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 Broadway Junior Musicals
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.

Would it be possible to make an arrangement of a musical
Dear Lady, Dear Sir,
I am the conductor of 2 great windbands in Switzerland. We are looking about doing a special event in 2021. One idea was to make a concert version (with choir and soloists) of a musical. How can we get the authorisation to make such arrangement for windband ? If possible. I was thinking about « les misérables ». Or if authorisation for « les misérables » is impossible, could it be possible for another show and which one?
Thank you fir your help,
best regards ?

Will The Music Man be available for licensing next year?
Hello all! When searching for a show to perform at our high school, we came across The Music Man. We would really love to perform it for our 2020 spring musical. However, we heard that The Music Man is getting revived this next season (opens October 15th, 2020). Can we still buy the licensing and perform it next May despite this? Or will it be removed from the list by then? Thanks so much!

can we hear a sample of the Performance Tracks before purchase?
We are trying to decide what resources to use with our show and would like to hear a sample of the Performance Tracks. I have downloaded the Syphonia onto my laptop to listen to the sample there. Just trying to get a feel for the sound.

United Kingdom Release date?
Hello MTI. Are there any plans for a UK release of the amateur performing rights for this hilarious piece of musical theatre? We Brits love nothing more than taking the "proverbial" out of ourselves and I would love to be able to put this production to a West Midlands audience.
I eagerly await the day we can and will be the first to sign up.
Thanks.

Not really a question, but wouldn't it be nice if the rights were opened up in time for several of us to plan a production around the 9/11 20th Anniversary?
