[Graysax]

Ok - here are the rules ...... Come up with the Name of the Musical that the quote is from and you get to post the next quote for somebody else to figure out.... You have to post the answer to the previous post in order to reply with another quote.

I'll Start.......

"It would be Grand, Grand, Grand if you would come"

Ok - now somebody name the musical and also post a new quote from a different mystery musical.

Good luck

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

"her only good parts are between her thighs"

[woodynoob]

LOL Gary! How appropriate.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (I LOVE Sondheim)

I didn't get Paint Your Wagon. I've never seen or heard it, but it's on my netflix list now. :)

"Let me out, let me out. Let me just see her."

Edit: Carl is beating both of us, Gary.

[woodynoob]

Evita.

"Let me out, let me out. Let me just see her."


Edit: Have any of you played Evita on the sax? I'm still fairly new to the instrument (I started less than 6 months ago), and am considering it as a musical to teach myself. I want to learn a musical or two (the vocal parts, not the pit parts yet).

[gary]

LOL Gary! How appropriate. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (I LOVE Sondheim)


Yeah, one of my favourite lines which I use all the time, and unfortunately was pretty appropriate in my last marriage, as well as when I was in the service - "I live to grovel".

[Merlin]

Evita.

"Let me out, let me out. Let me just see her."

Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Reflect Up

I've never seen it, but you picked the one song from it that I happen to know.

Now for one of my favourites:
"If my husband finds out he'll throw me out on the street, and I'll have to sell pencils, or...apples, or . . . other things."

Hello Again.

Don't ask me how I know. Here's an easy one.

"Bela, Bela, Bela."

[gary]

Here's an easy one.
"Bela, Bela, Bela."

Encore request yelled at a Juilliard Quartet concert?
Chant before a concert at the "Quick"?
What Lugosi's girl friend screamed in a moment of passion?
You got me. I give up on that one.

Here's a clue. The line is said more than once during a really long pause in the music-not even underscoring- of about 10-15 minutes (depending on laughter and applause).

Merlin would know this one.

Rocky Horror Picture Show?

If I'm right, I'll give another quote.

[hakukani]

Rocky Horror Picture Show?

If I'm right, I'll give another quote.

Nope.

Clue: The line is said by the character directed at himself.

[Graysax]

Crazy For You - am I right - if so I'll post another....

[hakukani]

Crazy For You - am I right - if so I'll post another....

Of course you're right. The character of Bela Zangler, the promoter, is drunk, and Billy (the young character), who is disguised as Bela unbeknownst to the real Bela, is also drunk, and joins him at the table, where a hilarious 'mirror' bit occurs (a la Marx Brothers).

[Graysax]

I thought so.... and one of the BEST reed books - on reed 2 - that I ever played

Ok here's the next one ......

And once, when I insulted Frank I played with broken fingers

I believe that's from The Full Monty. At first I thought Chicago, but I don't think there's a Frank in that one.

Is That a REAL bible?

Guys and Dolls?

[Graysax]

Nope - hint - its a girl and she's wearing an eye patch

[hakukani]

Threepenny Opera?

[Graysax]

Oh Geez - wrong again

She's wearing an eye patch - being asked to swear to something - with her hand on the bible - while the Whole Wide World is watching on TV. (yes WWW is another hint)

[hakukani]

Maybe I don't know this one, or I've blocked it out.....8-)

[Graysax]

I'll PM you the answer - but publicly we'll let somebody else have a shot at it

[woodynoob]

Lol. I don't know the answer, but the context makes it sound like something right out of O'Connor's "Good Country People"

[Merlin]

I'm thinking Avenue Q for the bible quote...

[Graysax]

Gees - I'm shocked more of you don't know this one - The Character that says it is named Hedy. She is dressed as a "Treasure Girl"

[Carl H.]

Not a clue.

[DixieSax]

Oh come on.. It's not that tough....

[woodynoob]

I don't know the last one, but I thought I'd resurrect this thread...apparently nobody else knew the last one either.

To get things started back up (two quotes to help out, both from the first half):

"I was raised by wood nymphs."

"It says I'm a warrior, but I make my own clothes."

[DixieSax]

That "Last One" that nobody knew, by the way, was from Edgar in "Ragtime"

[Carl H.]

Never done that one.
