Musical Memes For Broadway-Bound Theatre Kids Who are Still Singing Along to 'Newsies'

If you weren't a theatre kid in the 2010s, you should envy everybody who was. In my opinion, that was the golden age of theatre kid fandom on Tumblr, and now that stinkers like Be More Chill are no longer in style, the world is so much worse for it. Teens were obsessed with angsty musicals like Heather The Musical, Newsies, Carrie The Musical, Mean Girls The Musical, and, of course, Hamilton. Sure, millennials might have had Spring Awakening and Rent to rock out to, but they did not have Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson. Gen Z teenagers were passing around illegal recordings of Broadway shows like nobody's business and selling them to other teenagers at steep prices. Even though some musicals have become cult classics for youngsters in the 2020s (Ride The Cyclone), nothing will compare to those 2016 Hamilton days. If you miss the Broadway fandom, these musical theatre memes will bring you right back.
