My Top 10 Theatre Youtubers |
I've watched a bit of Katherine Steele too. Another YouTuber who should be mentioned is GreatBroadwayFan (aka Luke)

I've never seen Luke's videos pop up in my recommended, but will have to check him out! Not knowing about people is probably the #1 reason they're not on the list. #2 being it's only my top 10, not everyone that I watch. Thanks. :-]
Your welcome. I'm subscribed to his channel. He doesn't do theatre reviews yet but talks about the latest TV musicals and movie reviews. Last Saturday he did a Wicked movie dream cast
Another one is Musical Hell. It's a review channel framed as a low-level demon being tasked with reviewing the worst musical films of all time. The woman behind it is really funny, and also does a series called Know The Score, where she talks about good musicals.

XxJessWorldxX stopped posting videos a while ago but his new podcasts are great.
Kevin Lynch and Musical Theatre Mash are my jam tho
I am a huge fan of MTM!! He has such a great way of explaining things and is gut-bustingly hilarious at the sane time (it doesn't hurt that we have basically identical tastes though). While I don't know if it counts strictly as Broadway, but I absolutely adore Randy Rainbow as well. Seeing a new parody from him always makes my day :)
In addition to YouTube there are several podcasts that are really entertaining and quite informative; the hosts are very knowledgeable about OBC recordings (both past and present); they also review current productions, not only Broadway but local productions and even the UK/West End...
- Broadway Radio: This Week On Broadway - Peter Filichia (and others ?)
- The Poddest Couple - Matt Tamanini - lots of fun and current "theater going-ons"
- The National Theatre Podcast - (I'm hoping they will do "Angels In America" soon).
- Masterworks Broadway - also w/Peter Filichia - great reviews, also with discussions of current, classic, and hard-to-find or unusual recordings.
There are more but I tend to go to these first...learn and enjoy!

Of the OP's list, my faves are probably Katherine, mostly because I can tell she's pretty intelligent, though her target seems to be theatre newbies, which isn't my thing, but I like Kat's demeanor, humor, and wit :)
My other favorite is Tommy, aka MTM...in fact he's probably my favorite on this list because he's SUPER intelligent, and he's one of very few YT'ers that I continually say to myself, "I WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND!" He looks at things from a dramaturgy perspective which I've discovered over the years I've been doing and didn't even know it at the time. He's incredibly detailed without being overbearing because he sees the detail but knows how those the details fit into the larger picture of a show which is basically what dramaturgy is all about, and knows that writing, show flow/structure, and thematic vision/direction are half, if not almost all of what make a show good to begin with, and I've found myself agreeing with just about EVERYTHING he's ever said, with super minor things being the one I didn't agree with. He gets art is largely subjective, but there's a still a decent degree of objectivity to it, but STILL acknowledges that it's not a perfect science, and somehow things work just because...they DO. Who knows why, they just do. And yes, he's witty and hilarious at the same time. I think just want BE him come to think of it.
I'll just mention Kevin seems to be an acquired taste. I like him to a degree, but can only take him in doses. He doesn't "hate musical theatre" so to speak. If he did, he wouldn't be vlogging He just hates what the world of MT has become which I 1000% understand. It's just his style that can turn people off, I've seen people seem to either hate him or love him. But by and large I can agree with much of what he says.
Hey all, I'd like to remind that this post is meant to bring awareness to you of youtubers you haven't heard of. I'm so glad some people have taken to listing a few of their faves and agreeing or disagreeing with my original post, but let's not forget to give some of the smaller guys a fighting chance!
DoubleDReviews and Broadway Bitches and Kevin Lynch and Musical Theatre Mash. Nothing else compares.
I really liked musical theatre mash's videos as he has this ability to make any musical sound exciting!
Shameless plug but I just recently started a theatre reviewing/NYC lifestyle channel!
I'd appreciate any support :)

Kevin Lynch is the worst. Shrill and nasty. He's a talented pianist. That's the only positive thing I can come up with about him.
