25 Musical Memes for Former Theater Kids Who Still Remember Every Lyric

If you ever did theater in high school, you know tech week was its own special form of h*ll. Everyone was sleep-deprived, running on vending machine snacks, and trying to remember whether the quick-change was supposed to happen stage left or stage right. The drama wasn't always left on the stage either, half the cast had probably cried at one point or another, the other half was taping broken props back together, and somehow, the show still went on.

For my former theater kids, these memes will hit differently because the memories are so specific. The smell of the dressing room hairspray, the stage crew dressed in all black like a secret society, the cast party pizza that always arrived an hour late. And of course, the musicals that defined entire eras: Wicked, Hamilton, Rent, Les Mis, and now newer hits like Six and Hadestown. If you know, you know.
