BIG NEWS! The Four Finalists are Announced!

Manhattan Theatre Mission is thrilled to announce the FOUR FINALISTS who will be participating in our 2nd Annual Festival of New Musicals!

Manhattan Theatre Mission is committed to nurturing growing artists and our New Musicals Festivals is just the place for that. We were blown away by the outstanding musicals we received this year! Our choice was incredibly difficult but this is guaranteed to be an incredible night of theatre. 

So here's the deal: The final four will present 20 minute excerpts of their shows as a staged reading. Our guest judges, along with MTM's administrative board, will decide on awards for Best Composition, Best Book, Best Lyrics, Best Actor/Actress, Best Musical Direction and a few other awards. The audience will select their favorite, and lastly, ONE show will be crowned "Best Musical." MTM will produce the "Best Musical" in our 2014-2015 season! 

Oh... and for everyone involved, there will be an exciting cocktail party following the event! 

HERE ARE THE FINAL FOUR:

Queen of the West

Mayday

Eddie and the Palaceades

We will be highlighting each of the new musicals on our blog and website over the next few weeks! This year, we are even starting individual fundraising campaigns for each show! So, if you can't come to the festival but would like to make a financial contribution to the future production of your favorite show, stay tuned!!! This line-up is sure to make for a great evening of great theatre!
