It's called the INTERNATIONAL database, but all of the shows are for UK, Australia, US, and Canada. Are there plans to expand it for other countries, because I have almost all of the info for international "Rent", "Wicked", "Cats", "Les Miserables", and "The Phantom of the Opera".

We're happy to accept all information, just use the submission system linked throughout the database.

As we're still improving our system, it might be easier to submit info for productions not already listed via email or PM.

You can send info to [e-mail].

Thanks!

What about separating their workshops and actually Broadway productions? For example, Kristin's lists her reading the workshop for Young Frankenstein, but she's not in the Broadway show. It might confuse some casual observer who doesn't read too closely that she was in YF.

This is great! And you've set it up very well.

I'm also glad to see you're open to submissions and added information. That should keep the site growing and improving for years to come. It's one of the complaints I had with IBDB.com. You basically had to be blessed by the Pope before you could submit anything. I had info for them, but didn't want to jump through all the hurdles to get it implemented. Way too much trouble and not worth that much effort.

But this is different and better!

Congratulations. This is a great asset; all the information in one place.

SO ... will you all be accepting regional productions as well? That would make for a HUGE and extremely useful database.

I'd love the addition of awards database info.

BAD LOCATION FOR SEARCH BOX

This is the main tool. It should not be hidden in the dashboard. Its also confusing there because that is where the user is used to seeing the general search tool -- but this is something very different.

I would 1.) Label it as "database search" to differentiate it from the other search and 2.) Place it dead center on the page (beneath the black masterhead but above the "Playing on Broadway/off-Broadway area.

thanks a lot for this helpful resource!

on the "opened today" section of today (feb 23) it lists Shrek the musical (2007). obviousely, the reading shouldn't be listed as the opening date. just to let you guys know...

Sounds like a great idea, but am I the only one who cannot connect to it?!?!?!
EDIT: I got on and that is really cool!!! Updated On: 2/23/08 at 09:27 AM

Is there going to be a search feature where you can see all musicals that opened in a certain season, or in a certain year?

Also, will there be a way to search recordings only?

Has nothing to do with the database. The issue is being worked on though :)

I just got around to looking at it and it's a definite wow.

Posted: 3/2/08 at 8:27pm

Thanks for the good word Craig. So far it seems to be better today.
