MAY 4-5, 2024: LIVE IN NYC, BKA SPRING PERFORMANCE WEEKEND!

LIVE, IN-PERSON, IN NYC: BROADWAY KIDS AUDITIONS 2024 SPRING PERFORMANCE WEEKEND!

We love our community of young artists and families and are excited to announce our 2-day Spring Performance Weekend in New York City!

-The goal of this weekend is to get our artists working in a studio and on stage in New York City. The result will be an elegant event at one of New York City’s finest venues, Chelsea Table and Stage.

-This intensive will get you working in the studio with top Broadway guest artists and BKA staff, working with an accompanist and directors on new material that can then be used for future auditions and performance opportunities.

-The BKA team will be creating an original song cycle concert utilizing musical theatre and pop/rock repertoire that showcases each individual artist. Cast members may be broken down into two groups, ages 8-12 and 13-18 for some rehearsals. 

-Once registered, BKA will ask for performance videos of your work and choose a NEW solo song, duet or monologue (for non-singers) specifically chosen for you to work on during the intensive that will be part of the final performance. 

-Included in your tuition will be learning tracks and marked sheet music, one thirty minute virtual session with our musical director and one thirty minute virtual session with our director.

-In addition, there will be a group song with sheet music and learning tracks provided. 

-There is also an optional livestream to watch the show with a beautiful video of the entire evening to use for your promotion.

-DAY ONE will include movement workshops, group song classes taught by our top BKA coaches and industry professionals, and staging. (SEE EXAMPLE SCHEDULE BELOW)

-DAY TWO will be in the performance space with staging rehearsals, tech and a performance run through. Final show will be at 1pm EST (subject to change—-SEE EXAMPLE SCHEDULE).

BKA does not require an audition for this intensive, but we recommend you discern if your child is ready for a professionally focused performance program before signing up! In order to put a show together in this manner, artists will be expected to have all materials memorized and well rehearsed after their music and acting coaching’s so that when arriving at rehearsal on Saturday they are ready to receive staging and additional direction as our team creates the show specifically for our cast.

This workshop is for educational purposes only and cannot and will not be treated as an audition.
