...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I go through phases, mostly dictated by the show I last saw. Right now I have a healthy obsession with Jersey Boys. I saw it a about a month and a half ago and its still going strong, and most likely will be fueled again when I see the show next week.

Past obsessiosn have included Rent and Wicked (which I will alway carry a torch for), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Cabaret and Taboo.

Oh YES! Right now I'm obsessed with Rent & the Wicked obsession has gone for more about 2 years I think.

Prior to that I was obsessed with Annie Get Your Gun, Kiss Me Kate, Phantom, Les Mis, Jekyll & Hyde, you name it!

I'm always obsessed with Linda Eder's "Broadway My Way" CD :)

You know I never got the obsession w/ Millie. It was an OK show for me. Although I thought Dixie Carter was wonderful! :)

Harriet Harris was a must-see.

I think I missed Harriet by a few weeks. I actually wanted to see Delta Burke, but missed her and got Dixie. She was pretty funny! It was a good cast: Susan Egan, Leslie Uggams, Dixie, etc, but the show didn't wow me!

I will obsess over Sondheim shows for months. Right now, the current revival of Sweeney Todd and the revival of Assasins are keeping me very busy!

Haha.
Mine are...
-points to avatar-
and, Wicked for, like a day, until I realized that it was a pretty weak score.
Rent, but because of the beautfiul way that it plays out, the score, and everything.
Q for a while, I loved seeing a musical that made fun of NYC life,
and some classics.
I loved 42nd street!
25APCSB, I met the cast, and I found myself falling in love with everything about it.

When I first saw it, I was crazy for "Crazy For You." I saw it when I was 4 and I was obsessed with it until I was about 12. Then it was Les Mis for a LONG time. Now, it;s DRS. Duh. lol. and that will be the way for a LONG time.

I would have to say DRS right now, but I have been listening to Tick Tick Boom! a lot, because I just saw it at a local theatre.

I have been aware of musicals all my life, but I never really became obsessed with any of them untill Wicked. Yes I was one of those crazy fangirls going "oMg I LYKE TOtallY LOVE wiCkED It'S THE greATEst!" Then I realized how dumb I was acting, then one day I was searching Idina Menzel's fansite because I was still obsessed with Wicked and I saw she was going to be in a movie of Rent. I look at the rent movie site, read the plot, and totally forgot about Wicked. I became obsessed with rent and everything about it. Now I've gotten over it. I still like it, but I don't listen to the recording everyday. Now I'm obsessed with Aida and this summer I'm planning to expand my knowledge of musicals. If there are any musicals that I should definatly learn about PM me.

At eight, I was obsessed with ANNIE (huge surprise), and I was Method in my obsession: for a while there I got up at six am, put on a raggedy dress, 'scrubbed' the carpet in my bedroom, and fixed myself 'mush' (flour and water). I was an only child, what can I say. . .

After that, I obsessed over OLIVER!, DAMN YANKEES, COMPANY, and SWEENEY TODD -- URINETOWN being the most recent obsession. I tend to obsess more on actors -- not meaning that I'm a stalker, but just that I'll see everything they're in.

Q is my number one musical forever! I've seen it three times and I can't stop being obsessed with it.

Then again, I get obssessed with practically every musical I see, but for the moment, along with Q, Rent, JB, Spelling Bee, and DRS are at the top of my list (at least this month).

Just one question: Jerseyboyslover, how do you get emails from all those amazing performers?! are there really ways to contact them so easily?

I was running on a Spelling Bee kick for about 2 months, but my entire family (including me) got sick of hearing/talking about it.

When I was 9, I was totally obsessed with Annie.

Now, nothing haha.
