You can network with other users, view the latest news, features and photos from the BroadwayWorld.com news team, post on ‘message-boards’ and more.
BroadwayWorld.com is the most complete online resource about not only what is on Broadway, but also what is going on behind the scenes, who is grossing what and who is casting for which part. With online social networks such as MySpace taking over the web, founder Robert Diamond wanted to create a similar community for Broadway fans, but without the negative drawbacks of other networking sites.

What you will experience is an online resource with a specific target and well-organized message boards.
Showcial is divided by regions, shows and performers, ranging from San Francisco to the West End of London, Angela Lansbury to Michael Crawford and from EVITA to Pippin.? The student-board is filled with calls for auditions as well as tricks of the trade. In addition to discussions about everything happening in theatre today, those on the boards give advice on topics such as “how to cure a sore throat” and suggestions on how to pose for the best headshots.?
