Patrick Honoré

Patrick Honoré runs the magazine broadwayguy.com and has been a musical theater critic for 15 years, sarting as the French Musical Corespondant for the paper edition of Musical Stages in London, which led to his writing for Musical Theatre in Review, its digital follow-up.  He was the French corespondant for the German magazine Musicals, the last hold out for paper magazines devoted to musical theater.  And he has also written reviews on Broadway and London musicals for musicalavenue.fr in French.  He joined the Broadway World team 6 years ago.

Patrick fell in love with musical theater when he was 13 years old, and has since been visiting London monthly and New York biannually, which explains his encyclopedic knowledge of the genre and its history.  His tastes favor the Golden Age style of musical, and his favorite composers are Jerry Herman, Kander and Ebb, Cy Coleman, and Stephen Sondheim, whose songs he regularly performs in Parisian cafés.
