Welcome to the BroadwayWorld International Database - Beta Edition!

The BWIDB is the largest theatre database on the net, covering Broadway and beyond. Quite literally - the whole world of theatre.

We've launched this beta version of the BWIDB already including over 75,000 performers and over 12,000 productions. Those 12,000+ productions were presented in more than 1300 theatres and in over 150 cities! But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We are actively increasing the size and scope of this database to ensure that it's your #1 resource for the history of theatre.

Please bear with us as we continue to collect and verify new and existing information within the database. We encourage you to contribute - just use the easy submission forms located throughout the site.

Happy Exploring!

  QUICK POLL
Three actors share the title role in Billy Elliot, alternating performances equally. How would you like to see the Tony Awards handle this unusual situation when it comes time to consider nomination eligibility? 11 comments
Since they each average less than three performances a week they should not be considered for any Tony honors.
If all three are considered deserving, they should receive a special honor.
If all three are considered deserving, they should receive a special Tony.
They should keep the eligibility rule as is and only consider the actor who performs on opening night for a nomination.
They should be eligible to share a nomination with a vote for one counting as a vote for all three.
They each should be eligible for separate nominations with voters required to see all nominated Billys.
I’ve got a better idea and will leave a comment.
