You know the original and current casts of multiple shows.
You twitch when someone's wrong about a musical.

AMEN renthead! Lol.

You hear a word or line that MIGHT allude to a musical, and proceed to sing the entire song AND have the show stuck in your head all day.

The sad thing is, I didn't know what S4ANW was, but two seconds later I figured it out. Anyway.

...your musical director in the spring musical mentions that he's been in Sideshow and you squeal, "Ken Jennings was in that!"
...you wear shirts from shows to school and are disappointed when no one knows what the show is.
...you try to incorporate Broadway into all of your projects at school.
...you own at least one book that has "Broadway" or "musicals" in the title.
...you burn copies of your cast recordings and give them to friends for their birthdays, in an effort to convert them get them interested.
...you flip out when someone calls a cast recording a "soundtrack".
...your mother begins to say, "Wow! Spamalot got..." and you finish "Fourteen, I know."
...you make musical references that no one gets.
...you manage to incorporate other musicals into your school's spring musical.

Sadly, I'm guilty of all of those.
