Books Gone Broadway
Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! (Note on curation: I don't want to add books to the PB database unnecessarily, so after I finish this list I'll pin a comment for any titles that were not on PB and any titles that aren't an obvious connection! Also I'm using IBDB as Broadway confirmation check.)

I love this title
I love this list 😍 I love theatre and musicals so this is perfect
Absolutely love love love this!
Feels like The Phantom of the Opera and Wicked are obvious adds here… also The Secret Garden, The Outsiders, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Goodbye to Berlin (Cabaret), Ragtime, Oliver Twist, The Notebook….
Oh 1000000% agree! I'm just going in alphabetical order so I don't accidentally miss any of the ones I'm not familiar with!
OH lol I didn’t realize I was this early lmao
No worries! I'm also going slow because work keeps getting in the way (but my work should really understand where it's at on my priorities list hahaha)
