You know you're a B'way geek when... — Page 2

When you refuse to say "I'm sorry" because you finaly snapped and yelled at your friends that can recite by heart the whole Rent movie, but don't know a word of "Christmas Bells", and who insist that "Seasons of Love" has always been at the begining of the show, and who say that everyone should sing "Love Heals" at the school talent show.

When someone at dinner says "I would like to propose a toast" and you immediately start singing La Vie Boheme and your friend starts singing Ladies Who Lunch.

when you can reply in song to any question anyone ever asks you.


and i too am guilty of having mostly OBC's or solo albums by broadway stars on my iPod.

I have a La Vie Boheme thing too. If I eveer see Huevos Rancheros on the menu, I start mouthing the whole song. And I won't stop.
If someone says "I can do that" then you start going "Knew every step right off the bat..said I can do that."
When you see a bottle of alcohol you go "Champagne makes me DROWSY!"
You can think of more than fifteen shotunes with "love" in the title.
You got Sirius AND XM for their theatre channels.
Whenever any MINOR cast change happens in your favorite show, you have to see it. Again.
If your expenses were on a pie chart, it would be about 85% theater tickets, 15% other.
You can do the entire "I Hope I get it" routine in your sleep.
When you were little, you got up and danced to Eidelweis (or however you spell it) on your sound of music cast recording and danced.
I did this. I got choreography when I was like five for my ballet class and before I went to sleep, I had to do my routine at least once.
You know every ACL monologue,and have memorized every cue, dance move and actor's name from the tour, OBC and Revivals.
You have to compare all of your jukebox musical CRS to the actual CD.
You are on BroadwayWorld.com at school, at work, just waiting for someone to disapprove or approve of your latest review.

When you're reading your religion book and it's the chapter about Christianity and the gospel of Matthew and everything you read you put in the context of Godspell and can't stop singing the songs... honestly that happened about 30 min ago.

Freckles1329, that happened to me when I read Plato's The Apology! "I honor and love you, but I shall obey god rather than you..."

every time you get in a plane and you start singing "I'm Flying" and "Defying Gravity"...

:P

"You say something, realize it was a direct line from a Broadway song, and burst into singing the song."

That's what I usually do...

When you go to a very small, private, hick school and you and a friend dress up as Roger and Mimi during spirit week (Dynamic Duo Day, it was either them or Angel and Collins and we couldn't find good Angel clothes at Goodwill) and get asked 100 times who you're supposed to be.

I guess it's not normal to wear snakeskin pants to school. Rats.

You get so frustrated with people who get excited because they think Eyedina Monzel and Kirsten Chinnyweth are coming with the Wicked tour. Ditto with my telling people I saw Rent on tour and they want to know how good Anthony Rapp was.

Gosh, where do I begin!

- When your desktop is a collage you made yourself with pics of all the shows you saw on your last trip to NY

- When you have stood for an entire show just so you could see it (and it later won Best Play. Go History Boys!)

- When your graduation gift was a trip to New York.

- When you used to sing "It takes many men to make a gun..." in first grade.

- When your senior quotes were all from Broadway shows.

- When you start singing the opening notes of "Till We Reach That Day" everytime someone cries out "Noooo!"

- (Okay, this one happened to me today) When your friend tells you need to start groveling and you burst out into Joseph in the middle of the cafeteria.

- When you check Playbill.com everyday

- When your friends are telling riddles to each other and you ask "What's pink and green and flies all over?" and then cry because you don't know the answer to this one. (alright, so it never went to Broadway, but I guess you really are a geek if you know what I'm talking about here)

- When you were a speller in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and knew all the words as the cast sang them too you on stage. And knew that they cut out a song. (Which was too bad, because I like "Why We Like Spelling")

- When you were upset that Gemignani's rendition of "Parlor Songs" was not put on the New Broadway Cast Recording because he did such an amazing job at it in the show.
