Sounds like something from Avenue Q.

Nope, try again!

It's been a month, so I looked it up.

It's "The Calling", from the 2005 off-Broadway show Altar Boyz.

Next:

"Lots of things in life are beautiful, but, brother,
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any way, shape or form like any other!"

One of the Seabees in "There Is Nothing Like a Dame," South Pacific.

That was quick!

Yep, over to Calybos!

"He looks like he's asleep;
It's a shame that he won't keep,
But it's summer, and we're running out of ice."

"The daisies in the dell
Will give out a different smell
Because pore Jud is underneath the ground!"

"Pore Jud Is Daid", from Oklahoma!
The quoted verse is sung by Curly.

Next:

"Ah, well, there you have me, John. I'm afraid you are pig-headed."

That's Abigail Adams in a dream/fantasy conversation with her husband John, in 1776.

Correct!

Here's mine:

"I smile and I grin, when the gal with the touch of sin walks in;
I hope and I pray, for Hester to win just one more 'A'..."

"The Sadder-But-Wiser Girl" from The Music Man.
Sung by "Professor" Harold Hill.

Next:

"What in all of Heaven could have prompted her to go?
After such a triumph at the ball?"

That's from My Fair Lady in "A Hymn to Him". It's "sung" by Henry Higgins (well, after a fashion ).

Yes, I felt it was appropriate to quote a real Professor after hearing from that humbug Hill.

Over to Rockhopper Lad.

I'll give him till eleven.
All right, eleven-nine,
But eleven-nine is really where I draw the line!

Wow! It's been almost a month! Probably time for a hint. This show is not officially a sequel to another, but it was the second musical written about these characters. This particular song involves a character waiting for someone who notoriously never shows up.

I don't recall a musical version of Waiting for Godot, so.... yeah, I got nothing.

I thought of that after I wrote it. Not Godot.

This song is sung by a boy waiting for someone who is not human and is waiting for said non-human on a certain night of the year.

This night is at the end of October. The boy has an older sister whose first name begins with the same letter as his. The musical is named after his best friend's dog, the earlier musical being named after the friend.

I finally got around to looking this one up, although that last batch of hints makes it pretty obvious.

The show is SNOOPY: The Musical

The quoted verse is sung by Linus while waiting (in vain) for The Great Pumpkin.

I knew there were other stage musicals featuring the "Peanuts" characters after You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, but I've never seen any of them, or heard the cast albums.

Actually there are, to my knowledge, only two.

For the record, the song is called "The Vigil."

And off to you, BRM!

Next:

"You go your way{points}, and I'll go mine." {points in the same direction}

(note: the text within the brackets are stage directions)

That's Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly!

Correct! (well, mostly. It's a running gag, and the payoff is when <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Horace Vandergelder</span></span> does it.)

Over to Calybos.
