Um, hint time? (I thought this would be an easy one...)
Ironically, this show won the Tony Award for Best Lighting Design.

I knew it, but I haven't had a quote I wanted to post. But now I do, so it's Love to Me from Light in the Piazza.
Next:
"My cage has many rooms
Damask and dark
Nothing there sings
Not even my lark."

Definitely one of my best-loved Sondheim songs, that's "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from Sweeney Todd.
"Why are they complaining?
It could have been raining!
I hate these people!"

"It's Hot Up Here" from Sunday in the Park with George
Side note: I'm super excited because the show extended on Broadway, so I can see it when I go this summer! I love the fact that another Sondheim is revived just about every year!
"It's like I'm your lover,
or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do,
where you go."

I would have posted a hint last week... but I've been in Kaua'i without the internet for the past week. Anyways:
The scene where this song takes place involves a very dirty use of "Othello."

And... no one got it. It was "My Junk" from Spring Awakening. So here's a new one:
"I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!"

That's "Hair" from Hair.
Next up:
"I like my hair
Really it is pleasant to the touch.
I toss my hair
A bit too much
It doesn't move
It simply sits."

"I'm Not That Smart" from Putnam County Spelling Bee.
"He's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought
His head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect"

"Macavity: The Mystery Cat" from Cats
"When hedges hide the world away,
and shadows blur the time of day.
Where cans of cat food are paté..."

Hint: One other song in this show deals with peas, and another about corn.

'Tis "Entering Grey Gardens" from Grey Gardens, naturally.
Next up:
"Blessed be the child
Blessed be the tourist
Blessed is its own reward."
