Does anyone know where to find long lists of plot summaries for a whole bunch of musicals? I find I really enjoy reading summaries because it gets me interested (or not interested) in the play and I go out and start searching for songs and clips.

Sometimes wikkipedia has plot summaries, but really it varies from show to show. Of course the more popular shows will have better pages. Go figure.

Here is something that I have been doing. Go to your public library and check out DVDs or VHS tapes of musicals. Even if you don't like them, you didn' t have to pay any money to find out.

I strongly recommend listening to AccuBroadway (the Broadway Channel of AccuRadio for free internet radio) or other streaming stations (I just really like this one's features). They let you choose what era or composer or such and you can listen to all sorts of songs you might not otherwise find. It's one my favorite ways to look for new audition materials. Especially if you are looking for a specific era/composer. I'm always looking for new shows/songs and this way helps me

If you have Direct TV I believe that the Broadway Channel is 836... But I may be wrong. It's sponsored by XM Radio and has some cool features like telling you whether the show is currently on Broadway.

For synopsis, background, a list (but sadly not music) of songs, and composor info, try wikipedia. It rocks.
