It’s probably a good thing, on Tony Announcement Tuesday, to remember where the shows that wind up on Broadway come from.

That said, some outposts of musical development have a slightly better track record than others; witness the National Music Theater Conference, run out of the O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, which developed Nine and Avenue Q, among others, and just yesterday announced the selections for this year’s NMTC. The four – When We Met, String, A Good Man and The ToyMaker – are rolled out on a staggered schedule; things get going June 20. (FULL ARTICLE: Frank Rizzo, Hartford Courant)
