When did you realize you would never be on Broadway?

So I'm sure a lot of us used to (or maybe still do) school and community theatre. But when did you give up on the dream?

For me, I think it was the eve of my 30th birthday. I realized I didn't have the drive to make it to Broadway. So I decided I should aim a little lower and try to be President.

When I'm president, I'll unite the country AND Idina & Kristin. Give the people what they wait. #Chenzel #Huckabee2016 @MikeHuckabae

Well, I'll never be part of a Broadway cast...but I have been on a Broadway stage. I was in the onstage seating at "Xanadu" on June 11, 2008.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Why not aim a little higher and try to be funny. Or even better, see if you have superpowers and try to be invisible.

I've never had aspirations to perform, so Day 1, I guess. Saved me a lot of grief!

I'm always nice to you Roxy. That should be all that matters. In fact, you're my second favorite poster on BWW.

About 3 years out of High School. My mother died and I moved out of the house. Continued classes at Walnut Street Theater but realized real life kicked in and I had to support myself financially. Acting was out of the question.

It was years before I got really involved with the theatre and it ended up being in another fulfilling and enjoyable way.

I still want my Tony though!

This reminds me of a recent moment..when our great aunt was visiting her from Texas. She was here with her family celebrating her 96th birthday. She went to see a Broadway show to see (well hear) my daughter, who performs as a Broadway pit musician. After the show, we all wheeled her in her wheelchair through the stage door and onto the stage. One of her most precious comments was..."I never thought I would ever live to be on a Broadway stage...."

So I guess you never say never, right?

My parents were always blunt with me about my average abilities. I used to cry over it, but now I'm kinda thankful. The fall then was easier than it would be now.

Kathy, I kind of felt like your grandmother when I walked onto an empty Broadway stage and nearly burst into tears.

smh you old hag, you're so annoying.

I would say never give up, no matter what age you are. As long as the passion is still there. But if you're the same age or older as DemonManSnob then its over! Your career would just be dead sorry:/

Oh, to still be so young and immature where you think everyone over 30 is old. But I do love that you actually use a picture of someone your own age for your avatar.

The legend, Mr. Jerry Orbach, is sadly long gone. You probably didn't even know that or know who he is, for that matter.

Are you suggesting that Fisherman is posting from beyond the grave? That he is a dead man?

This is super important for the young people reading this thread, wondering if they'll ever make it:

When I sucked in high school drama. Then I realized I prefer a steady job, and not be homeless. So I went into law and perform in a courtroom instead.

Not to be confused with Dave19.
