"Really, I never knew that song was in Avenue Q! Wow, how surprised am I??


(P.S. It's called "For Now". Look it up.)"

You know you're a Broadway musical fan when you rudely correct someone when they get the name of a song wrong.

When you hear someone's Billy Joel CD and ask if it's Movin' Out (I've done that about three times to the same friend.)

When you can't contain yourself in your Musical Theatre Dramatists class

When you blast Rent because your acting profs think you suck

When Hey Mr. Producer would be your dream concert experience

You hold your arms ala Eva Peron and pretend your on the balcony when listening to Evita

hey cole, I think you can either get those ringtones from the wicked website which I believe sells them and if they are not available there anymore, ask the guys at the cingular booth because I am pretty sure the ringtones on these went pretty mainstream. PS I LOVE WICKED ALSO. I had 45 seconds from the insane portion of Defying Gravity as my ringtone forever.

also got another one:

Get into a fight with my boyfriend and I started singing the "Last 5 Years" - I'm still hurting song" in his face...pretty classic. He's like seriously, stop it!

When you can name the understudies for un-popular shows but still haven't heard of many popular bands in the pop world.

Amen Ashley!
I have exactly the same problem...I'm pop culture challenged!

Oh well,
Cheers!

When you don't think that everyone who's posted thus far really knows what they're talking about.

- You accuse someone of lying and when they ask "Why would I lie?" you say "Look, everyone lies." and continue with "they just wanna get outta here" and finish the song.

-You can correctly spell boanthropy, acouchi, dengue, chimerical, and any other words found in the Bee.

EDITED for spelling. That would be just like me to spell one of the words in Spelling Bee wrong. Oh, the irony.

When you talk so much about one actor/actress that everyone thinks you are madly in love with them.
I think a bunch of us on this board are "guilty."
Edit: Ashley- did you mean "Boanthropy?"

When you're watching Deal Or No Deal and when Noel Edmunds (the host of the game in England) asks if a contestant is lucky you immediately start singing 'Lucky's what I am...'

Hm .. is it when you post messages on this forum, or is it enough to comment on some messages. Or is it even enough to visit this homepage - probably.

*When Maya Angelou is mentioned in English class, "La Vie Boheme" instantly starts playing in your head.

* You have listened to the Rent cd so much your 11 year old brother knows every word to "Today 4 U"

*You become so obsessed with a show your mother threatens to take it away.

*You have more than 5 broadway websites bookmarked.

*When listening to a song from your favorite broadway show, you can instanly tell who sings what part, what the characters full name is, and what the actors full name is.

When you see the following commericial on TV...

A girl in a spelling bee starts to spell aardvark, ard..., but because she ate breakfast (and is SUPER cool :-P), she starts over with two As and proceeds to the spell the word correctly...

you sing in your most annoying ...Spelling Bee voice,

"Once you start to spell a word you may start over, but the sequences of letters already spoken may not be changed!"

bwaymizfit- I can't believe you just posted that! I get so angry every time I see that commercial.

Some others:
When you're taking a test you have to sing assassins in your head to determine which president was killed/shot at by which character.

When you walk into any coffee shop, etc. and are tempted to buy decaffeinated tea just because it's there(TTB)

When you're in a room with a really old mail slot that has been dismantled and is now only a small rectangular hole in the door, you look through it and wait for someone to walk by before saying: "In here, life iz beautiful. Sie girlz are beautiful. Even sie orchestra is beautiful."

EVERY SINGLE TIME. That commercial annoys me to no end. Everyone around me's like yeah, yeah. We know they're wrong.

when you spend 5 1/2 hours waiting for rush seats to Jersey Boys and you find out your the cutt off for seats, and you have to STAND FOR 2 HOURS! This sucked! And then to find out that the OBC for Frankie and Nikki are not in the show once you get the playbill....

OUCH!

I paused it on Tivo, went into my mom's office, and went off on a huge rant about commercials and spelling bees and suspension of disbelief and how stupid the whole thing was. My mother just stared at me and said "...go away.... please..."

What do I win?

When you do a Performance Art piece where you go up to people and stick a nametag on them that says "Who Am I" with a number, and you make sure you give someone who doesn't get it 24601.
