I am in love with the fact that this article made the green page!!! Twitter is a spectacular place on the Internet. One hundred and forty characters is just the perfect amount to express a thought or a sassy remark. I think that this is probably the perfect medium for the Broadway Celebrity community. This is because it allows the super stars to connect with their fans, but not have to put much thought into it. This is because when you only have one hundred and forty characters it is really hard to over think it. In other words, the character limit is also forces you as the user to keep it simple. Since joining twitter I have just become a much happier person because I can share all of my random thoughts with the world while not being annoying. It is also fun that people are constantly tweeting and what not. Its funny because a lot of times I will turn to twitter for the news!
Out of all the people on this list, I only currently follow Neil Patrick Harris (because he is perfection). But reading the highlighted tweets of these broadway personalities made me realize another thing I love about theater: how genuine people are. I've always found theater stars more real than a tv/movie star. And you can even see that in a tv/movie star who started in live theater. They are so much more genuine and welcoming. They're humor is much more down to earth, and they aren't afraid to look silly or crazy. There are a lot of actors who feel very stilted when they talk or post about something. Broadway actors, for some reason, just seem to be more connected with their fans. This might be because they are more accustomed to live performances versus filmed broadcasts. I'd be very interested to find out why the personalities differ so much.
