"Oh...DUH!" moments with shows and cast recordings — Page 2

I listened _religiously_ to "Aspects of Love" for _years_ without picking up on the implication that maybe, just maybe, Alex is Jenny's real father.

I can't tell you how much more sense the character motivations made when I realized that. In my defense, no-one ever comes out and says it (Alex's "We _are_ just cousins" and "unnatural" comments are probably the strongest implications, and they're pretty subtle...)

Still, I considered this my second favorite show of all time for about five years before Stephen Citron of all people pointed it out...

Boy, did I feel stupid.

It took me a few listens to figure out that in "Next to Normal", that Diana was being hypnotized during "Catch Me I'm Falling"

I didn't realize that, that Gabe wasn't singing "Catch Me I'm Falling" until I saw it last Thursday. I felt so dumb. I thought Diana was literally walking to a room. I thought Gabe was leading her there to make her loose it and go crazy. I think both Arron and Louis sound the same when they sing. ::palm to forehead majorly::

And I always wondered if the movie in "Didn't I See This Movie" was a real one. I just found out it was today. lol

"I remember listening to rent way before the movie coming out and being too young to understand half of the references in La Vie Boheme."

SAME.

When my school was doing Crazy for you this year, a week before the show, i realized that Zangler was the "old chap" they saw on the train who "frankly" didn't look like he was going to make it. Though granted, when I explained this to people, they hadn't realized this either.

I was in a production of Bye Bye Birdie last month, and the vast majority of the cast had no idea that Lou was a dog until closing night.
