1. Being introduced to theatre

“Your friend is bestowing Pandora’s box on you.”

2. Slowly letting more and more musicals seep into your playlists

“You never realized just how many great musicals there are.”

3. Realize you’re singing entire musicals in the shower

“Nobody can leave a bad review of your super-private shower show.”

4. Frequently dropping musical references in normal conversation

“It’s so easy to drop Hamilton references everywhere.”

5. Deep dive stalk broadway actors social media

“Have to keep up to date with everything your favorite actors do and eat.”

6. Accept your fate and geek out on all things broadway

“Come to terms with this being your life now and you couldn’t be happier”
