Created by the League of American Theatres and Producers' Research Department, The Internet Broadway Database provides an array of information about past and current Broadway shows. The database is a result of ongoing collection development by the League, based primarily on theatre programs (generally from a show's opening night). Other information is harvested from media reports, interviews, and the League's archives. The goal of the site is to "serve as a comprehensive history of Broadway for the benefit of League members, press, theatre professionals and enthusiasts." The site features a list of shows currently on Broadway, as well as a comprehensive advanced search page that allows users to dig up information on past productions.
