How about:
-Your Stevie* is "Dancing Musical Encyclopedia", and the trophy is a picture frame with musical posters around the center.............all of which you know.
* The Stevies are the Stephens College Theatre Department's awards for the third-years (graduating or not).

Love the topic, but these are mostly very Broadway-centric. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but maybe those of us who are mainly focused on European musicals need to do our own list because most of the symptons will be rather different. I'll start with a couple.
- You have the hardest time writing the word "death" without a capital D. (Well, this doesn't apply to those who always call the character in Elisabeth "Der Tod" but I at least tend to call him by the word for "death" in whichever language I'm writing in.) - You find sponges incredibly hilarious.

The time I did the solo of Master of the House, well, let's just say that the peice of paper she gave me with the words on was never used, not even once and all the ytouth members stared at me with mouths open as I flawlessly sang it the first time. Obviously I had been singing it for months before hand due to the fact that it is my favourite song in Les Mis and my Dad's aunty had just bought me the DVD.

You can't hear the sound of the sea without starting to mutter a certain song that beggins with an "R" ;D

Stupid reflexes. -You had to edit it in the second point as well.

- German classes activate your inner jukebox. I had Rebecca songs playing in my head for days after we practiced pronounciation with the words 'Aschenbecher' and 'Boije'. -You reflexively spell Elisabeth with an "s" even though the usual spelling in your nation/language is with a "z" (Elizabeth). -When writing the above point you had to go back and edit the "z" into Elizabeth. Stupid reflexes. -You had to edit it in the second point as well. I have the same problem if I try to write the German word 'Krokodil'. Last time it took me three tries before the result wasn't closer to 'Krolock'.

-Whenever you meet someone called Rebecca, you begin to sing the song (and they're like: I've never heard this song before) -You seem to associate everything with a song from a musical and begin singing it much to your friend's annoyance

Wherever you may be! We know it was the Duke of Edinburgh who done you... Voices cry in the air everywhere! Diana! Come home Diana! lol I always thought this would be funny if Camilla was to duet this with Paul Burrel. Paul: Your Not meant to be a shadow of Diana!

when you phone a box office for theatre tickets and have to persuade them to sell you front row, because you know the seat is fine [even though they say it's restricted view]

- Your idea of "celebrities" means "musical actors", so when you're composing a list of "hottest celebrities" or "celebrity crushes" your list consists entirely of musical actors.
- You have no idea of the celebrities and gossip that is known to everyone in your country, but you do know which Hungarian musical actors are married to each other.
- You know the cast and track listing on all the released (European) Elisabeth recordings. (Admittedly, I probably can't spell all the Hungarian and Dutch song titles, but I know which songs they are, at least.)
- You are studying a foreign language because you want to understand the musicals in that language. (Two languages in my case.)
- You spend hundreds of euros to travel to another country to see your favourite musicals. Even when you are a poor student and can't really afford it.
- You regularly get musical characters or actors into your dreams.
- You use musical lyrics to learn German grammar. "Wenn ich tanzen will" is really good for remembering which prepositions need an accusative, for example, because there are lots of them there.
