13 Signs You Are A Musical Theatre Nerd

This is for all my Broadway-bound, Hamilton-obsessed, microphone-hogging musical theatre nerds out there! You are a special group of people full of passion, talent, and energy. You are very quirky and sometimes also quite loud. But nonetheless, you are all stars! If you are reading this and feel as though you may be an undiagnosed musical theatre nerd, browse this list and see if you have experienced any of the following symptoms.


1. You don't just sing in the shower... you perform!

"I'd just like to take a moment and thank everyone here tonight within earshot of this bathroom. This one's for you."


2. Your idea of a ~fire~ mixtape is The Hamilton Mixtape.

Come on! It features Chance the Rapper, Wiz Khalifa, Ashanti, John Legend, Usher, and LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA of course!


3. Your music library consists of dozens (if not hundreds) of Original Broadway Cast Recordings.

You probably have playlists of all your favorite shows too.


4. You have accumulated quite the collection of Playbills and ticket stubs!

They're either on display for the world to see or in a thick stack in the depths of your room.


5. You can finish this phrase: "Pop... Six... Squish..."

You can also name what show it comes from and identify the characters that sing this iconic number.


6. And you know the proper response to the question, "What's your name, man?" is not, in fact, your actual name.

The correct answer is: ALEXANDER HAMILTON!


7. You own enough sheet music to wallpaper the entire interior of your house.

And probably a few other houses, to be honest.


8. You belt your favorite songs every time you drive by yourself.

Sometimes you take longer routes or park and wait in your car just to finish listening to or singing a song.


9. Your brain is an encyclopedia of song lyrics.

You're such a pro that you can casually work lyrics and references in to just about any conversation.


10. You have a list of dream roles you're dying to play.

And chances are, that list grows with every show you see!


11. You annoy your non-theatre friends with your constant singing and show references.

And when they ask you to stop, you kindly tell them not to rain on your parade. Then you laugh and start singing again.


12. You are crazy about stage dooring!

It's all about getting the perfect spot AND having at least one sharpie on hand!


13. You would willingly dedicate your existence to the theatre.

If home is where the heart is, then your home is on stage. You live and breathe theatre and would have no problem doing it forever. Your heart and soul are present in every moving piece of theatre you encounter.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
