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.

# you know that Broadway CDs are not soundtracks but OBC recordings
# if anyone has a musical question, they automatically know to come to you
# you go to broadway.com and watch the videos under broadway buzz... and sometimes you watch the same video several times
# you wait for months for an OBC recording to come out and purchase it on amazon.com in the hopes of it coming a day early [or you purchase the same cd twice so you can ensure at least one cd will come quickly, in plans to return the slower cd mailer]
# you can sing through an entire musical, from the overture to the finale
# you waited in anticipation for the Tony nominations to be announced and checked the nominations at school, work, ect.
# randomly throughout the day a song will pop into your head, and you will sing or hum through the entire song and then proceed onto the remaining songs you know from the Broadway show.

When someone asks you if you would like an iPOD for you birthday, and you say "Thank you, but I would rather have really good seats to a broadway show instead".

Heh a certain BWWer actually did/said this to me the other day, thought it was worth mentioning. (Don't worry Jwei, I would never tell them it was you!)
I was telling him about watching Her Majesty Mrs. Brown and how a umm...certain scene with a certain gorgeous person in my icon on the left running into the ocean wearing, err nothing.
When someone says run, someone, run...you think they are referencing Run, Freedom run in Urinetown instead of run, Forrest, run.
