Director's Note

Welcome to Next Stop, Broadway. Every year the graduating seniors of the WMU Music Theatre Performance Program travel to New York City to perform a Showcase for Theatrical Agents, Casting Directors, and other industry professionals in order to get a jump-start on their careers in the business. After working passionately for four years, this is an exceptional opportunity to audition in the big time. Many of our past graduates have in fact booked agents and gigs directly from their performance in Showcase. Eighteen years ago, we began the Next Stop, Broadway performances to feature our graduating seniors performing their Showcase as the opening act for an exciting Broadway performer who in turn would be in residence on campus for a week, working with the seniors on their songs and giving them invaluable advice about entering the professional field.
