Welcome + My Broadway Experience

I would like to welcome you all to The Broadway Journal! I am not quite sure what I would specifically like to use this blog for, but I am going to write some reviews of the few Broadway shows I've seen, as well as recommendations, playlists, and also the latest news. I am excited to share this experience with you all, and sharing my great interest with the rest of the world since my friends have lost interest in me talking about all of this stuff.


  My first Broadway show was on June 8th, 2013. It was a choir field trip in the 8th grade. I didn't really want to go see a show, but I eventually gave in to trying it. The show we saw was Newsies, and I will admit I was a little hesitant to liking the show because after all it was Disney. I expected it to have a plot much like all the other Disney movies, where there's a whole love story with the whole plot put on the back burner. The show ended up being nothing like that at all, and I was in love by intermission. By the time I went home later that night I started looking up, videos of the cast performing and looking at Corey Cott's King of New York Vlog. Needless to say, the youtube recommendations would pop up for other shows and eventually led to me finding Laura Osnes' Princess Diaries. Eventually that led into Bonnie and Clyde (which took me a second to realize, Bonnie was played by the star of Cinderella and Clyde was played by the once star of Newsies). But anyways, instead of blabbing on and on I'll just leave you a master list of all my favorite musicals (although I do love them all)...

1. Newsies
2. Cinderella
3. Bonnie and Clyde
4. Heathers
5. The King and I
