In 1989 the Festival of New Musicals was created to provide a forum to celebrate the new musicals that were being produced and presented around the country. Since then, the Festival has introduced musical theatre producers to 300 musicals and 565 writers from around the world. More than 85% have gone on to subsequent readings, workshops, productions and tours; been licensed; and/or recorded on cast albums as a direct result of the Festival!

Held over two days in New York City every fall, the Festival produces 45-minute presentations of eight new musicals before an industry-only audience with the experience and resources to move the work forward.

FESTIVAL PURPOSE AND GOALS

In the short run, the Festival’s goal is to connect writers with producers, extend the development trajectory of presented musicals and establish new creative partnerships. The long-term goals are to expand the musical theatre repertoire, advance the musical theatre art form and support the field. 

  • Showcase quality new musicals representing the widest possible range of themes and styles
  • Nurture musical theatre creators of all identities and backgrounds
  • Encourage future development and productions of new musicals
  • Encourage a forum to spark new collaborations and ventures
