singing - all my life (so 17 years), lessons for 5
acting - about 4 years of training, i guess
dance - different (sort of useless) kinds of dance for 6 years, started ballet this year.

I've been singing forever. I just started acting and dancing this year. So I really hope it's not too late for me. (I'm a junior this year 
)

Half my live. Seven years. If you're good at math you'll know I'm fourteen.
You should get into it. I guess it's never to late to start. Even if you don't get anywhere it's pure FUN! But start off with ballet and jazz. Take classical voice training. Get into begginer acting classes. As for acting, after taking a few years of regular classes I'd definatly get into the Meisner Technuiqe, or The Stanislovsky Method.

i love all this advice, but what would you guys guess is the "ideal" age to be a performer, particularly on broadway 
, and like what's too old?

Just wanted to say I think it's important for you to get classical training as a singer. It's the best way to learn, and can really keep you from damaging your voice. Gotta take baby steps. Then if you can sing classical, you can sing anything, including musical theatre.
Though I've been singing in choirs for 8 years, I've studied voice for 3. Acting classes for 4, no dance yet. Planning on taking it this summer.

Awesome,
I don't think there is a "too old" age for Broadway. I hope not. I think it depends on the charactor you want to play and what the directors are looking for. But I think anyone could be on Broadway regardless of age. That's just my opinion on it. So go for it and don't let age hold you back!!
