We keep track of our live Musical (and other) Theatre experiences here. Also, our Musical concerts. We love the musical theatre. It's mainly for our own use in remembering and keeping track of each experience. See the list of shows that I've seen but long forgot the dates, etc. Our goal is to see as many smaller productions in our travels that time and money permit.
