Here's a fun game for anyone who is interested. The original poster posts a lyric from a musical (the more obscure, the better) and the the first person to guess which show it is from correctly gets to post the next lyric. I'll start:
"Why am I high on her cheap perfume?"
My biggest pet peeve right now is when people pronounce it "Marry-us" and not "Mah-ree-us".

Would no one defend him, protect him, befriend him, would none hear his cry?
The opening song from Bat Boy, right?
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Okay, I sense defeat in the air. (Mwuh-ha-ha!)
HADES INC, 1927, by William Miller and Alexander Matthews: a strange little work that was indeed professionally performed. The first act is all standard light opera. The second act is all 20s jazz.
Select, your call.

Hmmmmm...ok, how about this:
"Lullaby in the garden, where dream flowers grow. Lullaby, my child of a world we'll never know."
