+ and - of getting into these fandoms
The Book of Mormon: you get absolute bops, but if they get stuck in your head, you can’t sing them out loud.
Dear Evan Hansen: you get incredibly catchy songs, but you can’t listen to any of them in public without crying.
Falsettos: you get oddly beautiful lyrics, but also get an inappropriate urge to sing whenever you hear the word “hepatitis.”
Hamilton: you are so ready for American history class, but you can’t remember anything unless you rap it.
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: you get a unique and beautifully written show, but when you forget the lyrics, you’re lost forever because nothing rhymes.
Les Misérables: you get a huge selection of likable characters to get emotionally invested in, but they all die in the end.
Newsies: you get a professionally-filmed movie, but now, whenever you open Netflix, you literally can’t watch anything else.
Next to Normal: you get Alice Ripley and Aaron Tveit, but every time someone says their name is Gabriel, you get a terrible urge to respond, “Hi, Dad.”
Rent: you get a masterclass in songwriting and storytelling, but you become physically incapable of hearing the phrase “Who died?” without jumping on a table.
Spring Awakening: you get a high-impact and deeply relevant story, but when adults ask you what it’s about, you have no idea how to explain.
Tuck Everlasting: you get an unforgettable show, but you hit the bottom of the tag within ten minutes.
Waitress: you get to know so many underappreciated actresses, but every time you get attached to a Jenna, she leaves.
