The Bands of Broadway
Throughout its history, Broadway has seen many bands on the boards. Probably the most famous is the River City marching band, led by Harold Hill in The Music Man. Bands of all shapes and sizes have been seen on the stages of the theater district. This week we celebrate some of the most recent, including one from the current season.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Hedwig's back up band, The Angry Inch, doesn't say much of anything, but it would be difficult to imagine this show without them! Hard rocking and super supportive, Hedwig needs them as much as we do.
School of Rock
Child prodigies as part of the story, played by child prodigies are the perfect Broadway storm! It was exciting to watch and even better to listen to. Led by their teacher to rock and roll glory, these kids stole the show/

Stereophonic
With this band, we got to see how they made a record and much more. A lot more. Like a Behind the Music documentary, but much darker, we got to see what made these rock geniuses tick, warts and all. We were captivated for the entire time. Plus, we got some pretty good tunes to play over and over, too!
The Band's Visit
A story about how music brings strangers together, the lessons learned from this beautiful musical resonate as much today as ever. Getting to know these men and how they became community almost instantly was heart-warming and inspiring. And the music? Sublime!
The Lost Boys
Broadway's newest rockers, this boy band is dark, hard-edge and brooding. They sound great...just the kind of music your parents warned you was dangerous. The perfect way to gather a fan base...and victims. One might even say their music is...biting.
