Step 2: College Boys: Theatre Level

Alright ladies (and gentlemen) , this one is for you. Raise your hand if your heart melts at any of the following: 

~Guys who are musically gifted and are not afraid to be in theatre 

~Gentlemen 

~One and Two combined. 

Odds are, you are falling in love with a theatre hot-shot. Let's face the facts, everyone adores a guy who can sing Phantom of the Opera without a problem. Anyone who says otherwise is lying because those notes are dead serious. 

There are two types of theatre hot-shots that I have noticed. 

1. The Confident Jazz Square Perfection: 

-Typically is casted as the male lead of any production because not only is he good at what he does, but everyone loves him for it. Traits include a cocky attitude, an overwhelming diva persona during tech week, a great way of giving  compliments and dishing out insults and a sense of knowing when to flirt with someone in order to get what they want. All the cast members love this guy and the only people who don't are ones who have had a bad run-in with him. 

Unfortunately if you fall for this one, it's likely to end in a big mess and a pile of ice cream. Try as you might, you'll never be able to truly dislike this guy because his talent and knee-buckling smile constantly sweep you off your feet. 

2. The Sarcastic Goof-Off God: 

-Typically known as the guy everyone hears mouthing off everyone backstage. No, he's not classified as a "douche" because everything he says is not only funny, but true! Usually the supporting male role that everyone pays an excessive amount of attention to. Traits include a knowledge in the language of sarcasm, an incredibly smart way of snagging girls with a pity party, and has an A+ in giving hugs. The director especially loves this guy because of his tendency to make everyone laugh while somehow knowing all of his lines. 

If you fall for this one, good luck. 

I'm pretty positive that everyone falls for both of these at some point in time at rehearsal. I have, unfortunately, found myself attached to both kinds of hot-shots. Currently I'm in a lovely situation with #2. Let's call him Draco (yes, as in Malfoy) because that boy is so hard to understand and if we have any StarKid fans, you'll understand why I have him classified as a number two and is under the name Draco. 

There'll be more info on Draco later on, but I'm about to be late to my next class. But before I go, I would like to know if you have had any run-ins with these hot-shots? Or maybe you've found a third classification? Shoot me a comment below and we can chit-chat about it.
