A cornerstone event of the non-profit organization, the evening is an annual culmination of the Broadway Dreams mission to build a bridge between the Broadway community and the stars of tomorrow. The showcase represents the top 5% of the organization’s students and affords them the unique opportunity to perform for every major Broadway casting agency and other top entertainment industry decision-makers. 

Directed by two-time Emmy Award nominee Spencer Liff, the students performed works created and staged by Broadway pros, including Tony Award-winner Alex Newell, Nicholas Rodriguez, Sarah Hartmann, Mimi Scardulla, Warren Egypt Franklin, Antwon Collier, Tristan Hill, Alexia Acebo Carter, Jason Goldston, singer/songwriter Jeremy Schonfeld, John Viggiano, Andre Lima Gress, Franco Odhiambo, and casting director Rachel Hoffman, CSA. 

The technical team for the Broadway Dreams Showcase included musical direction by Jeremy Robin Lyons, costumes by Kelly LeVine and Ryan Park, technical direction by Keith Bergeron, and assistance from Grace Slear, Andrew McCloud, Scarlett Jacques, and Asantewa Adigun-Bomani.

Now in its 18th year, Broadway Dreams has inspired more than 20,000 students in more than 8 countries, awarded more than $1.8M in scholarships, and booked more than 250 professional breakthrough jobs since 2018 alone.
