Shows I’d Like To See As Live TV Musicals

April 3, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Like most of the Broadway community, I was pretty hyped up about NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar this week. And it was good! I’m hoping they film all musicals as concerts from here on out. I really enjoyed it (and I’ve never seen JCS before – what?). There are so many musicals I’d like to see them put on as live TV specials, that I think they could do something really special with. Here are just a few:

Broadway Shows I Can’t Wait To See

There are a lot of upcoming Broadway shows that I’m anticipating (I have so many trips to plan!). Here are just a few of them:

Why I Think Game of Thrones Would Make an Interesting Musical

January 16, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Here me out! I think Game of Thrones would be an amazing musical (I might be going through Game of Thrones withdrawal). I know that all of the Game of Thrones musicals out there are parodies, and there are WAAAAAAY too many movie-based musicals out there now, but I think Game of Thrones, particularly the first book/series, could potentially soar above the rest (with the right writers, of course). Here’s why:

Top 5 Best Disney Stage Musicals (according to me)

July 13, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

So this is going to be my last blog for a few weeks (I’ll be back). I’m leaving for vacation in a week, and things are going to be hectic. Feel free to follow me over on Twitter (@edohertyauthor) for all of the vacation fun.

Where am I going, you ask? DISNEY WORLD. It’s pretty much my favorite place, and I am insanely excited.

So for today’s blog, I thought that I would rank my five favorite Disney stage musicals. For the record, I love them all. But these ones hold special places in my heart. (NOTE: I have NOT seen all of these on Broadway. In fact, most of them have been regional productions or national tours.)

Oscar Winners as Broadway Performers

February 28, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Do you ever envision Hollywood’s top movies as musicals? And then picture your favorite Broadway actors and actresses in the lead roles? No? Just me? Well, okay then. It’s a fun, sometimes infuriating habit I have. This year, I thought I’d share who I would cast in the inevitable Broadway musicals of the winning movies. So without further ado, the winning Oscar performances, cast for Broadway musicals.

Beauty and the Beast: A Broadway Dreamcast

February 14, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

I’m going to do something a little bit different this time. This is going to be the first in my series of Broadway dreamcasts. I love Broadway, and I love dreamcasting, so I figure this is a perfect fit. Today’s dreamcast is Beauty and the Beast. I saw a touring production of it back when I was in junior high school, but more importantly, the movie happens to be my favorite. With all of the hubub about the remake, I thought I’d cast my dream Broadway performers in the roles I picture them in.

Best Broadway Overtures

December 20, 2016 / elizabethdohertyauthor

For my inaugural post on my new website, I decided I would talk about overtures. Overtures set the tone for the movie or the musical or whatever, just like I am (hoping) this post sets the tone for this website. Maybe. I don’t know. So I present to you: My favorite musical overtures (just three this time, no order, because I know there will be more).

#Broadway: What I Saw And Loved November 2016

November 16, 2016 / elizabethdohertyauthor

I got to New York City a few times a year (lucky me!) to get last minute tickets to however many shows I can in whatever time I have. I’ve been doing this a long time and have seen dozens of Broadway and off-Broadway shows. Last week, I made a journey there, where I caught three wonderful shows.
