forbidden broadway never stops makin me laugh. just wondered if it did the same for you!? some of my favorite skits make fun of titanic, les mis, and cats.. but also.. WICKED!

LYRICS: (during defying gravity) so hoist me up in a harness and point me to the sky
in all the big shows lately, all the leading ladies have to fly!
One of the "oldies" that had me laughing really hard (back in the day) was "Screamgirls" with their Jennifer Holliday being pulled back off the set on a freight dolly at the end.
"Jaws is the Citizen Kane of movies."

I love the whole Patti Lupone in MASTER CLASS with Glenn Close, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Madonna, personally. "Into the Words" also has a special place in my heart.
I always loved the Merman/Martin parody but my all time favorite was Carol Channing ('Some people sing, some people dance, some people act, I do HELLO, DOLLY!')
'Our whole family shouts. It comes from us livin' so close to the railroad tracks'
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
To Kill A Mockingbird
"once a piece of art, now a piece of crap. all new york needs, another tourist trap."
"they can't wait to get back home and to read the libretto in bed, to figure out whatever went on and what we said. better read your synopsis at the end of the play!"
is there any main place that has the lyrics of all these forbiden bway stuff??? it's sooo funny!
"How am I gonna get a ticket to de Lion King?! African balongna but we won a lot of Tonys! High-falootin' puppet show...(something undistinguishable) Pinnochio!"
Into the Words is one of my favorites of course, and so is ChitaRita. But my absolute favorites are the Mandy Pantinkin sketches. Those are uproariously funny. Mandy and Berndette in Kiss Me Kate is brilliant:
"We'll haunt you, and hurt you... Your date will desert you!"
I've never seen it but I've heard the Rent songs & one Wicked song. I love the song Wicked.Whoever was protraying Idina & Kristin did a great job, vocally. I never thought the Rent songs were THAT funny. But they get a chuckle out of me.
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity." -Gilda Radner
My favorite- Cover up your mucus of the night. Or Chita/Rita. Or the Harvey Hairspray number or the Doubt number. Or the Piazza number. Or the YOKO ONO NUMBER. I live for Gerard Alessandrini but I actually wrote a very funny number that might make Gerard laugh. Someday he will see it.
I wish. I dream in FB.
Jennifer Simard played CHENOWETH- Don't DEFY JENOWETH. Updated On: 6/18/06 at 10:59 PM
I love you honey, I love you. Ego darling, you need to see the newest versions. But, with the one and only SIMARD. I would give anything if she was in FB. LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T YOU DARE DEFY JENOWETH....... NO NO NO NO!!! Hell, NO. OMG!
Thanks alterego! I could never figure that out...Maybe I've got bad ears. Oh! And I love in the Aida parody when the women sings, "It's cheesy! It's cheesy" with freaky hard-core articulation like the wonderfully talented Heather Headley. Oh! And in Ragtime when Father asks "Why is that black man playing our piano?" "He's got an audition for Smokey Joe's Cafe." :-P It's not all that great but I found it pretty amusing.
