Can't Miss Shows of the Spring Broadway Season
The Odyssey Online

This past fall season on Broadway was amazing and really groundbreaking, especially with the revolutionary musical Hamilton. Now, it is the beginning of the next half of the Broadway Tony season, which is usually filled with most of the contenders for the Tony Awards. Here is a quick guide of what to expect on the Great White Way and some mention of affordable Off-Broadway greats!

1. Waitress

This show has been anticipated for a few years now. It has an amazing composer and lyricist in Grammy winner Sara Bareilles and the direction of Tony award winner Diane Paulus. On top of that, it is the first show to have an all-female production team. It stars Tony award winner Jessie Mueller. Based on a cult classic film, this show is baked to perfection!

2. Tuck Everlasting

This is another show adapted from a movie (it's a trend this season) that has a real folk sound to the score, and it has also been buzzed about for a couple of years. Some great names in the cast (Carolee Carmello and Andrew Keenan-Bolger!!) It's a story for all ages and keeps you young forever!

3. American Psycho

Are we shocked? Another show based on a movie but this is coming from London so it has to be good right? There is a mini Next to Normal reunion in this show with Tony winner Alice Ripley and Jennifer Damiano, but it's another highly anticipated show of the spring season.

4. Fully Committed

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, returning to Broadway and playing over 40 roles! Sounds like One Man Two Guvnors all over again, but still a monumental piece of the spring season.

5. Long Day's Journey into the Night

Eugene O'Neill's classic autobiographical play starring Jessica Lange of American Horror Story. It has been a while since she has been on Broadway, along with some of the stars in the play. Check it out if you have a chance. (You also may see a familiar face at the merchandise booth)

Now some Off-Broadway gems:

6. Dear Evan Hansen

Ben Platt. Michael Grief. Pasek and Paul. ENOUGH SAID. Definitely Broadway bound.

7. The Woodsman

Hands down the best piece of non musical theatre I have seen since Curious Incident last season. You do NOT want to miss this.

8. The Robber Bridegroom


Steven Pasquale and a short fun musical, you do not want to miss!

Here are some suggestions for the spring season. Make sure you look out for them at the Tony's!

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
