Also you can see if anyone saw the same show you did....so.....ya you can do what ever you wnat with that information. Also if you havent voted vote.

When I was in NYC for my spring break I took a walking/food tasting tour. It was lots of fun! The one thing they told us was that the difference between broadway, off broadway, and off off broadway was the number of seats in the theater. I believe broadway has 500 to 1000(?) seats, off broadway has 100 to 499 seats, and off off broadway has under 99 seats. I would check the numbers because I'm in the right range but not sure about the exact numbers. This means that off off broadway, off broadway, and broadway shows have nothing to do with where the theater is located. Not all broadway theaters are on broadway street and not all theaters on broadway street are broadway theaters. I just thought that would be a fun fact for you to put up that not many people would know about. As our tour guide was saying the info I thought of you and your blog. And again, I would check on those facts and numbers for exact anwsers

alright I think that there is such a thing as a Broadway committee where people pitch ideas from an old movie (The Lion King) or a brand new idea (13. the show about teenagers) to become a broadway show. They pitch the idea of how they are going to do the show, as in the set and the comstumes and what they are looking for in the actors. Then people on the committee vote or decide on what idea they are going to go with. Its basically like a sales pitch but in my oppinon, way more fun. I'm pretty positive thats how htey do it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

and thanks Mrs. B

As we all know a beloved actress has died in this past week. her name was Natasha Richardson. Most of you know her as the "good" mother in the Parent Trap in 1998. But she did so much more. And she did many more Broadway shows then movies. She loved the stage more than the set and she and she liked to be in a live performance instead of a cut one. On Thursday night, March 19 2009, before the Broadway stage opened up for their show they dimmed the lights for her and expressed dearest sympathy for the family. It is a tragedy but all we can do is honor her memory and remember her in the highest respect. Natasha Richardson.

the newest broadway shows are Marry Poppins, The Lion King and the Little Mermaid. But, you can see tons of other Broadway shows right here in your home town. The show itself doesn't have to be on broadway for you to see a broadway show. it is a Broadway show once it is preformed on Broadway. From then on it is known as a Broadway Show

new fact: in The Little Mermaid the cast used Heelies or roller blades to move across the satge to make it look like they where gliding under water

Em saw Billy Elliot when she was in London and she said it was pretty fantastic
Also to others-
I added a link thats sets you up to buy broadway tickets to any running show and also another link so you can check out the longest running shows on Broadway.
(the longest is Phantom of the Opera obviously. great movie too if you havent seen it. I watched it till 4:30am on youtube one time it was awsome!)

maddie said: sometimes criminals are secretly looking out for the better nature of others. I absolutely love Wicked, its my favorite Broadway play. Thanks to that criminal i got to see the first act and experience the amazingness of the Broadway scenery and performers. I have never seen Billy Elliot but i would like to. Do you know if it is good or not?

You can watch all of act one of Wicked on one of my videos! some guy illeagly taped it and he did a pretty fine job. I love people without a good sense of right and wrong! and just a random fact, I saw that cast in this particualr Wicked play the second time I saw it!
(I don't have act two but I'm sure you can find it on youtube)

I fixed it! at like midnight but thats ok! anyway now there are pictures and vidoes and a poll and I will keep you updated on newest broadway shows and try to maybe get a link to buy broadway tickets. Wouldn't that be cool. I know I would love that. That particular act would make that particular blog my favorite one ever so....
