In short: don’t let the reviews discourage you from experiencing “The Prom”. I didn’t, and I think I’m a much happier person because of it. It might have even added a few years to my life.

All of the excitement got me thinking of other musical adaptations I would love to see, and with the help of my theatre friends.

2020 has been quite the rollercoaster ride, huh?

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, meaning it’s basically Christmas. Time to hang up the decorations and crank the stereo to 11 as we listen to our favorite Christmas songs.

Movie musicals dona??t always translate well from stage to screen, mostly because it is difficult to recreate the magic of a live stage production on camera.

For quite some time now, there has been talk of a big screen adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, and in the last several weeks many details have come out about the film and who we can expect to see bring the nervous teenager and his friends from the stage to the screen.

For the past several months, Zoom has been an excellent way for educators to continue to teach to their students during the pandemic. Ita??s also been a great way to communicate with friends you havena??t seen since you were all told you couldna??t return to school.

The start of a new school year is officially upon us, bringing to an end this weird, long and drawn out period of online schooling.

This pandemic hasna??t just affected Broadway. Ita??s postponed and even cancelled performances nationwide. Community theaters had to close their doors.

Did you ever see the video of the cast of Be More Chill finding out they were going to Broadway? That's how we felt.
