You know you're a Musical Theatre nerd when...
- You turn up the radio when ads for touring shows come on...
- You know who Kristin Chenoweth and Jonathan Larson are...
- You say "merde" whenever someone says "Macbeth"...
- Words like "intermission," "scrim," and "cue" hold a special place in your vocabulary...
- To you, a facial is a clean pack of baby wipes after a performance...
- You own more stage make-up than regular make-up...
- Even when you're not in your school's production everyone automatically assumes that you are...
- When someone calls a show CD a soundtrack, you immediately snap back that it's an "original cast recording"!
- You work out to Rent music at the gym...
- You can relate anything to a showtune...i.e. someone mentions a shooting and "Cell Block Tango" comes to mind...
- You're more concerned with the Tonys than the Emmys...
- You know what that last one means...
- Your coworkers/classmates, in a moment of pure boredom, ask you what you collect. you reply "Playbills" then you have to explain WHAT a playbill is. idiots.
- When your friends asks "what do you want to do?" You can't just say "I don't know." You have to sing it, a la "little shop".
- You actually sing all your favourite songs in the correct key because it just sounds wrong anyway else.
- When you get in a fight with another MT fan you start naming the randomest shows possible to see who has better knowledge of off- Broadway, off-off-broadway and workshop only shows. You win, of course, with your triumphant declaration "No, Douglas Sills turned down DRS for rehearsal in New Jersey of The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T!" or something of the sort...
- When you have to write a paragraph about the music you like in spanish class, and you raise your hand and say: "Senora, como se dice showtunes en espanol?"

- In your school production you are asked to lead the rehearsals as you know all the songs already and can pick up the dance moves in seconds.
- When your music assessment is to write a review of your favourite album in 500+ words, and you pick a show album. And when you're barely started, it's already 870 words...
- You know exactly how many minutes there are in a year...
- Family friends buy you Broadway soundtracks for your birthday...
- You keep ALL your programs from any show you've seen whether it was on Broadway or a local show with your friends in it...
- You can convince your parents to let you stay home from school and still perform that night in your show.
