The sad part is that I know I know more of these, but I suck horribly at identifying uncontextualized lyrics. So I offer just these guesses:

10. Something from 'Evita.' Um...it's the scene where she's dancing with Antonio Banderas in the movie isn't it?
21. "People Will Say We're In Love" from Oklahoma
23. "Old Man River" from Showboat (my favorite line from that one, actually)

Ack, I know 25, too...uhh..shucks.

2. Errrmmmm. A Person Could Develop A Cold, Guys and Dolls?

10 is from Evita, near the end of the movie. She's dying and... ugh! I can't remember the name of the song, but it's definitely from Evita.

15 "I Get a Kick Out of You." I had no idea that was originally a show tune

16 "Maria" from Sound of Music

18 "This Man of Mine" from Chicago"

22 "Worst I Could Do" from Grease
