My name is Hayley Martini and I am so stoked to be a new student blogger here in Broadway World! I am a sophomore musical theater major at the University of Central Oklahoma.

BWW Blog: Why Some Broadway Shows Never Lose Their Sparkby Student Blogger: Selena Newton - October 31, 2018Whenever a show celebrates one more year on Broadway, I get really excited.

Some shows make it and some shows don't. BWW Blog: A Twist on THE TEMPESTby Student Blogger: Annelise Wardwell - October 30, 2018Welcome back to week two of my blog, fellow thespians.
