Broadway Junior's Audition Scenes

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

My favorite show to watch on Independence Day is Meredith Wilson's The Music Man. Yes, I know it doesn't have much to do with our nation's independence -- in fact it's about a singing con-artist. However, because of the fireworks, the picnics, and the Mainstreet U.S.A. setting, the film has become a 4th of July tradition for me and my family.

I was just reading about Broadway Junior's version of The Music Man Jr., and while I was visiting their website, I discovered a wonderful resource for drama teachers and theater students. At Broadway Junior's "Audition Central," visitors can read character profiles and short scenes in order to prepare for auditions. Their kid friendly musicals range from Annie to Willy Wonka Junior, and "Audition Central" gives young performers all the insight they need to land a leading role. Good idea, Broadway Junior!
