Cutting Room Floor – The Art of Broadway Employment

Broadway is a job and like all jobs, it has to come to an end. However, there is a little bit more to the story in this case. Most jobs require you to apply via a form and normally an interview – whereas Broadway requires auditions, a measure of your talent where you have little […]

Into The Woods Movie Experience

by Maison Kelly There is no denying it, movie musicals have seen a huge revival recently. Yet, this genre still seems to be completely hit-or-miss in quality, and the movie production of a theatre goer’s favorite show offers no guarantees to meet his or her standards. While more light-hearted musicals, like Annie, are very difficult to […]

Annie Movie Viewing Experience

by Maison Kelly I have been an Annie super-fan since I was five-years-old. I have every single line memorized, and I could probably (definitely) sing even the overture in my sleep. I absolutely adore this show. So naturally, when I heard there was a modern update coming out in theaters, I was thrilled. And extremely nervous. Musicals being translated […]

After hearing about the show nonstop for the past week, I was excited to finally see […]

by Eric Gelb Flying in theatre is absolutely magical. Just imagine, as Mary Poppins sings her last few words as she lifts off the ground and into the haze-filled stage rafters. But imagine if she leaped off the lip of the stage and flew over the heads of the audience? That’s just what she did […]

Best Christmas Showtunes!

Christmas is fast approaching (6 days!), and we couldn’t be more excited! Lights adorn almost every building, holiday movies are always playing on television, and Christmas music is constantly on the radio! But, for the theatre lover, this presents the question: Should I actually be festive and listen to holiday music instead of showtunes all the […]

The Magic of a Broadway Theater

by Sami DeSocio There are few things that put a bigger smile on my face than the smile of walking into a Broadway theater. There’s just something about it, like walking into another time and another place. Some of these theaters have been around since the early 1900s (whether they be under a different name) […]
