  • All completed video audition submissions will be reviewed by Camp Broadway’s management and/or creative team and evaluated based on the specific requirements for each performance event(s).
  • Videos are reviewed on a rolling basis.  This means that Camp Broadway’s team will review the audition submissions and extend an invitation to ensemble members as video submissions are completed – so it’s advantageous to submit early!

TESTIMONIALS

My daughter recently performed for the 5th time at Carnegie Hall with Camp Broadway and the NY Pops. Such an amazing experience for our performers! The weekend is jam-packed with training, workshops, rehearsal, and fun! And the NY Pops Spring Gala is a wonderful evening of spectacular Broadway performances and, of course, the Camp Broadway Kids! Too bad my daughter will be too old next year!!

My son David has performed in two extraordinary events with Camp Broadway – Rocktopia on Broadway and NY Pops 35th Birthday Gala at Carnegie Hall. He says both experiences were the best experiences he has ever had in his entire life! The staff and all the attendees were fantastic and the entire process from beginning to end was incredible. He can’t wait until the next one! Thank you to everyone involved with Camp Broadway for giving kids these opportunities!!!
