Why
is the cast and crew list for a particular show
incomplete? |
| |
We are working backwards
through history as we enter data. Due to the
enormity of this undertaking, not all credits
have been confirmed to date. At the top of
incomplete shows is a note that we have not
yet fully entered this particular show.

How
can I update or correct data in the database? |
| |
We
welcome corrections and updates. Have you read our Policies?
We will need
verification of submissions of cast/crew participation
in a show (a copy of the theatre program usually
suffices). Please fax or mail the verification along with a note explaining the correction/addition to

How
can I contact a person in the database? |
| |
We do not have contact
information for the people in our database.
We are unable to forward messages to any of
the people on IBDB.
If you are interested in contacting someone
who is involved with a currently-running Broadway
show, you can write to him/her in care of
the theatre.

Why
don't you have a person's entire resume on the
site? |
| |
At this time, our
site includes only shows that played in Broadway
houses in New York. We hope to expand the
site in the future, but for the time being
we are committed to completing the Broadway
information as fully as possible.

What
other enhancements to the site can I expect? |
| |
Each week, the database
expands with more information, so keep checking

additional advanced search functions, and
more! Do you have an idea for the site? Let
us know!

How much is my program/poster/etc worth? |
| |
We have no expertise in valuing programs, posters, or other memorabilia. Try a professional appraiser, or try listing the item on an online auction site such as ebay.com. The short answer is that an item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. |
