You know you're a B'way geek when... — Page 7

You go on a roadtrip with your friends and sing RENT all the way to your destination.

You have about 100 songs titled "Finale" on your ipod.

You buy a belt just because it says "off-broadway show" and only wear it on special occasions... you know, when you wear your I Love NY shirt or one of you show shirts.

You have a closet full of show shirts.

You have framed playbills hanging on your walls in your dorm.

When you hear someone playing Aida down the hall of your dorm, you get excited, walk down the hall (at 12:15 in the morning, while you are in pajamas) and have a two hour discussion about how amazing Broadway is.

When you went to NYC for the first time, you made sure to dance on 42nd street, sing on Broadway, and take photos of every marquee you could possibly see! :)

You know the names of everyone ever to play Elphaba. You can also put them into chronological order depending on which production they are/were in.

Your friends don't even ask why you're going to London anymore...they know you're going to que up from 7:00 in November to see Wicked...four the 5th time in 3 months.

You pick up an all the differences between Wicked London and Wicked other places. Such as Helen chaging a line in Popular.

You have to alter you iPod before your friends get in the car get in the car to find an album that's not show tunes and if it is one they know (Evita, SoM etc) so they wont whine the whole way into town.

When your friends get excited over autographs from people on telly...your pride of place signature is Idina Menzel who they have no clue who she is.

You know you're a Broadway geek when Les Miserables functions as your "angry music". Whenever I'm pissed I put on Do You Hear the People Sing or At the End of the Day. Kind of pathetic, really...

Because in Italian class today when we were talking about Idioms, the teacher says: "Here we say 'break a leg' because, you never say goodluck on the night of a show
((starts singing the song via Producers)) Now, does anyone happen to know what they say in Italy? Usually in Opera houses like, at La Scala for example..."
and you almost burst out "In Boca lupo!" and she just looks at me and goes "Wow, Yeah how'd you know that?

=)!!

I decided to revive this thread because I love it.

any time you get pissed off you loudly exclaim "Jesus Christ Superstar!"

Anytime you're backstage at a rehearsal you and your best friend "write" musicals and/or play Diva hide and seek.

You yell at your mother because she said that the only time she's ever enjoyed a musical was when she saw "Phantom of the Opera"
...that last one really pissed me off.

---

you see an 18-wheeler ROADWAY truck go by and think that for one fleeting second it said BROADWAY.
the worse part is that happens to mmore often than i can say.

---

you're siiting in class, bored as hell but you perk up when the "bell tower" at your school starts playing a showtune.

One of the reasons I love Brooklyn College.

You get excited when you realize your college offers a course entitled, 'Broadway Musicals' and wonder why you didn't know that three semesters ago when you first started.

You get your weather reports from Playbill.com


Haha. I totally do that, and I don't even live in NYC.

---

I do the iPod thing too.

-When someone asks you if you like Phantom, and you procede to lecture the person for twenty minutes about how Sondheim is so much better than ALW.

-When you skip school to see the Rent movie the first possible showing at your theatre.

-When you buy a print of "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" because Sunday was based off of it.

_ALmost all the books you take out of you library are Broadway books.

Here's one from today...


When you're in a class on medieval women, and when your professor says something like "and the women would be responsible for taking the animals to market.."

and all you can hear in your head is "Listen well, son, Milky White must be taken to market" "But Mother, no! He's the best cow!"


And another one, we were talking about barbers in Victorian times...yeah that led pretty easily to thoughts about Sweeney.

- In college you take millions of pictures because Avenue Q told you to.
