The plan was to move to New York City, get into a Broadway show, and find a composer to finish my musical. No, not your plan, mine. Oh, it was yours too? Well, you'll appreciate this: only the first thing happened, and that remains true more than seven years on.

As I walked into the theatre, I eyed the swirling pink frosé machine. “No, no,” I mutter to myself. “No need to get college-coed tipsy. I shall review this ice-cold sober.”  And wonder of wonders, I actually enjoyed the show!

Every theatre lover has their favorite musicals for various reasons starting from the music to the dance numbers to their favorite actors or actresses playing a character in a show on Broadway. Whatever the reason, we always have certain shows that we gravitate towards or soundtracks that we just can’t stop listening to on our commutes to work. Through my years of being an audience member or actually working on a show, I’ve formulated a list of wide ranged musical productions that I like to call my top ten list.

We’ve seen some interesting casting controversies in Australia over the past couple of years. However, the most recent issue seems to be over the fact that a lead role went to an American actor over a local Australian.

In the last few years I’ve noticed an explosion of Broadway musicals making their way to the big screen. And not as an adaption the way they tease us with Wicked or In The Heights. I’m talking about filming the Broadway (or West End) production in the theater, live, the way it is meant to be seen. And then releasing it in cinemas for those of us who couldn’t make it to NYC/London in time or who want to relive the magic all over again. Now I’m saying, “release the DVD!” If it’s on film, it could and needs to be released in DVD form. Here’s why.

For theatre fans in the U.K. hoping for their own version of BrodwayCon, news broke last week that they’re going to have to keep waiting.

It was announced that the country’s first ever “StageCon” would be postponed until sometime in 2019. The reason? Backlash over the prices of tickets.

The year 1918 was a good one for culture: it gave us Leonard Bernstein, honored with an exhibit at the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts earlier this year, and also Jerome Robbins, born October 11th of that year, the current subject of such an exhibit, and the namesake of southern border of Lincoln Center Plaza, 62nd Street. Last spring, the library celebrated Robbins's centennial with "Robbins At Night," projecting images of Robbins and his work on the ground just outside its front door from 7pm to 1am, images that sparkled not just with Robbins's creativity but with the reflective specks embedded in the ground of the plaza.

Hi There, I’m Devin Tupler. I’m a working actress specializing in Shakespeare and musical theater (but mostly Shakespeare…I love Shakespeare). Right now, I’m working with an off-off-Broadway theater company here in New York City...but before I made the great leap to Manhattan, I grew up in the sweltering heat of South Florida.

While many within the Kent State University theatre community were excited about the possibility of performing the iconic West Side Story this fall, unfortunately, their hopes have been dashed. This past week it was announced that due to the backlash of casting non-Latinx performers in Latinx roles, theatre administrators decided to cancel the production and perform a different musical instead.

This isn’t click bait. I’m actually asking this question seriously. I’ve seen plenty of instances of children appearing in Broadway productions but I’ve never heard of a live baby being cast in a show, until now.
