not to sound mean or anything, but Tiny-Toon do you have an opinion on any show other than Brooklyn? I mean you have shilled for it left right and centre, and there is nothing wrong with you having an opinion...but i'd like to hear you say something other than about Brooklyn. I detest Cats and Phantom, but love Joseph and Evita. I love all sondheim, with the exception of Bounce. I try to vary the kinds of shows i see, and will talk about all of them.
Brooklyn overkill is just driving us all nuts

Tiny-Toon,

Just wish to comment about the design of your website:

The Good:

-It looks fantastic!
-Offers a wealth of information & entertainment.

The Bad:

-The font choice makes it hard to read. This turns me, and probably other users off, and I don't bother reading anything. I *strongly* recommend you change the font type to something more easily readible that isn't so hard on the eyes. The color is fine.

-Your Site has a lot of information, which is good...very good. It's "very" good because its actually useful information and not just "filler" info. Now the problem is how to present this information. Your menu on the left is LOOOOONG, and I am very glad that you have the up and down arrow option, instead of just a long list where you would need to scroll down on the page.

However, the up and down isn't good enough. It's still too much scrolling, and it gives users a sort of uncomfortable feeling. May I suggest a drop-down menu and divide your Site into sections: News, Media (pictures, video, wallpapers, downloads, etc.), Interact (newsletter, message boards, chatroom, etc.), About Brooklyn (the casts, the songs, the creative teams, buy tickets, etc.), and About Us (contact us, about us, site updates, etc.).


Just thought I would offer my advice. Good luck with the Site.

Tiny-Toon,

Just noticed something else on your website:

Your video section is a BIG no-no! What you are doing is serving the video from Broadway.com on your own website. This is called "hotlinking" which is Bandwidth Theft.

Essentially, you are stealing webspace/bandwidth that Broadway.com owns, and therefore are stealing their money.

This is illegal and they can take legal action.

I would *super strongly* that you do something else. Maybe make those hyperlinks link directly to the Broadway.com website and open in a seperate window?

Thank you VERY much CapnHook for your opinion.
And thank ponine24601!

Ohh.. and about the video, i know, i talked to them about it, and i'll change it to links for the videos on their website.
