Attack of Bway Fans- Ever been attacked in person for your love of a show?

I got attacked while in NYC twice for my love of ALL SHOOK UP. Once by a guy who thought Movin Out was better and Cheyenne couldnt sing. And again by one of those Improv comedy people telling me that I should see their show instead of ALL SHOOK UP because I had my ASU shirt on to not see "an overrated Broadway musical that sucks"

Ever been attacked?

No. But if I want guaranteed ass on a night out on the town- I wear my MOMMA MIA !shirt (size Small) with my ripped jeans.

Let's just say: THE WINNER TAKES ALL.

Wow, Matthew - that's um...revealing.

I once had Rent on when I was still living at home in GA back in 1997 and I had some guy on a tractor wearing overalls with no shirt on tell me to "turn off that hippie sh!t and do something useful".

That's a true story, no hyperbole involved.

I was sitting in my front yard with the music playing (rather loudly, I admit) and he was driving down the street on the tractor.

I grew up in a fairly rural/conservative area.

Not sure how I turned out to be so normal/liberal.

You were sitting in your front yard listening to Rent in Georgia?

Wait. Were you sunbathing? Were you playing on a boom box?

Patronus, we should talk, I live in Georgia(aka the armpit of HELL).

What about your love for a Bway actor, choreographer, director, ect.? Because I was talking about my obsession(sp?) of Bob Fosse. This guy turns to me and says, "Do you kno who I'm glad is dead? Bob Fosse?" And was DEAD(no pun intended) serious!!OMG! Can you believe that!?

The guy from TKTS who attacked me when I said Cheyenne Jackson was amazing saying he couldnt sing.

I catch crap all the time for my (slightly obsessive) love of Phantom. If I'm in a room and someone says "Phantom", everyone looks at me.

cancellation line for Wicked. A woman tries to make small talk by asking myself and my friend if we've seen Movin Out, and what we thought about it. I said I didn't really care for it, and the dancing was amazing, but I had seen better. I'd take Q over it any day.

the lady FLIPPED OUT. started basically telling me how amazing it was and how her daughter was a dancer and its top quality, and better than this and that and this and she'd seen it 5 times... which of course means I should love it, too apparently. Said Q was a piece of amateur theater and she didn't see why people liked it or why it had even been nominated for awards.

I sorta just said, ugh... i'm glad you loved it but I didn't at all, you really don't have to push what you love on other people so forcefully and knock down what they like. That's pretty rude.

Needless to say, standing in line for 3 hours with her after that was pretty much the most awkward 3 hours of silence I've ever experienced.

heh. And I thought these were the sorts of things that only happened online.

Was the guy who threw the can wearing overalls with no shirt by any chance?

HAHAHAHAHA

I think in that situation...you kind of deserved it, hon.

I mean. Rent blasting outta your window to the front yard is one thing. But you took that show on the road...

Aw. To think of it- that is sad. Are you okay? Because if a can of beer was ever thrown at me and I wasn't riding on a mechanical bull at the same time...my feelings would be hurt. Especially if it was cheap beer.

I grew up in the warm, sheltered arms of Southern California . . . or so it seems based upon every one else's experiences. As long as you are thin and/or have money, no one gives a rats ass about what you listen to. . .

There are some benefits to being from LA . . .
