As y'all know, the DVD documentary SHOWBUSINESS: THE ROAD TO BROADWAY is released this Tuesday, October 16th. The DVD follows the path of four Broadway shows -- WICKED, TABOO, CAROLINE OR CHANGE, and AVENUE Q -- from the early stages of conception and workshops, all the way until the 2004 Tony awards and beyond. Kristin is featured quite a bit in the selections covering WICKED, and it is a very interesting and informative (not to mention entertaining and fun!) look at how a Broadway show comes together. As such, we are thrilled to be able to offer two lucky fanclub members the chance to own a copy of this DVD, autographed by Kristin herself!
Sometime this weekend, we will be posting a list of twenty questions, all about the four shows featured in the documentary. Members will then submit their answers via email (coordinator.glitterstaff@gmail.com), and the two members who answer the most questions correctly will each win a DVD. If any members tie for questions answered correctly, we will put all the tied names into a hat, and randomly draw the winners.
Keep your eyes peeled for the questions, and happy answering!
