What is Showcase?

Showcases are one-night-only, symphonic-style performances of Broadway shows in their entirety, featuring full orchestra, SATB chorus, and lead roles. 

Shows are assembled in three days or less on the week of the event, and performed on-book by passionate members of the theatre & music community.

For participant, music and rehearsal guides are given one month in advance for individual preparation.

Who can participate?

Anyone with a passion for musical theatre! 

AZMTO does not have participant membership, which means that every show is cast with a different group. Individuals can participate as schedules allow.

We suggest participants ages 14+ for family-friendly shows and 18+ for shows with content advisories. Many shows have roles for children as well!

The only limits to chorus participants is how many can fit on our stage (100+). Orchestra sizes may have certain limitations due to the number of instrument books available.

How do I audition?

AZMTO doesn’t hold formal auditions. Instead, we have a 5-minute online application that must be resubmitted for each show. 

Application links for Showcases are provided through email, our website (www.azmto.org) and social media, and are open for a few weeks. All casting for leads, chorus, and instrumentalists are made a few days after applications close. Application closing dates are final.

Where are events held?

Central United Methodist Church
1875 N. Central Ave.
Phoenix, AZ 85004

What does it cost?

Applications are always free, but participation in the shows costs $30. We ask for this contribution directly after casting to confirm your role/chair. 

The sooner you confirm, the sooner you will receive music!

Does AZMTO need instrumentalists?

YES! Showcases are performed with a full complement of instrumentalists. We even expand string sections to create a truly symphonic sound. 

AZMTO is always looking for passionate instrumentalists who enjoy developing their musical theatre skills. 

While we ask for a $30 participation fee, limited stipends can become available for orchestra, depending on particular chair & show needs.

SUPPORT AZMTO!
The power of arts education inspires a thriving community.
