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 ages 14+!
Some shows have content advisories for children under 18; others have roles for kids!

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

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. Application closing dates are final.

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.
