Since its inception, the series has served as a forum in which up-and-coming (and already-there) musical theatre writers can present new work.In addition to offering sneak peaks at seven new shows in development, Bound for Broadway V will feature interviews
with the writing teams, and performances by Broadway stars such as Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Avenue
Q), Lisa Howard (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee),
Richard Todd Adams, Donna Lynne Champlin, Perry Ojeda,
Julie Rayburn, David Snyder and Melanie Vaughan.This year's Broadway Bound will offer performances from Marty (score by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, book by Rupert Holmes), The Frog Prince (book and
lyrics by Charles Leipart, music
by Eric Schorr), Doctor Sex (book, lyrics and music by
Larry Bortniker), The Story of my Life (book by Brian Hill,
music and lyrics by Neil Bartram), I Love You Because (words
by Ryan Cunningham, music by Josh Salzman), Heaven Knows (music
and lyrics by Charles Bloom) and The Twelve Days of Christmas (a musical revue conceived
and directed by Michael Scheman, with songs by many different
writers inspired by the carol of the title).
In past years, featured shows have gone on to success on and off-Broadway, among them Robert Lopez' and Jeff Marx's Tony Award-winning
Avenue Q, Sean Hartley and Jihwan Kim's Cupid
and Psyche, Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell's Musical
of Musicals, and David Evans and Douglas Cohen's Children's
Letters to God.
