Noun: a person who loves musical theatre to the point of obsession over musicals and showtunes.
Musical theatre kids will likely stream and download showtunes more often than 'regular music' or songs by popular artists. They will often make musical references in everyday conversations, whether or not the person they are talking to recognizes it. They spent a good amount of time memorizing showtunes from their favorite musicals, and nothing will stop them from singing along once they do so. One must be careful when approaching a musical theatre kid, for even the most offhand comment can spark an immediate reaction that will usually comprise of a full performance of the show referenced. Many musical theatre kids find themselves constantly discovering new musicals, resulting in the pain they feel when being forced to choose their favorite. Common traits musical theatre kids share are creativity, determination, and freedom of expression.

Noun: A person who is obsessed with Hamilton: An American Musical
Warning: This is no ordinary obsession. Side effects include bursting out into song whenever someone unknowingly makes a Hamilton reference, bursting into tears in public because "It's Quiet Uptown" came up on shuffle, and being unable to count to nine in French without sobbing by the time you get to seven, to name a few.
