Haunted by children and controlled by her husband, Yerma’s awakening ends in an unspeakable crime of passion and revenge.

 BroadwayWorld Celebrates 16th Anniversary!
BroadwayWorld Celebrates 16th Anniversary!
May 6, 2019

Back in 2003, BroadwayWorld launched as a modest, Broadway-only 'fan site' devoted to New York theatre. Created by Robert Diamond, the site had one goal- to bring together his dual passions for technology and the arts. Early features consisted primarily of message boards, the first theatre fans' choice awards, and a content aggregator, but from there, the site grew quickly and before long, we were generating original content, ramping up with writers and photographers and expanding constantly and consistently while embracing, and exploiting the latest technologies, social media, video, and more!
