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!!

"If you know what you want, then you go and find and you get it." Into the Woods
"I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them...and we help them in return. Well I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you" Wicked
"So what happens now? Where am I going to?" Evita
"And I can't wait to eat her **** again!" Avenue Q
just kidding about that last one :)

That WICKED quote is a bit long for a yearbook quote, don't you think?
"Past the point of no return; no backward glances. The games we've played 'til now are at an end." -THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Kind of a dim reflection on high school, but isn't it always?

Posted: 2/20/05 at 8:37pmI 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

Posted: 2/20/05 at 10:29pmI 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.

Out of wine comes truth, Out of truth the vision clears,
And with vision soon appears a grand design.
From the grand design, you can understand the world.
And when you understand the world, you need a lot more wine.
