Thank you! That is the nicest thing anyone has said to be all day. :) Imagine what I would be like if I actually lived in NYC.

When you invite your favorite Broadway actor and his wife to dinner in your home and they accept.

theater advisory in your school go to you for show information
When you introduce yourself to actors by your BWW screenname and they know who you are.

......you carve your pumpkins into theatre masks.
You start writing out lyrics to "Great Big Stuff" when astronomy starts to get boring.
You find out your coworker knows and loves Avenue Q and randomly burst out into song from it . . . at work. Yesterday it was "What Do You Do With A B.A. In English".

Two that are definately me:
Everytime somebody stands up to propose a toast, the first thought in your head is "to Maureen's noble tribe".
You have arguements with your female friends and you just want to shout at them "got to the cellar and pray women!"
"Maureen's Noble Tribe"? That makes Wax Lion chuckle.
Love,
Wax Lion

Crap on a stick!
You know what I really mean *hits head*
On the other hand... it is rather funny what comes out of oneself when posting late at night while rather sleepy.

Today during Science, our teacher was talking about chemistery. It was driving me crazy!! Everytime she said "chemistry" I wanted to shout out "Chemistery? Yeah, chemistery!"
By the way. How do you spell chemistry. That doesn't look right.

...when you suddenly spaz over the a clip from the Sweeney revival like the little nerd you are.
When you bust out crying before the show even starts.

LOL!!!!!
when you watch the hour and a half of a American Theatre Wing seminar about the production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when you should have been doing hw.
Dollypop, tell us more!
While discussing Titus Androndicus in Shakespeare class and call him the demon barber of fleet street and only the professor gets the comment, while discussing Romeo and Juliet and mistakenly refer to the Montagues and Capulets as the Sharks and the Jets, and finally while discussing the witches in Macbeth, you keep thinking how Elphaba could kick their asses.

...you wait for 3 hours in downtown detroit for idina menzel (and you're not even sure she's coming out.)
When you work that silver magic you aim it at the wall.
^This thread was bumped to say you waited 3 hours for Idina Menzel? Ouch, lol. But anyway, great thread! Here’s some that apply to me:
- When your mp3 player is filled with all showtunes and other songs sung by Broadway performers
- When you can name the theater each show is playing in and what street it’s on…
- …and when you’re in the city and your friends ask where Rent/Xanadu/whatever is and you lead them there to “visit” it.
- When all your family members ask you first before buying tickets or when deciding on what show to see.
Others I just made up:
- When the stage door security man knows who you are.
- When you have to go to a certain performer’s first or last show.
- When you have too much Broadway merchandise to fit in your house/apartment.

You have seen Les mis at least 15 times?? :)
When you see Rent Remixed in London 25 times in its 3 month run and the lead cast tell you to go home and stop wasting your money and offer you a slice of pizza in between shows when they order in!
Or when you are planning a trip to NYC for the first time around when Rent is in Phili and have worked out you can see 10 shows in one week, and even more if you venture into off-broadway, which i will be doing!
