1. When you go into a theater, you instinctively look up to make sure the chandelier won't come crashing down.
2. Not only do you know what a "Jekkie" is, you may have been one.
3. "You Gotta Have Heart", but "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."
4. You know that "Mama Mia!" has been playing there for the longest time now, but whenever you walk past the Wintergarden you still expect to see two feline eyes on the marquee.
5. You're convinced Harvey Fierstein will win the 2003 Tony, you're just not sure whether it will be for best actor in a musical -- or best actress.
6. "Mammy" sounds better in Chinese.
7. You "get" all the jokes in "Forbidden Broadway."
8. Your ten year old dresses up in a black leotard and a derby hat, and wonders why no one appreciates Bob Fosse anymore.
9. You think Bernadette Peters is absolutely adorable.
10. You spontaneously break out into a song and dance routine whenever someone hands you a cue.
11. When you hear the quote "Musical comedy -- the two most glorious words in the English language" you simply have to agree.
12. You're annoyed with Cameron MacIntosh for cutting five minutes out of "Les Miz"; how could he do a thing like that?
And most of all, when you're sitting in the theater, playbill in hand, and the house lights go down and the music starts, there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
