You know your a deranged musical theatre fan when....

1. You see the show twice in the same week!
2. You have had dinner with a cast member from your favorite show.
3. Family and friends forbid you to speak the name of your favorite show.
4. You are willing to wait an hour for everyone to come out the stage door in 45 degree weather at night.
5. You had a choice between a fab cruise and Broadway. You of course pick broadway.
6. You keep trying to get people to sing show tunes with you.
Does anyone else have any?

When you get bored in class and you make a list of all of the Stephen Sondheim musicals you know from front to back.

You can name the starting and closing dates of at least 12 different shows.

Madame, lol. I used to do that all the time! I even wrote in the small stuff like Evening Primrose and The Frogs (this was before hte Broadway show btw.) and The Last of Shiela.

Another one I can ace is Andrew Lloyd Webber:all of his shows that never happened, his minors, majors: you name it

I cando it with my eyes closed in 5 seconds!

"You're" is the contraction of "you are"
("You're extremely tall").
"Your" is the possessive form of "you"
("I like your shoes").

When you run into a Broadway actor going about their everyday life, then call your best friend and say "You will not beleive who I just saw!"

You talk to someone who is in a broadway show and suddenly realize you know WAY more about a lot of shows than they do!

When you find a hat similar to Eponine's and wear it from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep. (Ah, yes. Memories)

When you can play 6 degrees of seperation...with Broadway actors only.

You see the same show twice in the one DAY, rotfl.
You suffer through 21 hours on a plane because you can't wait for a certain show to come to your country.
You take a stopover all alone in another city to see...a show. (The touring production of something you're already seeing on b'way)
The day after you get back from your trip, you see another show, determined to beat the jet lag!
When someone asks what else you did on your trip other than see musicals, all you can do is shrug and go, what else IS there to do?!

When in NYC you ask for a seat by the window of the restaurant because it's about that time for Broadway stars to head to work and your favorite actor's show is playing nearby and what if he walks past?

When he actually does, you scream.

When you've forced your friends to see a musical just because you can.

You are willing to spend four hours on a Greyhound bus to travel to Broadway after working the night shift,getting three hours sleep, and coming right back 8 hours later Just to see the musical Rent live before the movie comes out.

You wait three years to watch the movie version of Chicago because you want to see the musical on Broadway first(which is the reason I am going to see Rent before the movie comes out).

.......and you're straight and into musicals

Wow! I thought I was dedicated! I have another one. Currently it's almost six, I have been up since 4:30. I am to excited to sleep cause in a few hours I am seeing the national tour of Little Women and I am trying to come up with a plan to meet the lead actress.

Well, I fit into some more than others..do all kinds of different things involving writing down musicals when I'm bored in class, perfected it as an art last year...would write showtunes w/ names in it, numbers, geographic locations, all the shows I've seen, play shows A-Z, very useful

but this cracked me up...

"You talk to someone who is in a broadway show and suddenly realize you know WAY more about a lot of shows than they do!"

woah, just reread it...at first I thought you said you know way more about their show than they do...I mean there was this one time in one of my favorite shows where an actor flubbed a line and I talked about it w/ him at the stage door and he didn't know what I was talking about! I know mistakes they made when they didn't...that was slightly sad.

hmm...it was dec 30th...i waited for idina menzel to come out from Wicked for an hour and half and it was def below freezing...i guess i'm a freak

when you have a mini iPod that holds 1000 songs and yours is filled with ALL showtunes
(i noe mine is..LOL)

[farfrombway]

Posted: 10/15/05 at 9:47am

LOL. It's all relative I guess. I live in CA and to me 45 degress is chilly! Just though of another one. Currently it raining and a little chilly in old CA. I am freaking out cause I know what this type weather can do to singing voices. Little Women in a few hours! I see understudies in my future!!!! Quick everybody knock on wood!!!!

[farfrombway]

Posted: 10/15/05 at 9:54am

Any understudies out there please don't tear me to shreds! I just really want to see these actors and if there are understudies on today I am sure will do the roles justice!!

--Your Amazon.com recommedations consist ONLY of Broadway DVD's or CD's.
--You're going to see so many shows in one trip to NYC, when anyone asks, you can't even remember all of them to list!
--You've see Les Miz every time the tour has come to your town in the last 10 years, which is about 7 times!
