I’ve decided that it is time for a countdown consisting of the most awful, most uncomfortable and strangest performances of musical theatre pieces that have ever occurred.

Just noticed that Marvin Hamlisch / Ed Kleban uses this technique where everybody says a certain phrase twice right in a row…in almost every single song.
“God, I hope I get it. I hope I get.”
“How many people does he need? How many people does he need?”
“How many boys how many girls? How many boys how many -“
“Look at all the people. At all the people”
“I really need this job, dear God I need this job”
“God, I really blew it, I really blew it”
“Now I’ll never make it. I’ll never make it”
“God, I think I’ve got it. I think I’ve got it”
“I can do that, I can do that”
“That’s what he said, that’s what he said.”
“Thought she was twenty-two, though she was twenty-two”
“It wasn’t paradise, it wasn’t paradise”
“When I grew up, when I grew up”
“Though I was eight or nine, though I was eight or nine”
“At the ballet, at the ballet”
“4’ 10”, 4’ 10”“
“Feel the motion, feel the motion”
“Hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush”
“And I tried, I tried”
“The kids called me nothing, they called me nothing.”
Cory Monteith once said of Glee, “It’s as if High School Musical was punched in the stomach and had its lunch money stolen.” If that’s the case, then Smashed punched Glee in the stomach but then looked at Glee and said, “Except we already have real talent and original music so we don’t need to steal your auto tune, bad writing, or Top 40 score.
