Custom Broadway Exclusive in NYC

SUMMER INTENSIVE

Broadway Custom provides training for teens and preteens by Broadway professionals. Our personalized, individual training strengthens all musical theatre performance skills. You will be working with seasoned Broadway professionals with insider access and experience. 

JOIN OUR INTENSIVE

Our Intensive students have taken class with Broadway stars, met Elphaba from Wicked, toured backstage and onstage at a Broadway show, and learned dance combinations from current Broadway cast members from various musicals. Together, we'll experience the excitement of Broadway.

Each Intensive Participant receives an individual resume. (Yes, we create your resume from scratch together.) We invite industry professionals—agents, casting directors, producers—to speak with us during the week, and we create a final group performance as well.

Some Intensive electives include: Audition Technique, Accents and Dialects, Tap, Voiceovers, the Business of Broadway, and more.

Individual Skype consultations with the Artistic Director prior to the big week ensures that each student is prepared with  personalized performance material.
