So what do I do if finally for the first time
the one I'm burning for returns the glow?
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
still I know- I've got to go
I'm a Thespian, wanna watch?

All of my life,
I've been dreaming the wrong dream
Scheming the wrong scheme
Backing the wrong team,
All of my life...

Posted: 10/23/06 at 1:01amFrank, was your previous post the lyric from "Opening Doors"

And now the latter one?

crap, I guess we're going real obscure here. that lyric is from "HOW NOW, DOW JONES" but I can't recall the song, and it's not worth having to listen to that album in order to figure it out. Is it "They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore"? That's my best guess.
and since we're going with the high-difficulty tunes, here's one:
"I sent 'em Travellers Checks!
But they were never enough!
Five of 'em sick, twelve in school,
Those youngsters had it rough!
I couldn't rest
Till they had the best
In stereos and jeans,
Y'know, good American stuff!"
this is a pretty hard one since the album is not available on CD. here's another verse from the same song:
"When I was in China
I was like a lonely Marine.
Talked to lots of pretty little local girls,
Whores in between.
Though I up and left
As soon as I could,
Those women were bearin'
The fruit of my carin'
Too much for my own good!"
HINT: it was sung by a Tony-winner from the past 5 years.

since I got the last 2, I'll toss in another lyric to figure out. this one is a bit easier than the previous:
"ONE DAY THE PRESS, THEY TELL YOU, YOU'RE THE MAN.
THEN ONE WEEK ON, THEY'LL SAY YOU STINK.
THAT'S HOW IT GOES;
EV'RY NEWSMAN KNOWS
A LITTLE BLOOD MAKES FOR SOME INTERESTING INK.
THE CIRCUS BARKERS ON THE NETWORK NEWS
ASK HOW A MAN CAN SINK SO LOW.
WELL, LET 'EM STARE
AT THE SIDESHOW THERE.
WHO WOULDN'T WANNA SEE THE FREAK WHO RUNS THE SHOW"
If you know the main song, you can probably figure it out based on the rhyme structure.

nope, but that's a good guess. a few more hints:
the 1st one is from a major flop that played a few months on Broadway in the last 25 years. The 2nd is a high-profile import that has yet to make it to Broadway but has enjoyed several successful runs elsewhere in the US.

good guesses both, but no. the 2nd is on the right track. maybe high-profile is the wrong term. not a show with the same support as GUERRE but had a great run in a major regional house with top-level talent.
I'll edit to add another verse to the 1st song, since it is pretty elusive.

Posted: 10/23/06 at 2:24amso close! this is my last hint before leaving it over-night: "Whistle" enjoyed its US premiere within 100 miles of this show's US premiere.

Dicky, darling little dicky
I'm so proud of my little plump, little shy, little cuddely chap
Dicky!
Dicky!
Always lying flat on you fat tummy
Here, on your dear mummy's lap
Stop Barking!
Even, when I have to scold you
Mommy's just as thrilled as can be how magnificently you obey!
Feel free to ask for clues if need be, but its not that obscure, I know two or three people on this board who should definitly know this one. [If not more]

"Pearls" from DEAR WORLD by Jerry Herman?
If I'm right, here's another one:
"A: Who am I kiddin, I'm no youngster!
B: You're only mature like an old cheese!
A: It takes me hours just to pee!
B: Ya pee'd enough already!
BOTH: This is exactly the kind of a job
For some old fart like me!"
not sure why this show came to mind, I think I'm just in the mood for this cast album at the moment. and I do have to pee. funny how life so often imitates art and vice versa.

I have actually no idea. I haven't even a guess.
Must be though a show with old people in it, so it could be from "70, Girls, 70". But that would be a mere guess.

Seignor Uriti,
Here is your knife back
And with my luck
you'll go and give me
my wife back....

Arediderchi, virtue,
I don't want to hurt you...

Posted: 10/26/06 at 1:31amI guess the game has died down since the weekend, but in case anyone's still playing I thought I'd bump this. Somebody got DOONESBURY right but still no correct answers for the other 2 songs I posted. Final hint: both are by American writers and have had major US runs, but both had their world premieres overseas

Posted: 10/26/06 at 11:17amBroadway Matt, is the first set from The Fix? I know I know those lyrics -- I can even sing them -- but I can't think of where they are from!

yep, it's from THE FIX- one of several fine Dempsey/Rowe musicals that have been denied the US exposure they deserve. the show was much better received in its US premiere (Signature Theatre, VA) than it was originally at the Donmar Warehouse. Of course it is all about American politics, so that makes sense.
so I guess it's your move Enjolras.
