Whether you are an overall musical theater fanatic or just truly love a certain show, you'll surely agree that it's not difficult to become obsessed with a musical. Sometimes it starts by seeing a show live. Other times you start by listening to the cast recording or researching the show online.
No matter how you end up getting hooked here, here are some signs that you're completely obsessed.
1. You know every single word to every single song.
Literally, you know them all. I suppose that one goes without saying, though.
2. You have the entire cast album.
Of course, you listen to it at least once a day. Most likely much more than that... as in you listen to it on repeat.
3. You have a favorite scene (or two, or three...).
It's that scene you could reenact with your eyes closed and in your sleep. You've probably done at least one of those before, honestly.
4. Oh, and, you absolutely adore the cast.
You love a few of them a bit too much...
5. You would commit felonies to see it live.
When I say anything, I really do mean anything. Best of all, it's always worth it.
6. When you do get to see it, it is the experience of a lifetime.
There is truly nothing quite as spectacular as getting to see your favorite show and people right on stage.
7. You probably go to the stage door afterward.
How could you not get your Playbill signed by all your favorites and get the opportunity to actually meet them?
8. You get show merchandise/memorabilia, too.
Whether you buy apparel at the show or just hang up your signed Playbill on your wall, you're always showing support.
9. You feel almost personally offended when someone doesn't like it.
Clearly, they just don't get it.
10. You know the show is amazing, and nobody can convince you otherwise.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what people say. The show means a lot to you and likely to thousands of others.
