| I think a good one is to only use acronym for current running shows. I usually spell one word to clue people in like flowerDS | |

| I don’t think if I used DRS or TLS or ABT it would be that simple to figure out right away what musical I was referring to. | |

| Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Last Ship, A Bronx Tale. It took me about 30 minutes to figure these acronyms out. IMO to make communication on the board easier, acronyms should not be used for play or musical titles unless the title is repeated in the post. | |

| as the self-appointed guardian of that maxim, let me say that before I use an acronym I scrutinize the title for a word that will do. So I find TKAM abhorrent, since Mockingbird works just fine. MFL works for me because you can't really call it by any of the words and make sense. Fiddler is of course immediately understandable although I seem to recall someone referring to it as FOTR and that caused me a some fierce agita. Flower Drum Song, I am pretty sure I have never had occasion to type before now. | |
