On behalf of Music Theatre International (MTI), we grant schools and theatres around the world the rights to perform the largest selection of great musicals from Broadway and beyond. HLA is particularly dedicated to the idea of theatre as education. In 1997, MTI created the MTI Broadway Junior Collection® for younger performers. With an MTI Broadway Junior Collection® show, putting on a musical will be the most cost-effective program you can establish for your organisation— and it has clear benefits for all involved. For once, here’s a project that can involve a nearly unlimited number of students without costing an arm and a leg. Ensembles in MTI Broadway Junior Collection® shows can be as numerous as 100 students, making the material’s extremely affordable. Teachers won’t have to spend hours writing original musicals to fit their students’ acting skills and vocal ranges. The process of putting on a show cultivates school spirit and generates community support. Curriculum Connections: A musical helps students make connections across a variety of subjects. Teachers can use the musical as context in teaching History, Science, and English. Art, Music, and Physical Education classes can be geared towards creating props, learning songs, and practicing dance steps. Over 30,000 Success Stories and Growing Since 1997, over 30,000 productions of shows from the MTI Broadway Junior Collection® have taught kids and entertained audiences around the world. The success of our shows is best measured in the self-confidence, discipline, character, cooperation and self-esteem instilled in the children who have participated in the shows, as they master the diverse skills necessary to present a musical. 3 EDCAT2013_V1_Resized.indd 3 18/06/13 11:56 AM The MTI Broadway Junior Collection® divides into two categories to accommodate different age ranges: The music is written in keys appropriate for young voices. All shows can be expanded to 30-MINUTE accommodate as many MUSICALS performers as can fit FOR PERFORMANCE BY on your stage. PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS MTI KIDS shows are specifically designed for the energies (and attention spans!) of primary school students. At just half an hour in length, MTI KIDS shows are long enough to tell a complete story through script, song and dance, while short enough to be well within your cast’s abilities. MTI KIDS titles include adaptations of classic Disney films, such as Sleeping Beauty and The Aristocats, to beloved children’s books, such as A Year With Frog And Toad. 60-MINUTE MUSICALS FOR PERFORMANCE BY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS Picking a musical for middle-schoolers can be challenging. You not only have to find a show that will excite your students, you also have to make sure the score can accommodate young voices—some of which could change at any time. Successfully staging a two-hour musical can seem impossible! That’s why we created MTI JR. titles. Every MTI JR. show is specifically adapted for adolescent voices, saving your students from struggling through numbers they won’t be prepared to tackle for a few more years. Since all shows are roughly 60-70 minutes long, these adaptations are better suited for the stamina of younger actors—and the attention spans of younger audiences! MTI JR. shows range from Disney favorites (Beauty & The Beast, High School Musical) to Broadway classics (Fiddler On The Roof, Guys And Dolls) to modern works (Once On This Island, Dear Edwina). We also license shows written only for MTI JR., like Disney’s Mulan and Disney’s Winnie the Pooh KIDS. With a variety of subject matter and required skill levels, MTI JR. musicals redefine the middle school theatre 4 experience.
