What is BroadwayCon, you ask? You know in The Big Bang Theory when Sheldon & co dress up like comic book characters and go to ComicCon? This is the exact same thing, except everyone is dressed up as either Alexander Hamilton, Jack Kelly, or Elphaba. Today marks the first day of the first-ever BroadwayCon, and if you're not one of the lucky few who are in NYC heading to the convention right now, you may be feeling like life pretty much sucks. All week, Playbill.com has been posting articles to help convention attendees make the most of their weekend, but what about the rest of us stuck in the cold, huh? Don't we deserve some love even if we can't be there? This post is for you, you poor unfortunate souls. (Heh heh. See what I did there? No? Okay. Moving on.)

HELLO WORLD! Look at me, I made a blog. I won't go through introducing myself, because my audience consists of my friends and family who have been saying for years, "you should write a theatre blog!" So hey guys. Ask and ye shall receive. I have a few ideas as to what I will write about, so hopefully over time I will find my voice on here. I think it will be fun! This is a platform where I can say all I want about the theatre scene and my poor family won't have to endure dozens of screenshots per day of the latest Broadway.com article. So, here we go! Hit like, or subscribe, or follow or whatever you people do on this website. My first post should be coming later today!
