Who is On Broadway For?
ON BROADWAY is a summer musical theatre intensive for all musical theatre artists ages 11 and up. One of the beauties of being an artist is the ability to grow, reinvent, and evolve at any age. Our faculty members carry a wealth of knowledge and expertise to be shared with students of all ages.

APPLICATION PROCESS:
Prepare a 2-3 minute application video including:
32 bar cut of your favorite musical theatre song! Please use digital or live accompaniment.
A short musical theatre dance combination (this can be something you've learned in the past or an original piece that brings you joy!).
Upload your video to a secure platform (Youtube, Vimeo, etc.) and prepare a private link for sharing.
*Please note: This does not need to be filmed professionally. A smart phone in landscape mode will produce a great video! This is not an audition, merely a tool to help us prepare the most optimal training experience. Most importantly, choose material you love and have fun! :)2. Once you have your video link, continue to our application page linked below. Here you will have the opportunity to tell us a little about yourself and link your video application.
3. After submitting your online application, email your headshot and resume to admin@broadwaybeginnings.com (headshots do not need to be taken by a professional- a smart phone photo against a blank wall will do the trick). This will secure your spot in the program. A deposit link will be sent once all materials are received. Deposits must be made within 2 weeks of receiving the link to secure your registration.
4. Application deadline: April 15, 2024. We value small class sizes, so space is limited. It is recommended that you apply as soon as possible to secure your spot.
TRAVEL
Getting to NYC- We recommend flying into LGA, JFK, or EWR. Airfare is not included in tuition.

TESTIMONIALS
“I could write pages about what a wonderful experience ON BROADWAY was for not only my daughter but for me, too! From start to finish, this experience was thoughtfully planned out and executed. Elizabeth is not only an extremely talented performer and teacher, she’s also an incredibly special person. She has a way of talking and listening that makes you feel important and every single one of the guest artists that taught during the intensive had that same quality. The shared excitement, the “we’re all in this special moment together” feeling, it was beautiful to witness. The students even had a wellness coach that ensured that not only their bodies were well cared for but their minds were too! This was the first time my daughter visited NYC and it was more magical than I could have dreamed it to be. We are so grateful for Elizabeth and Broadway Beginnings for this amazing experience.”
Emily, Broadway Beginnings parent
“My New York experience was so fun, and amazing. I learned new things, new dances, and got amazing feedback from incredible teachers. I definitely would do this experience again. It was so helpful with my singing, dancing, acting everything that you want to do On Broadway.”
Charlie, Broadway Beginnings student
“Elizabeth has been a mentor of mine since my freshman year of high school and I can confidently say that I would not be the person and artist I am today if I didn’t have her guidance and support along my journey. As her vocal student, my technique grew immensely and she is the reason why I have been so successful in college and why I am able to choose such challenging and advanced material. Working with her is an incredibly special and unique opportunity because I truly believe there is no one out there that will support, challenge, and teach you in the way that she is able to.”
Abby, Broadway Beginnings student
