Life on 221B Broadway: Musical Stream Festivities!
I have a friend who isn’t very familiar with the theatre world but wishes to be, so it’s been my goal this summer to expose him to as many shows as possible! As a result, since he lives too far away to meet up and watch, I have been streaming all these shows for him, and decided to schedule them ahead of time and share for other theatre friends out there! Come join us!
Click here or check my page come showtime for a link to the stream.

What are some good (easy) Broadway trivia questions?
So far I have:
- Norbert Leo Butz played the leading man Fiyero in what popular broadway musical?
- What is the title of the “sequel” to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera?”
- What famous redheaded actress most often frequents Stephen Sondheim shows?
- What show took the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2011?
- The Book of Mormon was written by the same men who created what popular adult cartoon?
Please suggest more!
****(I understand that these are ungodly simple - but people who don’t know theatre will still possibly have difficulty with them, and that is the crowd they are mostly going to. I’m trying to still make them do-able without people needing to use Google. However, if you think of more difficult ones, please do offer them!)****
Anonymous Asked: more pweaseeeee *puppy dog eyes*
Answer:I would love to, but I am super busy, working on two shows at the moment, and am fighting off pneumonia, so my brain is FRIED and I usually can’t remember references I make in daily life by the time I’m online. Please, though, submit, and I will happily make the graphics and post! Submissions can bring this back to life.. :)
