1) Heathers

Every young musical theatre nerd out there knows this show and can tell you that in the bootleg, "JD is played by understudy, Dan Domenech instead of Ryan McCarten and Heather Chandler is played by understudy, Charissa Hogeland instead of Jessica Keenan Wynn." People will belt "Candy Store" at all cast parties and get misty eyed with karaoke renditions of "Seventeen".

2) The Last Five Years

JRB is everyone's favorite nerdy composer. The Last Five years is a typical falling in and out of love story with a twist in the characters' timelines. The songs are usually to overdone to audition with, however on any given day, you can catch several members of your cast humming "A Summer in Ohio".

3) Next to Normal

Whether they love it or hate it, every contemporary musical theatre lover has an opinion about this show. One of the first shows to discuss multiple mental illnesses, the soundtrack to this show is a soulful rock-opera vibe. Everyone has sung or thought about singing "Everything Else" for auditions or rocked out to "My Pyschopharmacologist and I" alone in their bedroom.

4) Anything Goes

Out of all the classics, this is the one all musical theatre nerds have either seen or participated in. "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" is the song everyone agrees to sing along to in the car, "Delovely" is the cutesy song you try to sing with your SO, and "Buddy Beware" is the go to comical song we all know and love.

5) Hamilton

Of course, how could I make this list without a shout out to the biggest show on Broadway. If you don't know Hamilton, you better pretend you do. People will constantly burst into this soundtrack if they hear anyone say "Sir", "Shot", "Look Around", "Satisfied" or any combination of words commonly said during this show.

Of course there are many other popular musicals it seems like everyone love stop sing along to, but starting with these five is a perfect way to immerse yourself into the world of Broadway.
