Welcome! The purpose of this thread is to talk about all things related to the wonderful world of musical theatre. Each week I will post a thread with a topic/question for everyone to respond to. This is also a great place to mention any new musicals you’ve discovered and/or general recommendations for other musical fans. Heard/seen any good shows lately? Have any theatre news to share? Tell us about it!

I don’t have time to write anything of substance today, and so this week’s question is very general: Do you have any theatre-related news to share? Seen any shows lately?

Personally, I don’t have anything interesting to report. But I was wondering if anyone has seen the commercials for some new show on NBC called Rise. I saw a bunch of commercials for it during the Olympics, and I really can’t figure out what it is, but it seems to be musical-related. Does anyone know anything about this?

Here’s a commericial I found on YouTube:

Is this Glee?
