, the guest speller was Julie Andrews. Ms. Peretti: "Many girls hoping to audition for the middle school musical went home crying when they found out Julie Andrews was transferring to their school." Panch: "Your word is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Julie Andrews: "May I have the definition?" Panch: "Extremely happy; euphoric." (something like that) Julie Andrews: "Can I have that in a sentence?" Panch: "Bipolar Mary said she often went from feeling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to...eh." Julie Andrews: "Ah, yes. Would you like that forwards or backwards?" Panch: "I was afraid of that."
So funny! That exchange is forever stamped in my memory.
Also, the first time I saw the Bee, the definition for Mexicans was "Many a Mexican."
Sigh. I miss Bee.

from the show last week in toronto - my favourite line was about a guest speller wearing jeans and a blue/aqua coloured shirt - "her school colours are denim and smurf"
