why fans of these shows are problematic
The Band’s Visit: they will spin every Lazy Susan they ever pass no matter how inappropriate the situation
Be More Chill: they don’t know how to say “Japan” normally
The Book of Mormon: you absolutely cannot ring a doorbell in their vicinity
Dear Evan Hansen: 90% of all the people they love are named either Ben or Michael
Falsettos: they speak in cryptic chess metaphors
Hamilton: they know impressively precise historical dates, but they always say them in weird voices
Les Misérables: they think every bread joke is about them
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: you can never tell if they’re quoting a song lyric or if they’re just talking because the lyrics they quote never rhyme
Next to Normal: they think pole dancing for your grieving mother is an acceptable thing to do
Newsies: they’re always getting bizarre injuries that they refuse to explain
Rent: they might jump on the table at any time. Also, you absolutely cannot ask them a) who died and b) how many minutes there are in a year.
Spring Awakening: they are either spouting poetry or communicating exclusively in expletives. There is no in between.
Waitress: they will steal your best apron and run off with it to perform a heart-wrenching musical number
