Broadway Gems Tested: Best Songbooks vs. Classics Choosing the right Broadway companion—whether it’s a comprehensive songbook or a classic collection—can turn a casual fan into a die-hard enthusiast. When faced with options like The Best Broadway Songs Ever - 6th Edition, a scratch-off poster, or even on-screen performances from The Ed Sullivan Show, how do you decide? The Best Broadway Songs Ever - 6th Edition is a no-nonsense treasury, packed with 85 piano/vocal/guitar arrangements—think The Sound of Music meets Hamilton in one neat package. It’s the musician’s best friend, offering accessible versions of iconic tunes. Meanwhile, the 100 Musical Theater Shows Scratch Off Poster is pure sensory indulgence: scratch away to reveal titles from My Fair Lady to Wicked, a tactile way to engage with Broadway history. But where does the Original Cast Performances DVD from The Ed Sullivan Show fit in? It’s the closest you’ll get to seeing classic numbers come alive, showcasing the magic of early Broadway television. And let’s not forget the obscure gems in Broadway’s Lost Treasures III—those Tony-nominated songs you didn’t know you needed. So, which takes the crown? For eternal classics, nothing beats the versatility of a songbook. But for pure inspiration? Nothing compares to watching legends perform live on screen. In the end, it’s about experience—whether through notes, scratches, or scenes.
