As noted a few entries back, I was copying
ngmaster and doing a theme with my LJ entry titles this month. Since June is the month when the Tony Awards are held, I titled all my posts during June with snippets from theatre songs. That explains why some of my subjects sounded so random at times. XD It’s now the last day of the month and, as promised, here is the list of quotes and the songs and musicals they came from. I tried not to do more than one quote from each musical but there were times when my brain wasn’t feeling that creative so there are a few repeats. ^_^;

“Listen to the rain on the roof go pit pitty pat” – “Rain on the Roof” from “Follies”
“Masquerade, paper faces on parade…” – “Masquerade” from “The Phantom of the Opera”
“Bless this day, pinnacle of life, husband joined to wife” – “Getting Married Today” from “Company”
“I need a brand new dress, a really grand new dress” – “A Brand New Dress” from “Coco”
“Rain is fine but when it’s done, sun is better” – “Better” from “A Class Act”

“4 weeks, you rehearse and rehearse. 3 weeks and it couldn’t be worse. 1 week, will it ever be right?” – “Another Openin’, Another Show” from “Kiss Me, Kate”
“I must think calm, comforting things, butterfly wings, emerald rings” – “I’m Calm” from “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”
“Happy Birthday, it’s your present.” – “A Weekend in the Country” from “A Little Night Music”
“Another suitcase in another hall, take your picture off another wall” – “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” from “Evita”

“And rain will make the flowers grow” – “A Little Fall of Rain” from “Les Miserables”
“Still playing games, acting crazy” – “Don’t Look at Me” from “Follies”
