Scene Change 3

Bidding Notable Creatives a fond farewell.

Before we say “Goodbye Old Girl” to our third playlist, I wanted to name the Notable Creatives that we covered. Add these to the folks introduced in Turning Points and Songs Everybody Should Know, and you’re well on your way to being a Broadway expert.

Is It Covered By The Rat Pack, Audra McDonald, or Glee?

One of my favorite parts of this process is making these Venn diagrams, even if I’m really sweating about fitting 60 more names on one of them.

In The Wings

It’s crazy to think that it’s been 13 months since I started this newsletter! A special round of applause for the 65 or so of you who have been along for the journey this whole time! But I also want to give a shoutout to more recent followers—thanks for finding me! I also want to express sincere gratitude for anyone who has shared or recommended 100Showtunes (which is ever so easy and fun to do!).

I’ll announce the theme for Playlist IV next week and reveal song No. 41 the following week. Until then, keep marching on.

Catch up with all the songs to date!
