A night on the town in New York City often starts or culminates with a Broadway show. Whether it's Mama Mia!, Spamalot, The Lion King, or The Phantom of The Opera, Broadway offers entertainment options for all ages.

While theatre-goers often receive a copy of Playbill containing actor, theatre, production staff, and musical number information, these unfortunately may become lost or misplaced. If you've enjoyed a Broadway show and just can't remember who played the lead role or what was the name of the catchy tune in the second act, such information may be found at the Internet Broadway Database.

The IBDB contains a wealth of information about Broadway shows, including:

* Theatre name(s) where show is/was held
* Awards and nominations
* Songs played in the production
* Opening night production credits
* Opening night cast
* Links to the show's Internet websites

To find your desired show, IBDB contains detailed search engines, letting you search for shows, people, theatres, characters, awards, and songs.
