Welcome to the BroadwayWorld International Database - Beta Edition!

The BWIDB is the largest theatre database on the net, covering Broadway and beyond. Quite literally - the whole world of theatre.

We've launched this beta version of the BWIDB already including over 75,000 performers and over 12,000 productions. Those 12,000+ productions were presented in more than 1300 theatres and in over 150 cities! But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We are actively increasing the size and scope of this database to ensure that it's your #1 resource for the history of theatre.

Please bear with us as we continue to collect and verify new and existing information within the database. We encourage you to contribute - just use the easy submission forms located throughout the site.

Happy Exploring!

  QUICK POLL
For the benefit of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Equus star Daniel Radcliffe will be auctioning off the jeans he wears in the show after matinee performances on November 22, 29 and December 6. What do you think?
Fun! And for a good cause!
Not exactly my thing, but it's for a good cause.
Fine, as long as the winner isn't too creepy.
Way inappropriate, even if it is for a good cause.
