Anxiety is something that many people deal with in the world. Whether you have an anxiety disorder or not, going to a Broadway show can cause some people to get nervous

This past week I had the chance to take a day trip to New York City.

If you're a fan of Broadway, you've probably heard of the famous 'Cookies of Broadway,' created by a bakery known as Schmackary's.

This might be the most negative article that I have written, but ita??s because I have strong thoughts on how media can affect child development. 

Dianaa??s release on Netflix is unique because it is going to be on the streaming site before its opening night in 2021.

Actor Nick Westrate (Turn: Washingtona??s Spies, Bernhardt/Hamlet) wrote a free article for The Daily Beast entitled a?oeAmerican Theater Workers Urgently Need Financial Help. The Government Must Step In.'

As the decades have gone by, Broadway has continued to develop and change along with the rest of the world.

I miss you. Please come back soon.

Ultimately, TikTok has become a place where theatre kids can express themselves and share their love for theatre while shows are shut down around the world.

The Sound of Music has been a part of my life for many years. When I was younger, I played a?oeEdelweissa?? as a piano duet with my grandmother.

Dear Grantaire, When I first read Les Misérables at the age of 14, I have to admit that you were not my favorite character.

When I first heard of a?oeCome From Awaya??, it was in the fall of 2016, nearly four years ago. My parents and I were visiting Washington D.C. and my task was to find a show to watch on one of the nights we were free.

As there are many guests visiting from English-speaking places in the world like the United States and the United Kingdom, Disneyland Paris has the task of making sure that they have entertainment that can be understood by both French-speaking and English-speaking guests.

When creating a musical, there are many places that one can draw inspiration from. Some, like Lin-Manuel Miranda, read a book and are determined to see the story play out on stage. Others take the songs of others and create a plot around them, like the music of ABBA in Mamma Mia. A few are even able to conjure up entire worlds out of their minds. But one of the more popular forms of media to be adapted in the past few years has been the world of cinema.

Since the day that the theaters in New York closed, I've felt a little emptiness in my heart. Not seeing the actors I follow on social media getting ready for shows that day, was a strange experience as I'd grown so used to it over these past few years. Looking at photos of the Theater District in Manhattan felt like looking at a ghost town, with only a few people wandering around outside and no sign of the usual buzzing energy.

Whenever I take a trip across the Channel from France to England, seeing a show (or two or three) is always one of my top priorities. Unfortunately, tickets for shows on the West End (or even just around London in general) tend to be expensive and out of my price range, especially as a university student. But fortunately, I have found some tricks that enable me to see shows at relatively low prices. Today, I'm going to be discussing how to get tickets for West End shows for a student budget.

As any student with a tight budget knows, one of the main goals when seeing a show is to try to get a seat that is cheap yet allows me to still see at least 50% of the stage. I tend to spend my mornings in London waiting in line at the box office in the hopes of getting a cheap ticket with a relatively good view for the price.
