As a companion to the book, here is an audio-visual chapter by chapter journey through our year on Broadway. New pictures will be added weekly! So come back often!

Lyric Challenge!!

In the original version of One Year on Broadway, I began each chapter with a carefully selected quote from different musicals that fit with the theme of each chapter. Each of these musicals had touched our hearts through our journey and this was my way to pay tribute to them. They lyrical quotes didn’t make it to the final version of the book but I am including the links to these songs in this “Photos, Videos, Links” section. I want to give you a little challenge. After reading each chapter, click on the corresponding chapter link, listen to the song I provide, and see if you can figure out which lyric I chose to express the mood and comment in the comment box. If you get it right I’ll send you some One Year on Broadway swag!

In Chapter 2, we travel back in time to 1992 to see the original Once on This Island national tour, which performed at Michigan State University where we were college students. We had no idea at the time but this was the beginning of our journey to Broadway. Here is a clip of the original cast performing on stage at the Tony Awards in 1991 where it had been nominated for Best Musical alongside Miss Saigon, The Secret Garden, and The Will Rogers Follies-the winner that year.
