You know you're a Broadway musical fan when... — Page 4

"You find look-a-likes of actors on the street, and compare to find out if it's really them, because you are too shy to ask."

Aha! I do that one all the time. Once I thought I saw Jason Kravits at a Starbucks, so I was practicly breathing down his neck seeing how he signed his name on his receit, and then I kept hanging around to hear what name they called out when his coffee was ready. I never did find out it it was him or not...

and simialr to uncageg's...

When you pass by the street where your favorite show is and go "Hi (insert name of all the characters here)

I do the "Purpose" one too!

I'm glad I'm not a total dork. I have more "real" music on my iPod than showtunes.

I got 2 of these:

1. When you start moo...ing in a movie theatre because the character (Maureen) tells you too, and nobody else is mooing. Really funny stuff.

2. For the Rent Movie. The day before I ordered every showing for November 23rd in Pennsytucky. The night before I went to the city to catch the premiere at the Ziegfeld because I couldn't wait (and I wanted to catch the show in 2 states in a 24 hour period). Got the Ziegfeld 2 hours early and all the seats that were left were way up front. Tracy Tomms and Anthony Rapp showed up 5 minutes before the film started. Then drove back to Pennsytucky at 6 in the morning to catch the 8 am. showing of Rent. One of many that day. AND DAMNIT IT WAS WORTH IT. Saw the movie 14 times in the theatres like a nutcase.

Sorry guys all my real dedication stories involve Rent.

Ha, I've got quite a few personal ones...

...When you go to Little Italy and when your friends ask you if you know any Italian, you break out into "Aiutami"

...When you write a 10 page paper on "The psycological impacts of Lev Vygotsky's Special Education Theory...As seen in the Light in the Piazza"

...When you write ANOTHER 10 page paper on philosophy in "Into the Woods"

...When you go to Friendlys and start singing "Free Refills... I just got a cup with Free Refills, and suddenly that drink, will never be the same to me... Free refills-I'm drinking a cup with free refills, and suddenly I've found, how wonderful a sound, can be!!!" (Yes, I sing that every time)

...You sing Suppertime at, when else, suppertime!

...You go to New York and look up the ending times of every Broadway show so that you can stage door hop and meet the actors

...You work at a movie theater and when the theater is empty you sing "Is Anybody there? Does Anybody care?"

Okay, I've done 75% of the things that you guys have listed. And the others have just given me good ideas. :-P

Whenever anybody tells you that you're smart, you simply say "Apple juice, please!"

At late-night parties you'll stand up on the table and yell "Ooh look, it's tomorrow!"

Whenever anybody says something about modesty you simply say "I don't wanna show off no more"

You have a big box devoted to your broadway items (ex: confetti from "Thank goodness" or your playbills. i also got a japanese pamphlet from drs that i keep in there)

ooh yeah, i was also the first one mooing at rent, and i stood up and started mooing my head off and my mother just turned around to pretend that she didn't know me

you look at your annoying little brother and think about Ruprecht.

people start keeping lists of things not to say around you in fear that you'll burst into song

you're at a cast party with your local theater group and you just start singing la vie boheme and the people around you start covering their children's ears

also at cast parties, you sing songs to your waitresses

you worry about going on vacation because you may not get the chance to check broadwayworld for new updates!

also, you can only say "washington dc" with a lisp

you have a strange phobia of meat pies or barbershops

You know you're a musical fan when you log into Broadway World daily. : )

You know you're a fan when you can't name the 50 states but can name 50 musicals

You go to a Yankees game and think of Randall Keith in Les Miserables every time a pot-bellied beer-drinkin' fan shouts "BRING 'IM HOME!"

Oh, I just remembered this one. You're at a restaurant w/ all of your friends celebrating you birthday and someone says "wine and beer!" and then everyone breaks into song and you go all the way through La Vie Boheme, and it's obnoxious but you don't give a damn because it's your birthday. : )

Okay I got another good one...

A little over 2 years ago there was a huge snowstorm in new york - it was a little more than 2 feet of snow, well we had ordered are RENT tickets and me and my friend weren't going to let a little snow stand in the way. So I parked my car at my buddy's house in Jersey and took the train up, well it was snowing so hard the train was delayed 45 minutes and by the time we got up to NYC we had about 10 minutes to walk 8 blocks in 2 feet of snow. I hopped on my friends back and rode him like a horsey all the way to the NEDERLANDER theatre where there were literally 30 other idiots who did the same thing. Well we got out of the theatre and my program that I paid 10 bucks for went into the snow and I couldn't find it and I got back to jersey where my car was toed. WAS IT WORTH IT? HELL YES!

While at buying a box of cookies at a local bakery, you have to restrain yourself from saying to the cashier "I sort of hate to ask it, but do you have a basket?"

You actually make a meat pie. And eat it. While singing "God That's Good."

When you see a picture of a young woman with curly blonde hair in an art museum on a photography website, you are immediately convinced that it's Lauren Molina.

When you see a Broadway performer on Law & Order, you scream out a line from one of their shows without even thinking.

You try to raise your right eyebrow in pictures so you can look a little more like Sutton.

You slip words like "chimerical" into your everyday vocabulary.

how did you get these ringtones? Am dying to know - I think I did my first posting on here wrong. I was trying to ask you personally about this. I have Cingular. I really enjoyed your myspace site too. LOVE the footage of Wicked rehearsal. How did you get it? Was it still in rehearsals then? Anyway, whatever advice you could give me about the tones would be great :) thank you

When you listen to the Wicked soundtrack so much in the "mommy" minvan that your two todders, ages 4 and 2yrs old, know EVERY WORD of the show. ADORABLE :)
