Announcing the Seventh Broadway Bound Blogathon

Our second blogathon announcement of this week, and we’re gonna be back on Broadway, friends, for the seventh time. Oh muh word, can you believe it? I know this blogathon is a favorite with a lot of people and it’s one of mine too, especially since Broadway Bound is the first blogathon I ever hosted (see my Blogathons page here). Broadway has a lot of sentimental value, you know?

For those of you who are just joining us, the Broadway Bound Blogathon is when the blogging world talks about everything and anything concerning the Great White Way and Tinseltown. In a nutshell, it’s this:

• Films made by actors, writers, directors, songwriters, etc. who have worked in both Broadway and Hollywood,
• Biopics of Broadway performers,
• Movies made about Broadway,
• Movies made of Broadway shows,
• Movies made into Broadway shows.

The blogathon will take place from June fourteenth through June sixteenth, the latter of which, incidentally, is the day of this year’s Tonys broadcast. It’s all very neat, right?

So yeah, without further ado, here are…
