...when you and your brothers only go places when your arms are linked, you're skipping, and you're singing "We're off to see the Wizard" and then you get detention for skipping in the hall.

...when you've choreagraphed a whole show (in your own room, of course).

...your non-theatergeek friends can predict what song you're going to sing after hearing certain comments, because you've song them so many times.

...when you've had season tickets to a certain theatre for 11 years and you're not even 13.

...when you and other theatergeeks play the piano and sing together musicals... over the phone.

...when you make a list of all the musicals of which you can think and you have to stop because you ran out of paper.

...when all your 5-yr-old brother wants for his birthday is the "Wicked" OBCR.

...when your "ready position" in tennis is a dance to "We're in the Money".

And people call me a TheaterGeek? Bah! That was really fun, I'll have to add more soon.

"...you find yourself using words like "hideodeous" in everyday conversation."
How about "afrotastic?"

When your 11-year-old brother's favorite CD is the OBC of Company.

I made a separate thread for this so we can continue on with the obsessions.

- When you buy the stuffed puppet bunny at the Urinetown tour, even if you have no use for it.

I got one: When you replicate a costume from your favorite show (guilty as charged--I've made three costumes from CATS and have my eye on the "Gimme Gimme" dress).

When you are in your music class and you see all the spit in the second row....making you re-name that row "Spit Row" and sing "Downtown" in your head with different words.

"When you have no idea who Kanye West(cringe) is or what Usher(another cringe) new song is, but know who the next up-and-coming Broadway star is."

Who the hell is Kanye West?

when someone asks you what you're doing, and it always relates to broadway.

Example:

Whatcha doing?
Searching Internet Broadway Database
Playbill.com
Broadwayworld
All That Chat
Theatermania
Live Broadway
Seeing a show, listening to Wonderful Town,

or when the only music on your MP3 Player is showtunes. Wait, I've also got the "Reba" theme song.

Your response to the words, "We should go," is, "meet the dinosaurs, Cathy." I did this one tonight, and my roommate actually got it. I'm so proud of her.

[Jess1483]

When your roommate's boyfriend checks your temperature when he sees you on the computer and you're not on BWW (not kidding.)

[Rose_MacShane]

You cried when you heard your favorite show was closing. And I don't mean a tear or two, I mean you actually sobbed.

When you think nothing of shelling out $50 to buy a closing-night Playbill from your favorite show.

When you leave the funeral home early to watch the Tony awards, and then make everyone shut up when your favorite actor's name is mispronounced by someoene who clearly knows less about musical theatre than my pet rock.

[Jess1483]

RENT
When someone says "It's over," you break into I'll Cover You Reprise and then start crying.

BARE
When someone IM's you and says "Are you there?" You respond "Are you there? can you make some time for me?"

When you say "you're amazing" and someone asks "Why" and you reply with "I don't know, you just are. This whole thing is."

Rose...I am so guilty about that one! When Cabaret closed there was this fantastic article on playbill about the show and half way through reading it, I just started sobbing.

[Rose_MacShane]

Posted: 10/26/04 at 1:04am

Me too, Chrysanthemum. When I heard CATS was closing, I was very upset, especially because I hadn't seen it on Broadway yet. Needless to say, I badgered my parents to incorporate it into our trip to NY that summer.

When you quote from Musicals to get a point across.
When you are at an audition telling the other people
"God I hope I get it"
When after you see a show, you are still talking about it after two weeks.
When you see "Broadway's Lost Treasures" on PBS over and over, knowing that its always going to be the same performances.
When you see the movie "Jersey Girl" just to see the scene from "Sweeney Todd"
When you are starting rehersals for a new musical, and you are the first one to know the shows whole music.

You wake up in the middle of the night from singing in your dream.
You dream of Brooklyn and falling houses on your head.
