Broadway just seemed destined to light up social media. As a performance art, it just lends itself to the medium so well. Twitter has no shortage of Broadway-related profiles. The only problem is, how do you sift through the ever growing number of personalities so your feed doesn’t overwhelm you? We have you covered. We’ve boiled down the Broadway Twitter universe into an essential 25 to follow.

@AudraEqualityMC

Audra McDonald is a Broadway superstar and her Twitter profile offers some great insight into her life as both an everyday person and a Broadway actress. You can look forward to daily tweets that center around Broadway shows, charity events, everyday humor, and everything Audra. Plus, she is quite interactive so you might be able to get a response or a retweet; a neat treat for anyone who loves the actress as much as I do.

@Broadwaycom

This is Broadway.com’s official Twitter page, and it is packed with all the Broadway news your heart desires. Stay up to date about the hottest shows, and get a direct link to exciting features daily.

@BroadwayGirlNYC

Sometimes it is refreshing to get the perspective of a Broadway fan, and that is what you get from @BroadwayGirlNYC. Jump into her head for the latest reviews, gossip, and news from someone who is essentially just like you.

@BroadwaySpotted

This profile is really fun because it’s like a Broadway celebrity GPS. When a Broadway star is spotted in public, this profile will be the first to let you know. Perhaps if you’re nearby you too can spot your favorite stars in person. Just keep your inner stalker in check.

@BroadwayTours

I am a little partial to our Twitter feed. As well as posting new commentary each week on the Broadway scene, we also scour the Internet seeking out the most interesting Broadway articles, videos and everything in between to keep our followers talking and plugged in daily. Give us a look.

@BroadwayWorld

BroadwayWorld.com’s official Twitter page gives you up to date access to the largest and most comprehensive network of Broadway news, photos, videos, and features. You’re not a real Broadway fan if you aren’t following this profile.

@DavidCote

Self-proclaimed early-career playwright and opera librettist David Cote, offers tweets that are as valuable as his theatre reviews in Time Out and his critiques on NY1’s On Stage.

@KChenoweth

Kristin Chenoweth is another Broadway starlet that is worth a follow. Stay up to date about what’s happening with the star including upcoming shows, outings and appearances, and personal tidbits that serve as deeper insights into her personality. Trust me; she is just as charming on Twitter as she is in real life.

@NewYorkTheater
Jonathan Mandell is a journalist and theatre critic who consistently engages theatre lovers in conversation. He is definitely a good person to follow if you like to swap ideas with others.

@NYTimesTheater

Senior theatre editor for the New York times Erik Pipenburg provides quality theatre tweets to all @nytimesarts followers. While the theatre related news is great, I love this Twitter feed because of the show reviews. Honest and transparent, you’ll know for certain whether or not you should see a specific show after reading one of these reviews.

@OfficialALW

Do you love Andrew Lloyd Webber? Then you’ll absolutely love this profile managed by his private office which features pictures, news, and occasional tweets from Webber himself.

This is a great source of theater based information. You’ll be able to stay up to date on news, ticket offers, and original videos. Plus they often do giveaways which is a great incentive.

@TheBwayLeague

The Broadway League is the national trade association for the Broadway industry. Their profile is filled with a host of events, deal, giveaways, and information galore from one of the most informed Broadway sources out there.

@TheTonyAwards

But even when it’s not Tony Award season this profile can offer a lot for those of you who like to be kept up to date with Tony Award winners and Tony Award winning shows. You’ll get a behind the scenes look of the biggest night on Broadway as well as photos, videos, and other insider looks at the shows/actors you love when you follow @TheTonyAwards.
