Typically those who attempt to take their group of friends into theatre, completely ruining the experience for everyone trying to have a good time. These kids will normally have their head stuck so far up the director's butt that they can see the light on the other side. Said kids usually have god complexes of themselves, think they're obviously superior, and spend the majority of their time worrying about how to show their body on stage instead of their acting.
Phil: Hey, I was thinking about trying out for the next play, do you know if i'll need to memorize a monologue?
Karen: Um, DUH. Idiot.
Phil: Sheesh, Stuck-up theatre kid. Just forget it.

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.

A drama kid who instead of memorizing lines or showtunes, reads plays and musicals to come up with set designs and or "lighting designs"; usually wears black (everywhere! including socks and shoes); thinks that the three most important things in life are:
1.) Flashlight
2.) multi-tool
3.) crescent wrench
Constantly complaining about grimlins stealing random objects from the theatre. Knows the difference between "theater" and "theatre"; and where it's acceptable to use each! Are tired of the actors standing in the way of scene changes...MOVE Dang it! Knows the difference between a "follow spot" and a "spot light"; Smart off and they'll turn your light off; Knows TONS of knots; Can fix anything with gaff tape; WILL cut somebody; are not the actors' babysitters, but WILL discipline them; Never say "good luck" only "merde" and "break a leg". They survive on four things:
1.) Caffeine
2.) Nicotene (18+)
3.) Sugar
4.) Alcohol (+21)
Knows numbers for all colors. AND Finds it frustrating to define themselves on Urban Dictionary.
FIN.

You're not a musical theatre kid if you aren't sure whether or not you'll going to broadway. You are always at rehearsal and can never hang out with anyone. Haha jk, if you are a true musical theatre kid, your only friends are musical theatre kids. You cannot sport for your life. You are the one at the party that doesn't know that popular rap song because you only listen to musical theatre songs. Haha tricked you again; you don't go to parties, you're always at rehersal.
You take Singing, Dancing and Acting lessons and pay way to much for all three.
