Musical Archive

Here’s where you’ll find musicals that do not have cast albums or enough easily available information listed about them online. Most of the following musicals are not even available for licensing. But if licensing is possible, I’ll link it below.

If that’s not what you’re looking for, here’s Theatre Trip’s main Musical Database.
