Are you a good source for Broadway Shows?

In school i am known as the only theater nerd. The ONLY one(its a small school). but teachers and students have approached me and asked what to see. I tell them the latest buzz. A few days later i find out they have seen a show and are later addicted to the cast recording. I write my essays on shows, my examples on shows and of course where theater memorabilia

My family that lives outwest where broadway is not as popular is hooked on going to NYC for a show cause i inform them of how great broadway is. My name is through the grapevine from friends and family as to report the latest hit shows when going to NYC. Life has not been so nice to me the past few years but Broadway has been.

Teachers have pointed out that i am more depressed when i am not talking about broadway.

Broadway i dont know if its the singing, the dancing, or the acting. But you have revolutionized my life in ways i cant express. I am happy to be a Broadway fan.

And you felt that you needed to create a thread about this because...?

i just wanted to know if people come to any of you for questions about what to see? I just got ahead of myself sorry

Absolutely :) Going to school in New York, people know that I'll at least have something to say about almost any Broadway show that they're thinking of seeing, whether or not it's actually informed...

But I'm glad your friends respect you as a source when it comes to Broadway shows! It's always good to have something you're passionate about.

Funny, I always thought Cameron Mackintosh was a good source for Broadway Shows.

I agree. Do not let assholes make you feel bad Bundy! I used to think I was a bitch until I started reading some of these posts. Boy was I wrong. People just get off on making others feel like they don't know anything about Broadway (when you think about it: is there anything lamer? HA!) Don't listen to them. Keep loving theatre. We need more sweet people like you!

A perfect example of a post simply to show off what they know

Um, I think I am a pretty good source for Broadway shows
I pick the shows, the dates to see shows (on your trips to New York) and purchase the tickets online for my family and I.
So basically, if my family doesn't like a show, I'm blamed because I'm supposed to be able to choose good stuff, haha. Thats pretty rare, though, my family likes pretty much anything.
Also, my art teacher, my sister's friend, and a girl in my class have all asked me what they should see when they go to New York since I've gone there quite often, so that feels good.

I can't whip out theatre facts whenever someone asks me a question, but I like finding good shows and good seats for people. I don't know, its a good feeling buying tickets to a show (especially when you pay for the shows you see yourself- hey, im a teen, and i work to see shows like everyone else, haha). :)

Yeah

Yes

Because this is Broadway message board. Seriously, this is a forum for people to come and be accepted for their love of the theater! You're exactly the kind of a*hole Laura Benanti is talking about!
