Hey everyone!

First BroadwayWorld.com and BroadwayWorld.TV went supersized. Now, BroadwayWorld continues to pioneer and utilize the latest in web technologies to bring its visitors as close to theatrical magic as possible with MEGASIZED videos. Beginning February 3rd, all videos will be shown at a higher resolution than anywhere else on the net as we push the limits of streaming video technology.

BroadwayWorld.com has the most comprehensive video coverage of broadway on the web and is pleased to present via "state of the art" streaming video: show highlights, interviews, special programming, behind-the-scenes and makings of, Broadway Beat - the premier and award-winning half hour television program covering theatre, music and performers as well as That's Kentertainment hosted by Ken Kleiber. So sit back, relax and see why BIGGER is indeed better!

All this without increasing download times for you too!

-Craig

I love it. I just watched the Producers ad with Tony Danza with this feature and it is mega-cool (forgive the pun). Quick question (keep in mind I don't follow the Producers, but I do know some this and thats): So the poster they show in the beginning and at the end of said video says "Tony Danza and Hunter Foster" but in the video, Roger Bart is Leo. I know Hunter was (is?) Leo, but someone please inform me. Was it a mistake on the poster, are my eyes deceiving me, or did they not have Hunter Foster videos with Danza?

You will never graduate if you keep basing your math on showtunes." "You ruin Broadway for me." "As well I should."

Congrats, Craig. You folks really aredoing a swell job. Broadway has needed this site for decades (imagine a version in the 60's: you on the corner of 46th and Broadway projecting the black-and-white 16mm footage on a wall while Margo, Captn, Sean and the others babbled, fought and murmured. With Richard handing out mimeo'd versions of his show.)

You do realize your just contributing to the obesity epidemic in this country, don’t you? For shame.

What was that instrumental orchestration during the Producers clip montage? I'd love just the audio track!
