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

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.

Which song: 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong' or 'That Little Man of Mine'
Hi,
We have the perusal for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but just wondered if you can please confirm which song Mrs Teavee/Mike sing? In the script part it has 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong', and in the score party has 'That Little Man of Mine' from the US Tour. Please could you confirm which one is used in the current licenced show?
Thanks,

Revised "Guys & Dolls"
Greetings,
I had heard through the grapevine that the revised version of Guys & Dolls is available to license. Please let me know. If it's not, has the original music be re-engraved using a music writing program such as Finale or Sibelius? The last time I did the show (20 years ago) it was in the "handwritten" jazz font which is very difficult to read for contemporary students.
Thanks,
B.

My high school would do this immediately! Why the R rating? To me, it would be easy to make this PG 13. Will it happen?

Pricing and Flexibility with the Book
Hello everyone
I'm looking to do a small local production of the musical Tick Tick Boom. I've never gone through the process of acquiring the rights and running a show, as I have usually been an actor on stage and therefore, have a few questions. How much money am I looking to spend on a smaller show such as this one? and what flexibility do I have with the book? Can I omit lines or make small changes to certain lines if it doesn't affect the story? And finally, am I able to buy the rights as a singular person as oppose to through a theatre company?
Thanks so much for the help everyone!

Do I need to choose which title I am licensing in advance?
Because of the flat rate set-up with a year to produce, are we able to apply to license 3-5 titles, but choose which ones we produce at a later date? I'd like to consider this for future classes and camps, but the students would need to have a voice in the decision.

Hi there, we are based in the UK. We have the license to run Kinky Boots in Sept 22 and I am looking to use the rehearsal app (backing tracks). I am just trying to find out how much that would be (your website is very confusing!) Can you confirm cost (in UK pounds?)
