Guided Tour of a Broadway Dressing Room!

Here is a captioned video of Idina Menzel (of WICKED fame) giving a tour of her dressing room at the Gershwin Theatre in New York. Ever wonder what they look like? Now is your chance to see!

Also, we are in the process of adding captions to the feature-length documentary (titled "Show Business: The Road to Broadway".) chronicling the road to Broadway for four productions: TABOO, CAROLINE, OR CHANGE, AVENUE Q and WICKED. The reason why we are doing this manually is that the original DVD from 2005 did not support either closed-captioning or subtitles and a failed attempt to contact the producers only fueled our desire to make this VERY informative documentary accessible to Broadway fans. Stay tuned for updates!

On a postive note, we have recieved confirmation that Disney's Broadway on YouTube channel is in the process of adding captioning to all of its 32 videos (including THE LION KING, MARY POPPINS and THE LITTLE MERMAID). We will announce when they post their first captioned video! (As soon as they do that, the total of captioned Broadway-related media on YouTube will jump from 65 to 97!)

Now, for the video-tour!
