Off Broadway On Campus

Fans of Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, the young songwriting team that brought us “Be My Friend” (The Facebook Song), should check out their newly revamped website. There is video, some audio clips, and a lot more sheet music for sale, some of it from the new version of Edges that opened in Albany last year.

Also, if word hasn’t gotten around to all OBOCians yet, David Lu found masterful transcriptions of the music from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

OBOC is the University of Rochester’s only musical theater performing group. Each semester, we present a musical revue with numbers from a great variety of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The revues are produced, directed, choreographed, accompanied, musically arranged, costumed, and performed by students.

Auditions play a role in casting smaller numbers, but the group is open to anyone who enjoys musical theater. Celebrating our tenth anniversary this fall, our ranks have swelled to over seventy singers, dancers, and musicians!

Check out the side panels to learn more about the group. In the articles below, we keep each other up to date about musical theater happenings on campus, in the local area, and on the Internet.
