Cool Musical Sites

  • Blue Gobo
    A site featuring TV clips from hundreds of Broadway shows. Great stuff.
  • Broadway Box
    An uber-site for ticket discounts. Very useful, indeed.
  • Broadway Stars
    A neat daily roundup of top theater stories. (Doesn't hurt that they include my blog. ::cough cough::)

  • Did He Like It?

  • Dress Circle
    The shop to visit when you're in London. And, depending on the exchange rate, a great place to find foreign cast recordings.

  • Sound Advice
    Talkin' Broadway's list of upcoming cast recordings, books, and DVDs. Updated very regularly.
  • Sound of Music
    Great source of foreign cast albums. Slow service, but, hey, they're shipping this stuff from Germany.

  • Theater Mania
    Lots of great info on shows and theater people. Plus reviews and ticket discounts.

10 Musicals That Changed Broadway - And Other Posts

PnbSo, the new semester at The Boston Conservatory has officially begun. Now I get to see how well I'm going to be able to keep up with my posts on About.com, my reviews of the new Broadway and Off-Broadway seasons, and the inevitable mountain of papers to grade. Stay tuned. 

Here are my most recent posts for About.com. They've proven very popular on the site, particularly the ones on classic musicals and musicals that changed Broadway. Let me know what you think.

Musicals You Should See

  • A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
    A wonderfully witty and tuneful little show, with a superb cast
  • After Midnight
    A rollicking good time, full of high spirits, fabulous dancing, and classic songs
  • Avenue Q
    The original "little show that could." Funny and fresh. Now playing Off-Broadway at the New World Stages.
  • Beautiful
    A good jukebox musical? No. A great jukebox musical. Great songs, real people, and terrific performances
  • Matilda
    Tremendous fun, with stronger stagecraft, finer performances, a bigger heart, and heartier laughs than any other musical this season
  • Once
    Heartfelt and powerful. Makes you believe again in the power of theater that focuses on people, not spectacle.
  • The Book of Mormon
    Uproariously enjoyable. Profoundly profane, but also surprisingly sweet.
  • The Bridges of Madison County
    A stunning show, with a ravishing score, and two knock-out performances at the center
  • The Fantasticks
    A timeless little gem of a show with a universal message.
  • Wicked
    I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love Wicked. Sure, it's a spectacle, but it's got a brain and a heart, too.
