Calling all showtunes fans!


A celebration and testament to an art form beloved by gays (and maybe a few others), MasterworksBroadway.com is "where show tunes take center stage."

The site preserves the history of music from the “Great White Way” providing a comprehensive experience for the Broadway community and its fans with a catalog of more than 400 Broadway cast recordings, hundreds of never-before-seen photos, videos ('Glee's' Matthew Morrison sings 'Younger Than Springtime' from 'South Pacific' above) and podcasts with Broadway notables like Stephen Sondheim, Bernadette Peters, and Angela Lansbury.

On the launch date of April 1st, MasterworksBroadway.com will begin the “You Gotta Get A Gimmick” sweepstakes during which time the site will give away a daily prize.

Some of the extraordinary prizes include: A trip for two to NYC to see a Broadway show, the entire Masterworks Broadway catalog (over 275 CDs), signed copies of Kristin Chenoweth’s book “A Little Bit Wicked” and her latest CD “A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas,” and a rare framed pigment print of Gwen Verdon from the Sony Music archives/ICON Collectibles. New prizes will continue to be announced throughout the month. Visitors can enter the daily drawing by visiting MasterworksBroadway.com and signing up for free membership.
