  • HEY LOOK! A LIST OF 5 AMAZING LESSER KNOWN BROADWAY AND OFF BROADWAY MUSICALS!
    (aka my top favorite underrated shows)!
    Like I mention in the vid, if you're a theatre nerd like me (or if you're a super member of the #TheatreThursdayFam 🎉💕🎭) then you probably have heard me mention these shows on my channel. They might not be as well known as some others, but they're still fantastic and really interesting. They're also great sources to find audition songs from!
    🎭 Theatre Educational video playlist HERE!
    • Let's Talk about Broad...
    If you're new to my channel, HI! I'm Katherine and I put out a new theatre related video on every #TheatreThursday plus bonus uploads throughout the week! My videos cover a variety of topics include musical theatre / acting advice, theatre actor lifestyle, performance reviews, and general broadway geekery. Additionally, I make usual RUclipsr videos, but with a slight theatre-y twist.

      +Katherine Steele mkay so I'm auditioning for the role of rafiki in the lion king (it's a school production) and I was talking with a few of my freinds and people I know. and we were sharing what role we were auditioning for. and I said rafiki (obviously ) and they seriously said. oh. you won't get it. now this is coming directly frk. me supporting them on the roles that they wanted. saying that they are really talented and will get the part for sure. and they told me about this girl aleda..... she had been bragging and saying that she would get the role because she was a close family friend to our music teacher (and play directors) "favorite" I really would like for you to make a video about auditioning with people telling you you won't get it or casting by favorite or preferences. also I love your channel and your content and my top five musicals would have to be (this is extremely general as its hard to pick)
      - falsettos / in trousers
      - my fair lady
      - Sweeny todd
      - legally blonde
      - the book of mormon

    Hey Katherine! (and fellow Theatre Thursday Fam members.) Something *crazy* happened to me the other day and I thought I would share it with you guys. I recently went to see the UK tour of Legally Blonde with my friends (who are also in theatre.) We took our seats and there were 2 young men sitting behind us, but we didn't pay much attention to them. We love Legally Blonde the musical, so of course we were applauding after every number, talking about how good the cast were during the interval, and we even gave them a standing ovation at the end, as did many other people. After the curtains closed and we were gathering our stuff to leave, one of the guys behind us tapped me on the shoulder. He said he was actually the Director of the show, and he was impressed by our enthusiasm and love for the show and he wanted to INTRODUCE US TO THE CAST? What? How? Long story short, me and my friends fan girling ended up allowing us to meet everyone and get a picture with them. They were all so sweet too. I still can't believe that happened, it's like it's all a crazy dream. Anyway, story over, I just thought that would be a fun theatre story to tell. :)

      This is amazing I love this! One time I was at a chorus line when they revived it probably 2006-2007 and Sara Jessica Parker/ Mathew Broderick were sitting like two rows up from me. I almost died. Being a fashion major I’ve always idolized her. Funny tho you’d think Matthew would have been the one recognized in a theater but it was definitely SJP everyone recoginzed. Matthew Broderick was so cute protecting her tho. Not as cool as your moment but still cool

    My current favourite musical is one that I only just discovered a few days ago but have listened to countless times already!
    "Daddy Long Legs" is such a beautiful story and I was shocked to learn that so few people know about it! I've definitely decided to listen to more obscure broadway musicals now, in hopes of finding more like it! ☺️

    I have a musical that I've seen a few different productions of online but still haven't really seen anyone else talk about anywhere: The Dolls of New Albion. Written by Paul Shapera, it's the first in a trilogy of musicals, the other two being New Albion Radio Hour and New Albion Guide to Analog Consciousness. But Dolls is a steampunk opera that takes place over four generations of the McAllister family in the fictional city of New Albion. It's a shockingly short musical at barely over an hour long, but has four distinct acts, each one being a different generation. I won't go over anything past the first act to avoid spoilers, but here's my summary.
    The show begins with the Narrator, Kate, introducing the audience to the city of New Albion, and bring in the first character, Annabel McAllister, who's raising the dead in her lab. Annabel sings about her experiments with death and her desire to bring back her former lover, and eventually succeeds, putting his soul into a metal doll. In the next song, Kate tries to get Annabel to listen to her doll, Jasper, as he begs her to send him back to the afterlife, and when Annabel hears what he's saying to her, she destroys the doll and sets him free again. Over time, Annabel finds a husband and has a son named Edgar, leading into act two.
    I'd love if this musical got more attention, it's one of my favourites and the whole trilogy is super interesting. Like I said, there's official releases of a few different productions here on RUclips, so it's an easy watch from home.

    One of my favorite lesser know musicals is A New Brain. It’s black humor at its finest by one of my favorite composers William Finn. It also has a great cast including Jonathan Groff and Christian Borle. In the same vein I feel like Falsettos isn’t as talked about as it should be (also composed by William Finn)

    Lazarus is my absolute favorite unknown musical. Absolutely beautiful show, great cast, and fantastic songs. David Bowie did a great job at choosing what songs to put in the show
