i love broadway because of the culture it brings. you get to know all kinds of different people, you see different races, traditions, and talents. there are so many intricate details of the theatre that you'll never know about, and that fascinates me. the fact that real life people are capable of such extraordinary things is astonishing. broadway is a place where people who would otherwise have never met get together and create something beautiful to share with the world. they tell stories that capture the imagination and stir new thoughts and ideas within people. it unites people around the world and crosses the divides of prejudice.
