Favorite Stories:

  • Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
  • Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
  • Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
  • Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.
  • Next On Stage - Working on this project and having the opportunity to spotlight so many talented young people from around the country has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

Neil Patrick Harris Gives Hollywood Advice in Entertainment Weekly
September 22, 2011

Broadway favorite Neil Patrick Harris is featured in this week's edition of Entertainment Weekly, wher e he gives his own list of Hollywood survival avice. Harris writes, 'I was very musical at a young age. So much so that Churchill Cooke, our elementary school band and choir director, let me teach parts in the choir when I was in the fourth grade. First I played the xylophone, then marimba, cymbals, French horn, bassoon - I became a sort of jack-of-all-trades. It's a mindset that I think never really left me. Mr. Cooke would say, 'We need an oboe part for this piece, Neil. Learn oboe.' And I would say, 'Sure, Mr. Cooke. Who needs friends?'
