Composers, Lyricists, et Creative People

The Really Useful(less)Group
Andrew Lloyd Webber's production company--info about his shows, a place to buy all things Webber, current ALW news, and a fun and friendly bulletin board for Postin'!

Sondheim, Sondheim, Sondheim!
The greatest living lyricist? You be the judge! Explore Sondheim's shows, puzzles, discography, and even a Sondheim geek code. This page is for anyone who knows the words to the Prologue of The Frogs or for those who have a vague idea that "Send in the Clowns" is not by that Lloyd Webber guy....

Alan Menken--A Disney kinda guy
The only Alan Menken page on the web?? How can that be!! Menken encouraged the world by giving usLittle Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now, encourage Lee in his pursuit to give the world all things Menken!

The Tony Awards!
Controversial for the first time in a long time...Remember last year? Here you can check out who's nominated, who was NOT, and post your own opinions. And don't forget to watch the awards--June 12th--with Nathan Lane hosting.

Musical Theatre Homepage A good reference start. Yeah, when you get there, you think, "How boring!", but the site contains song lists and CD covers to many, many shows. So, if you can't remember where "A Secretary is not a Toy" is from or which act it appears in, this site will clear you up in a jiffy.

INDIVIDUAL SHOWS

EVITA
En Espanol and English. Madonna photos and general hoopla about the upcoming movie, as well as a place to post your interpretations of "Peron's Latest Flame."

Jekyll and Hyde
The (eventually) coming to Broadway musical that has been touring the country. Pegged as a "musical thriller", it's about that guy with the really bad split personality--or is it all just a metaphor for drug use? Robert Louis was on cocaine when he was writing it. Hmm.....

Elisabeth
A German musical, that has been running some 4 years in Vienna. It's the story of the murdered Empress of Austria/Hungary who married Franz Josef. The show has been compared to Evita in its look at a historical leader. I just think it rocks!

Les Miserables
A Christian ex-con, a frat boy named Grantaire, and a sexy, misunderstood policeman called < Javert.

ASSASSINS
Proof of Stephen Sondheim's genius. This page is little more than a sum-up of the linear notes of the CD, but at least there's an ASSASSINS page out there!

PLAYS AND PLAYWRIGHTS

Samuel Beckett
I've only been in one real play in my life, Endgame by Sammy here. Ever since then, though, I've been religated to stage manager. I don't know if I'm bitter at Sam or very thankful....

Tom Stoppard
Stoppard. He's the man. We're doing The Real Inspector Hound this semester at my lovely college. As if we needed proof that Stoppard is just beyond us all.

William Shakespeare
I have to have a link to the Dead White Guy. Here he is.

Check out this information on my new favorite Shakespeare play, Richard the Third , in performance

August Strindberg
He hated Ibsen. Ibsen made him bitter. In fact, everything Strindberg wrote was to combat everything Ibsen wrote. Do you have to love this guy or what???

Jean Baptiste Moliere
IN FRENCH! This page is everything you want to know about Moliere, the great French playwright. Beware if you don't speak French.

David Henry Hwang
He almost got Miss Saigon banned. And M. Butterfly is a dang fine play.

Or return to my home page, you wuss!!
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
With Disney's newest villian--Claude Frollo!
