Been really loving this hashtag going around twitter, and especially loving the tweets coming from broadway actors.

Here’s Patti Murins: https://twitter.com/pattimurin/status/1030232533387145217?s=21

Huh. What show is Murin referring to?

Here's some highlights! (Click the names to see the original tweets)

Alex Boniello: I got rejected from every acting program I auditioned for except Wagner, and then it took me 727 auditions (this is a real number and doesn’t count callbacks) before I made my broadway debut. 

Nicholas Barasch: Found out from a Playbill article that I was replaced from an incoming Broadway show after the director called me to say how excited they were to work with me. The show closed in less than 3 weeks.

Rory O'Malley: I was [CMU Drama] but didn’t get into their musical theater program, so I paid for voice lessons with a professor. 2 months in, the professor said a student was leaving so I was getting his spot! Wonder what ever happened to that guy? Someone named [Josh Groban]

Many of these are by writers regarding submissions. And some are kinda depressing...
