Here's a thread where everyone can help everyone else out!

If you know of a website, book or some other media that would help out the theatre student or actor -post it!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

http://www.musicalheaven.com - has a synopsis for almost every musical plus the dates it ran and the songs included.

The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology -A Collection of Songs from the musical stage, categorized by voice type. The selections are presented in their authentic settings, excerpted from the original vocal scores. You can find it on Amazon. -Awesome book to find auditions songs in since almost every song fits the specified voice type!

I guess I'll add some more since no one else has...

http://www.ibdb.com - Internet Broadway Database.

http://www.hamienet.com/cat1.html - Downloadable Broadway midis. (great for practicing songs and to use for performances when no accompianist is available)

http://www.talentmatch.com - Upload audio clips, profile, resume, pictures and video for free! Restrictions without subscription (you can't view how many hits your page has had, can't send a portfolio out when a director requests it, You can only upload 5 pics, 3 audio and 3 videos. I'm sure there are others...) I use it as a supplement for my resume.

Oh, I feel bad. I'll attempt to be helpful here. Musicals.net has forums that are sometimes helpful. Campusdirt.com has some good inside info on colelges if you want to check stuff about them out and how people who go there think they are...

came across this site today!

http://www.playdatabase.com

"We felt that the world needed a free service to help theatre lovers find plays to produce and monologues to memorize without any favoritism to a specific publisher, popular opinion, or price. And thus playdatabase.com was born.

playdatabase.com is the largest database of plays and monologues on the internet that can be searched realistically -- not just by title or author, but by the parameters that count -- cast size, length, synopsis, and more. We are also the only site that goes beyond the basics, providing guidelines to potential directors, trivia for the curious theatergoer, and biographical information about the various playwrights."
