A BroadwayWorld Guide to Clubhouse

Have you heard of the Clubhouse app? The exclusive audio drop-in app has a large musical theatre following, with performances, interviews, and more.

Wondering how to get involved in the conversation? We're here to help explain how to join in on the action!

What is Clubhouse?

Clubhouse is an invite-only space for casual, drop-in audio conversations-with friends and other interesting people around the world. Go online anytime to chat with the people you follow, or hop in as a listener and hear what others are talking about.

How do I join?

Users must be invited onto the mobile app from someone who already has an account. The app is only available on iPhone.

Can I listen to events afterwards?

At this time, Clubhouse does not save any recordings of conversations. You must tune in live as they are happening.

What is happening on the Clubhouse app?

Not only are there chats with industry professionals, but musicals are happening too! Back in February, the musical Dreamgirls was performed on the app by big Broadway and West End names including Marisha Wallace, Raena White, Alex Newell, Jelani Remy, Nick Rashad Burroughs, Christina Raé, Tickwanya Jones, Angel White, Liyah Orielle, Gerald Caesar, and more.

We spoke to the event's creator, Leroy Church, about the project. When asked, "are you at all worried that it won't be consumed by as many people as it could, with Clubhouse being invite-only?" Leroy's response was:

"I'm not worried about Clubhouse being an invite-only app and it not being received by as many people as it could. People waited for years for Hamilton. It is my objective to enrich the Clubhouse community by adding art. Art changes people and save lives. You can also phone a friend and share the experience if you don't have one."
