There are hundreds of great blogs that are dedicated to the musical
theatre industry. A lot of the information I blog about, I read it on the
theatre blogs I follow first. I decided to feature a couple of my
favorite blogs in this post. My two favorite theatre blogs are
Theatermania.com and Broadwayworld.com. If you are a theatre lover
or just looking for information on a particular show, you should check out
these two blogs first.
Broadwayworld.com is a blog that provides highlights, news,
and updates of Broadway, Off-Broadway, and community theatre. They
are headquartered in New York, NY, but feature performances all over the
world. They provide information on new musicals, ticket sales, show
reviews, and tour schedules. Broadwayworld.com is owned by Wisdom Digital Media
Publishing. In November of last year, Wisdom
Digital Media announced that they were planning to launch 10
new spinoff entertainment sites with a focus on movies, television, books,
fashion, music, dance, opera, comedy, classical music, and
art. Broadwayworld.com (BWW) is continuously expanding their brand
and branching out into other industries as well.
Theatermania.com was
founded in 2009 in New York, NY. A lot like Broadwayworld.com, it is a
great blog that features news, reviews, and interviews about the musical
theatre industry. Even though they have a musical theatre focus, they
also provide information on ballet, opera, and children’s theatre performances
as well. You can also purchase tickets in major cities through this site.
Theatremania and Broadwayworld both have established social media
accounts on twitter, Facebook, Pintrest, LinkedIn and Tumbler. They also
have mobile apps that can be downloaded for easy access on mobile
devices. Both blogs ranked top 10 in the theatre category on invesp.com.
BroadwayWorld.com ranked 1st place with a site score of
100. Theatermania.com ranked 10th place,
with a site score of 96.86. I have subscribed to both of these
blogs, have their mobile apps, and receive their newsletters. I have
researched and subscribed to many theatre industry blogs, but in my opinion,
Theatremania and Broadwayworld are two of the best.
