<\/div>

You freak out just a little bit.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Your collection of leg warmers and dance wear grows\u00a0significantly overnight.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You research the show whenever you\u2019ve got a break.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You listen to the soundtrack over and over and over again.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You blast that soundtrack in the car like you\u2019re singing carpool karaoke with James Corden.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Your friends interrupt your mid-rehearsal Snapchat with\u00a0musical numbers.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Your shower serenades last 20 minutes.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

When you go out to eat with the cast, you sing numbers from the show.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You are #FIT\u00a0when dance rehearsals start.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You dream about the show.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

…or have\u00a0nightmares about it.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

But you just can’t wait for opening night.<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
