The Balusters

The 2026 Spring season is here and as the 79th Annual Tony Awards approach, music from our favorite shows is slowly becoming available to stream. From the mountains of Merano to the shores of Santa Carla; the hills of New Rochelle to the streets of New York City, get into the spirit of this Broadway season. Your Broadway belt-session awaits!

It is the 79th birthday of music legend and theatre icon Elton John. In celebration of the big day, jam to this playlist featuring his theatre work along with his songs as featured in musicals.

Spring is about to spring forward! Tonight, we will roll our clocks forward for the start of Daylight Savings Time, which means that tomorrow, we'll lose an hour. Get your morning going early with BroadwayWorld's specially curated list of showtunes to jumpstart your brand new day.
