The Edinburgh Festival is over, and for the fifth year Broadway Baby was in attendence to bring you reviews of the best (and worst) of it. We've already been out and about this year at The Brighton Festival Fringe and The International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival, and we covered nearly twice as many shows this year than we did in 2007.
We were back in the Scottish capital with our largest team of reviewers so far, as well as our Vodcast team bringing video summaries of the hot shows (which last year racked up an impressive 36,000 views on YouTube alone!) and the return of our popular Broadway Baby Offline review freesheet, which was at the major venues throughout the month.
But that's not all. Broadway Baby went through a major upgrade, redesigned with new social networking features bringing the profile elements that have always been a part of the site together with the interaction that is the Fringe. If you haven't already done so, we invite you to create your profile today, and start getting more out of Broadway Baby.
