Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat.

2. Jean Valjean – “Ditto.”

Don’t want to spend another 19 years locked up, do you?

3. Hamlet – “Be more decisive.”

To be or not to be- that is one of many, many questions.

4. Monty Navarro – “Stop killing relatives.”

Why are all the D’Ysquiths dying?

5. Yente – “Gossip less.”

Right? Of course right!

6. Johnny – “Make better decisions.”

American idiot no longer.

7. Matilda – “Stand up for myself.”

Nobody but her is gonna change her story!

8. Jenna – “What Matilda said.”

Less Earl, more pie.

9. Salieri – “Control my jealousy.”

MOZART! I’m very happy for you.

10. Tracy Turnblad – “Dance more.”

She can’t stop the beat!

11. Bobby – “Make some new friends.”

Preferably single ones.

12. Sally Bowles – “Just, get it together in general.”

Don’t tell momma… or anyone else.

13. Rum Tum Tugger – “Be less self-absorbed.”

The Rum Tum Tugger is a… considerate cat?
