Does anyone else think that Anne would be perfect if they made "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" THE MUSICAL?!

[thoughtsmeander]

AWW BRUMMEL <3<3

[xMsLissx]

Does someone has the lyrics of this? I love it, but I can't hear all the lyrics and the references... xD

[Elphahaba]

I was going to ask the same :P

It makes me laugh most of the time, but I don't understand everything.

Anne Brummel is amazing anyway :)

[Yokiperzik2]

From the day I was born, I just knew I belong on the stage To New York I Did move, Study hard, I did too Now Im making a steady wage But you wont see my name on marques Cause talented me is the Understudy Oh, Why must I be the Understudy Waiting for stage management to call Hello Broadway?! Im sort of in the chorus, cause come on Im drop dead gorgeous And some day youll see my face on *** wall When I stood by a Sideshow Sitting in the eight row was director Joe Mantello

[Yokiperzik2]

He said: Your talent girl its unique, so now Im a green freak Defying Gravity, but only once a week Oh, Why must I be the Understudy Its time for me to ring my own damn bell My vocal chops are crazy, I can *** like *** Or belt a note like Idina Menzel *** She kicks me in the knees And says: Girl you wont ever be me, me My voice never cracks, My acting is stronger I got a big rack unlike Lea Salonga *** *** unlike Liza Minelli

[Yokiperzik2]

One day the Schuberts will see their mistake and give me my well deserved *** Why must I be the Understudy *** So I am not Bernadette Peters *** what? I watch while I eat, wont have a Chianti When I take a seat *** *** Shes from Jersey *** Its me ** you know, wait Not Julia Murney Im so much better than miss *** Much more *** than old Patti *** Oh, Why must I be the Understudy One day they all realise theyre wrong I hope that I could fill those pictures

[Yokiperzik2]

Im the next Julie Andrews

Im a star, and some day someone else will be singing this song

Ohoohoooo

[xxbroadwayfreakxx]

i know some of the lyrics you left out were:

...My vocal chops are crazy, I can MIX like MARIN MAZZIE...

...at the second place to Sutton (meaning sutton foster haha) i was cuter than a button, but all doors they seem to be a shuttin'...

...a true triple threat...

...my jazz hands won't sweat...

...my well deserved BREAK...

...for eden (espinosa) steph (i think SJB) and sara ramirez...

...laura Benanti, its beNANti, she's from jersey...

and thats all i know :-)

[Smile24206]

@Yokiperzik2

My voice here never teeters, so I am not Bernadette Peters

even asked to standby for Rosie Perez

Telsey and Co. may I speak to Bernie

It's me, yeah ya know, wait not Julia Murney

[ErinMackeyROCKS]

I can help you out a bit. I know people already did a bit, but I can help more.

Someday you'll see my face on Sardi's Wall

I can mix like Marin Mazzie

At second place to Sutton I was cuter than a button, but all doors they seem to be a-shuttin

and then...it's "A true triple threat, just ask Chris Gatelli. My jazz hands won't sweat, unlike Liza Minelli."

[begreenandMOO]

Sardis wall
