Any show on Broadway that was once a television show, movie, book, video game, or CD. In essence, fake Broadway- non original shows that have the plot already spelled out for them. Examples include The Addams Family, Shrek The Musical, Legally Blonde The Musical, Elf... There are however, exceptions to this rule, such as Spamalot, The Odd Couple, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Also, a person who thinks that shows like Wicked, In The Heights, and anything produced by Disney are the only worthwhile things on the Great White Way. People like them make me want to lock myself in a room with an original cast album of Lippa's The Wild Party and drown my sorrows to Idina Menzel's power mix as Kate and never come out for fear to see what the theatergoing public has turned into.
Fraudway Girl: Oh my God! I just saw Wicked this weekend! Kristin Chenoweth is MY idol!
Real Theater Person: (Singing a snippet of cut song 'Which Way's To The Party?)
Fraudway Girl: What are you singing?
Real Theater Person: Which Way's To The Party?
Fraudway Girl: Oh. Uh, what show is that from?
Real Theater Person: Wicked.
Fraudway Girl: No it's not.
Real Theater Person: Yes it is. They cut it out of town. Stephen Schwartz thought it didn't work with the storyline.
Fraudway Girl: Oh.
Real Theater Person: Excuse me, I have to go get my sheet music for Parade. Carolee is MY idol.
Fraudway Girl: Huh?

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

Musicals performed in settings other than broadway, but that are still awesome in their own right!
Movie musicals (Moulin Rouge), TV Shows that have a musical episode (Scrubs), internet musicals (Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog)
