Buzzfeed's Broadway themed lists usually aren't that good, but all of the gifs used on this one are Broadway related. Thought many of you would love it. It also starts with Aaron Tveit smiling. How can you go wrong?



THE LIST

It looks like the work of a young theatre major. Tveit, Keenan-Bolger, Glee and Smash? No.

Good point, Matt. Maybe I should actually look through a list I'm posting. I just saw Tveit and clicked. Is that what it means to give into a purely carnal impulse?

Oh, SNAFU, please join in the fun!

'Round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon
'Round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon
'Round the ole oak tree..."

Yes, I suppose it's clever.. if you are under the age of 25.

I suppose every generation has its "theatre moments they know all too well." But Buzzfeed knows the generation that checks it, and what moments THEY know all too well. "Elaine Page's cat hands," "That moment when the whole ensemble crouches and whisper-sings over almost no accompaniment" and "Liza doing her Liza arms" would have been completely lost on the Buzzfeed crowd, and indeed many whose style of choice is not Great American Songbook-era musical theatre.

It was probably nor written by the Buzzfeed staff. This message was at the bottom of the article: "This post was written by a member of the BuzzFeed Community, where anyone can post awesome lists and creations, and share them."

I got as far as "When you’re in a middle school show and you’re wondering..." and I clicked off.

Move this thread to the Student Board.

(Does anyone still wear...a Student Board?)

Clearly the work of the high school drama "nerd."

I'm also curious how landing a part in a now cancelled sitcom that saw a very steady ratings decline throughout its entire run could be considered a "flawless career move." (Not to knock Andrew Rannells, but I don't think the one dimensional stereotype Ryan Murphy forced him to play has really set his phone ablaze with offers)

This video (made by some talented friends of friends here in ATL) about a minute or so in sums up my thoughts on Buzzfeed, and those sites chock full of pointless lists.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

When I think Andrew Rannells on tv, I think GIRLS before anything else.

It wasn't written by Buzzfeed, it was contributed by a member of the Camp Broadway staff, as indicated in the byline.

By "We" I assume they mean 14 year-old girls.
