In Episode 8 of the Take Me To The World Musical Theatre Podcast, two friends and I have a chat about musicals. Be prepared for a lot of giggling and nerding out about musicals. We discuss our least favourite song from our favourite musical, as well as our favourite song from our least favourite musical. I may or may not sing in this episode as well.

Resources – Websites and Apps

Reddit Musicals and Reddit Musical Theatre. Both subreddits are great places to learn about musicals, get tips (if you’re a performer), and to get recommendations on shows to check out.

Broadway Musical Home. This is a great website with a list of over 300 musicals. The Rights page has information on where to get the rights to put on a variety of musicals. Concord Theatricals and Musical Theatre International are the two main companies to license musicals.

Playbill has a listing for shows (musicals and plays) in New York, London and National Tours.

Today Tix has an App for both iOS and Android. You can use the app to buy cheap, same-day tickets for shows in several cities like New York, London, and more. I’ve used this app in London and highly recommend it.

Use the Code JGZYL to save £10 (or $10) on your first order with Today Tix.

Mamma Mia. This is the website where you can get tickets for various international productions of this musical.

The Who’s Tommy. There is a Broadway production for this musical slated to open sometime next year.
