It doesn't stop at Tituss Burgess.

7 Times Theatre Nerds Got To Geek Out Watching Kimmy Schmidt

Theatre kids don't get that many chances to fangirl over their celebrities. I mean, you say start gushing over Barrett Wilbert Weed's performance on Jimmy Fallon to one of your friends and they just turn up the volume on Drake's new album. To catch a glimpse of your favorites, you either have to get up at 6 AM to get in the line for rush tickets, or you drop $150 to spend only two hours seeing them in all their glory.

Then, Kimmy Schmidt comes along. And finally, theatre geeks could see the people they through elbows to get a picture with at the stage door over and over again. For however much Netflix costs nowadays.

Here are seven performances that made every theatre kid drop their phone while they were watching Kimmy Schmidt.

1. Daveed Diggs

Probably the most famous of the bunch, Tituss Burgess excluded of course. Hamilton brought so many new people into the Broadway-loving community. So this one goes out to all of you who love "theatre," aka Hamilton is the only show you can name besides Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera.

2. James Monroe Iglehart.

Tony-Award winning Genie. Who better to play Titus's archenemy?

3. Jefferson Mays

Winner of all the awards except the Tony for his performance in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. Best known for rocking any kind of hat, which is probably why he's sporting such a nice top hat here.

4. Nic Rouleau

I have been in love with Nic Rouleau since I was 14 years old. Sorry Andrew Rannells, but Nic will always be MY Elder Price. His smile could solve world hunger.

5. Derek Klena

You loved to hate him in Dogfight...but you just loved him in Wicked and Anastasia. You probably didn't even notice that one of Broadway's hottest "It Boys" was one of Kimmy Schmidt's hottest messes on the most recent season.

6. Bob Lenzi

This is a really obscure one, but I couldn't pass him by. Bob Lenzi was in the ensemble of Dogfight (swoon) and originated the role of Miles in the short-lived but STUNNING Tuck Everlasting. If you spend 5 minutes of your life on Tuck Everlasting, listen to "Time." Then you'll fall in love.

7. Drew Gehling

SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. Drew Gehling is the zaddy of Broadway. And apparently, always typecast as the guy who cheats on his wife. Nerdy hot for the win.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
