what do audiences do if we want innovative theatre? don’t require shows to go to Broadway to get your attention! lots of fantastic, innovative productions never make it to Broadway or are even just not designed for it. support your local regional theatres!

Incredible presentation piecing together beautiful graphics, clips, music, words, and thoughts. The subject matter was a given. Well done, Kevin.

Loved the video! But I have to say that I don't agree with not including Hadestown with the "original musicals". It fits perfectly in, what I believe, what we're looking for in terms of being a original, innovative and objectively good (great even!) musical.
