The First Post!

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!

Top 10 Nicest Broadway Actors I’ve Met at the Stage Door

At face value, the stage door of a theatre is the official entrance and exit for actors, crew, musicians, etc. However, the stage door has become more than that for theatre fans everywhere. At the conclusion of a performance, fans gather outside the stage door to wait for cast members willing to sign autographs and take selfies. The act of "stage dooring" is a fun pastime for the modern theatre fan. I've been stage dooring shows for many years and have had the pleasure of meeting some really wonderful Broadway performers I admire. To kick off my new Top 10 series, I've decided to compile a list of who I think are the nicest Broadway actors I've met at the stage door (in no particular order): ALEX BRIGHTMAN   I first became an Alex Brightman fan after he blew me away in School of Rock . I wasn't able to meet him after the show, but many months later I found myself back to see the show for a second time. Between the two times I sa...

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Drains Your Savings?

I, like most of the theatre world, am completely captivated by the new Broadway superhit Hamilton . I have listened to the cast recording on repeat nonstop for the last several months. I know every word to every song. The cast members have all become celebrities in my house. I am also extremely lucky to have seen Hamilton, and it completely blew me away and exceeded every expectation. I also luckily only paid $57 for my ticket. That sentence usually is greeted with gasps, dropped jaws, and “HOOOOOWWWW?!” That kind of price for this show is completely unheard of these days. If you buy a Hamilton ticket face value, the cheapest you can get is $139. StubHub and Ticketmaster Resale is filled with people re-selling their tickets for as much as $1,500 or more PER TICKET. Why are people doing this? Because people are so desperate to see the show that they will pay 10x the original ticket cost to see it! This alone is where our problem lies and created the whole reason why I am ...

Top 10 Favorite Broadway Performances I've Seen (Play)

Over the years and through the dozens upon dozens of shows I've been lucky enough to see, I've seen some wonderful actors give fantastic and memorable performances. For my next Top 10 installment,  I've decided to rank my favorite Broadway performances I've seen. To make this feat a little less overwhelming, I am splitting up these rankings and making two lists: one for plays and one for musicals. It was still difficult to narrow down so many excellent performances, but without further ado, here we go! Nathan Lane in It's Only a Play photo by Sarah Krulwich From his iconic voice to his impeccable comedic timing, Nathan Lane is one of Broadway and Hollywood's best. Seeing him in It's Only a Play  in 2014 was unforgettable. From the minute he uttered his first line, there was a special buzz that rippled through the audience. It was as if we knew we were about to witness greatness. Mr. Lane exceeded every high expectation I could have possibly imagin...
