Musical Theatre Resources Online

The world wide web is growing in leaps and bounds. New sites are appearing in overwhelming numbers and surfing for information can be a daunting task at times. There are many great search engines and provided one has the time to spend exploring each and every match to a search on “musical theatre”, the internet offers sites for all of the following:

Tickets to shows

Lyrics to songs from specific shows

Individual show sites

Composer sites

Performer sites

Musical theatre education programs

Musical theatre books, videos and other resources.

Musical theatre memorabilia, apparel and gift items

Publisher sites

Theatres and musical theatre groups

Musical theatre history and genre information

and anything else you may wish to know.

Bookmarking favorite sites can also be a very time consuming activity so here at Performing and Writing Musical Theatre we’ve done it for you. Along with the links associated with this topic (which may be accessed by clicking links), these are some of our favorite musical theatre webstops.

VARIETY OF INFORMATION

1. Jill’s Musical theatre site: http://www.saintmarys.edu/~jhobgood/Jill...

2. The Definitive Musical Theatre Website: http://www.dmtw.co.uk

3. Starbound: http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/4131

4. Musical theatre Research Library: http://www.goodspeed.org/library/library...

5. http://dmoz.org/Arts/Performing_Arts/The... is probably the largest musical theatre directory online. If it’s not listed here, it’s probably not online. What’s especially appealing about this directory is that clicking on any show produces numerous website links.

These general sites all have one very big thing in common: TONS OF INFORMATION! Each site is divided into sections making specific information as easy as a click away.

Starbound’s website has a unique feature: Teach Yourself to…which includes links for singing, acting and dancing which lead to other websites as well as books and videos available online. For anyone interested in learning some of the performing arts, yet who may not have access to a qualified studio or teacher, these resources could prove invaluable.

TICKETS

http://www.broadway.com is the ultimate site for anyone interested in musical theatre. From purchasing tickets online to finding out the latest theatre buzz, Broadway.com keeps you informed. Check out their headlines and reviews and find out what’s up in the “big apple”.

http://www.nytix.com/ includes tickets to Broadway shows, television shows, New York City tours and so much more.
