In the last ten years there have been countless new shows including such major hits as Sweeney Todd, Rock of Ages, Fun Home, and Jersey Boys.
Broadway shows have often been based off books, movies, and other shows although not all shows are based off something else. Many successful broadway shows are known as original shows, meaning that they are made purely for the stage and are not made from any other previous idea. Some original musicals of the last ten years include American Idiot, [title of show], and If/Then, among others.
Every year the American Theatre Wing awards various Tony Awards for shows on Broadway and the casts and crews. Awards such as best musical, Best actor in a leading role in a play, best actor in a leading role in a musical, best book, best lyrics, and many others.
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the off-broadway musical Avenue Q which debuted on Broadway in 2003 (yes it’s outside of the last decade but who cares) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
“I really liked it” said Rachel Harbert, 18, who saw Avenue Q on Saturday October 24 “It was very enjoyable until someone poured alcohol on me”
Many shows such as Avenue Q start out off-broadway and then after some time of being successful, they move up to the broadway level. Musicals such as Avenue Q will even win Tony awards after moving up to the Broadway level.
These are just a few examples of shows that have been on Broadway and What has been happening on Broadway. For a complete list of shows as well as ticket sales for shows on Broadway and off-broadway at any time just go to Broadway.com.
