You know you're a Broadway musical fan when... — Page 2

-When Your Answering Machine says "SPEAK"- Rent
-When Parents are scolding for bad test scores and you break out into "I'm Not That Smart"- Spelling Bee
-You think you are so cool because you know some italian words after seeing Light in the Piazza
Umm can't think of any others and the last one is more just because im lame!

ILoveMyDictionary, hahahaah I totally agree with the Forbidden Broadway thing...I'll be halfway through a song from a musical, and then it'll suddenly turn into the lyrics from the FB version, hahaha.

And alicia, YAY FOR GELPHIE.


<333.

I don't see how anyone can NOT see it, both in the book and the musical. It's just so...obvious. I mean, jesus christ...if you read the book, it's ALL over it in little pieces subtext.

You sing showtunes around the office at work - and try to get colleagues to join in with the harmonies and chorus numbers.

You can't remember the name of the guy you went out with, but know you dragged him along to an amateur production of 'Company' for a 2nd date.

You ask what production of any multiple recorded show, someone means when a fellow addict mentions a show ("Do you mean original cast? London revival? or off-off Broadway that played 2 weeks")
You spend several years with a fellow addict working out the beat possible cast for 'Follies' in the history of theatre - trust me I've done it every year for the past 10 years, it becomes addictive/obssessive/comforting.

but only for now!

When a conversation goes something like this....

Me: So what'd you have for lunch today? (Avenue Q)
Friend: The worst pies in New York. (Sweeney Todd)

or when we randomly break out into song.

I will say something, like, uh oh!
And she'll say, "UH OH! I said, fine with me......" (The Color Purple)

Insane.

When you were just watching Grey's Anatomy and one of the characters had melanomas and all you could think of was "and the leading cause of death... is melanoma."

When you tell the girl at the MAC counter that she looks like Idina Menzel, and are shocked when she says she doesn't know who that is.

You make a facebook group entitled "I'd Do Stephen Sondheim"

You say "Dwarves are very upsetting" and your friends laugh even though you actually mean it. - Into the Woods

A good amount of your away messages are showtunes.

Your family makes seafood and you think "Look at them clams" or "this was a real nice clambake" - Carousel

Someone asks if you want to get ice cream and you can't help but say "Ice cream, vanilla ice cream. . ."

You organize your cast recordings alphabetically and have to redo the whole thing when you buy a new one so you don't lose your precious CDs

The singer's musical theatre anthologies are (almost) equivalent to the bible.

You have to put a CR on before school or work to keep your spirits up.

You name your car "Finch" because its green.

I'm not a dork or anything.

You spend too much time on broadwayworld.com talking about how much of a musical theatre geek you are.

"And what's really funny - Pab, you put a link to a similar thread in that thread I linked..."

Yeah, I have a theory that there are really only about ten threads on BWW. The titles change a bit but basically you can find a similar thread posted sometime earlier.

You're at a ball game and you refer to half-time as INTERMISSION!

--When you get questions on Jeopardy correct only because you learned the knowledge from a musical

--You refer to broadway performers by their first name, and you can name their u/s, and you probably have numerous pictures with them...

--while walking around the city, you pass ensemble members of a show, and only you know who they are and that they are even IN a show

--Yes you have an Ipod full of broadway, but you also have numerous broadway playlists for your many moods (ie. Broadway love, Broadway dance, Angry Broadway)

--you are your most happiest at the theatre, or on stage.



and I'm guilty of most of the other ones, my friend mentioned a "goodbye party" and I started sing "goodbye! you were good but not good enough!" (spelling bee)...
and whenever I wear green, I wear my pink flip-flops :)
