Broadway Junior Project
Music Theatre International’s Broadway Junior® Project provides schools that lack arts programming with the FREE training and materials necessary to present a Broadway Junior® musical production in their school. The goals of the Project are to:
- Assist schools that currently have no full time arts specialist to create an infusion of the arts and an arts culture within the school
- Build a strong community through the arts that includes the school, parents and members of the community at large
- Engage as many students as possible in all aspects and areas of the arts
- Encourage the connection of arts programming to curriculum including assessment
Schools interested in being part of Music Theatre International’s Broadway Junior Project must fill out an application to be one of three winning schools selected for 2016/2017.
The three winning schools will receive:
- A license to perform a Broadway Junior musical of their choice
- A ShowKit® of materials that supplies teachers with all the resources they will need to direct, choreograph and teach music like a true professional
- Professional development workshops for the schools’ teachers

Broadway Junior musicals are 60-minute adaptations of classic and contemporary shows perfect for middle-school aged performers.
Browse the collection of musicals.
About the Professional Development Workshops
Teams of teachers from each of the selected schools will participate in Professional Development workshops in a variety of areas lead by Master Teachers from educational theatre experts, iTheatrics.
These workshops will provide training in all areas of musical theatre production as well as curriculum connections and community involvement. Throughout the entire process of rehearsal and performance a local professional Production Advisor selected by MTI will offer guidance in these same areas while continuing to empower the teaching teams to run the program by themselves.

inquire about license
Dear MTI,
Hello, I am Mia Park at Our Musical Story (OMS)
OMS is amateur theater company in South Korea. It was newly established in 2023, and in July 2023, it obtained a license from MTI and conducted the musical "Next to Normal".
I would like to proceed with the performance by obtaining a license from MTI again this time, but I am inquiring about the license on the website because there is an error.
1. IF/THEN
2. EVIL DEAD
3. KINKY BOOTS
4. MAMMA MIA!
5. SWEENEY TODD
6. SOMETHING ROTTEN!
I would like to inquire about the acquisition of 6 musical licenses above. If you have an email that we can contact directly and contact the person in charge, please forward it.
All the best of success, Have a greet day.
Sincerely Mia Park

Into the Woods - performance tracks without piano?
My company is interested in purchasing performance tracks for an upcoming production of Into the Woods, but we would very much like the flexibility for me as the MD to play live piano along with the track as well as run the tracks from Qlab. This way I can still conduct the show from the piano for the cast, but also fire cues in Qlab as we go, and provide an element of 'live' music along with the tracks, perhaps even dropping out the tracks and just doing solo piano at moments. Is there a possibility of purchasing the performance tracks without the piano part included in them?
