Summer Stages: Long Island Spring/Summer 2017 Preview

Spring is in the air and that means a hopping theatre scene is in full force on Long Island. For the past almost six years, I've truly enjoyed traveling the Island to tell you about the amazing shows and extraordinary talent that we have. This year will be no different as I am incredibly happy and proud to welcome Jaime, Anthony, and Nick to the BroadwayWorld team and we are beyond excited to bring you even more coverage of the Long Island theatre scene. Below are just some of my picks for this season (to be honest, I'd have listed every show if I could!) and soon to follow will be the picks for Jaime, Anthony, and Nick. Cheers!
