Posted: 11/30/04 at 6:28pmi've always loved "forget regret, or life is yours to miss," and there's always the good old stand-by, "No Day But Today!" sorry, i'm not feeling very creative right now =)

"No day like today."
"Defy gravity."
"This too shall pass."
"The slotted spoon can't hold much soup."
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

not from Rent buuuuuuuuuuuut:
maybe something from Chorus Lime, like
"kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow" or "won't regret, can't forget what i did for love"
"Picture "The View," with the wisecracking, sympathetic sweethearts of that ABC television show replaced by a panel of embittered, suffering or enraged Arab women" -the Times review of Black Eyed

i used a couple lines from MAKING GOOD, the cut wicked song, for mine. I have never heard the song though lol just liked the lyrics i read.
*Today I start my quest, to find my special destiny.
Be more than just the best I could,
Ill Be Making Good!*

I used a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson in mine, but I had considered using "Move On" from SITPWG or Wicked's "For Good" -
"it well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime so let me say before we part, because i knew you i have been changed for the better"

I agree with Broadwaytheatre11...use something that is special for you pertaining to high school-inside jokes, quotes of friends or funny things people have said. Stuff you all ahd fun doing. Examples some of my favorite high school quotes:
"Someone has a line here and it's not ME!"-said by everyone involved
@ one point or another-basically sums up mentality of fall play
"People who make lofty moral judgements without sufficient supporting detail are pretentious asses"-said to a teacher by a friend while whole class goes wild cheering
MANY MANY MORE I mean they might not be that funny or insightful to other people out of context but I read them and they make me laugh really hard and remeber moments..if ou think a quote from a show can do that for you then go ahead
"I guess she is one very confident girl who feels if you see it, it shall be.
I hope she sees a room with a piano player and a bunch of scary middle-aged queens sitting behind a table, talking to each other as she auditions!!"

Posted: 11/30/04 at 9:44pmNothing from (not a Chorus Line) Rent or Wicked. Do something original.

Something that means something to you.
Whether it's Rent or Wicked or something completely new/random.
I think it's the kind of thing that only you can figure out for yourself.

Hmmmm........From Into the woods :)
Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.
Every knot was once straight rope.
Oh if life were made of moments, even now and then a bad one, but if life were made of moments then you'd never know you'd had one.
Just some thoughts :)

It's kind of long but my favorite line from Rent has always been
"I can't control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be."
actually after writing that it sounds much more choppy on paper then when it's sung.
