Hey guys!! I'm new to the board but like all of you, I am a HUGE broadway fan and an actress myself! Now, I've been looking online 4ever and haven't had a lot of luck with this "task" I've had. Basically, I need to find a quote for my yearbook to put under my name. And of course I want it to be from a broadway show, and I want it to be REALLY good!!! So I've found a few already but its rly hard to look through all the lyrics from all of the shows I know so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Now I know you did a posting on cheesiest lines but I was wondering if you guys could think up some of the BEST lines from Broadway musicals that would be appropriate for a yearbook. Here are a list of my favorite shows: Hairspray, Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors, Producers, West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Avenue Q, Grease, Godspell, Chicago etc.... If you guys can think of any good ones from these or others it would be SOOOO Helpful!!! Thanks!! -Sarah

"So what happens now? Where am I going to?" Evita

I totally think you should use the **** quote! JK! Maybe "everything in life is only for now" ave q. I love that quote.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

and as for BSoBW2- get over yourself...if you are not confident in yourself, don't blame other people. I know I am special but I didn't think I was that special enough to be brought up in so many of your posts.

I sure did. I go by "If you don't get it the first time- try again" and since you didn't seem to get it the first time, I tried again! Hopefully it will work this time.
