Broadway Musical Scripts
How to go about finding a producer/backer for a Broadway musical?
With no previous experience other than writing, acting and directing for straw hat theater, I have written a musical that I believe could be the next Broadway smash. Is there some serious way to farm out the script/concept to backers or to find a producer willing to entertain the script/concept?
Find out who is producing shows that seem to fit the genre you are going for, google them and do research on them, and send them the show with an amazing cover letter/music. They want the next best smash as much as you do – but they receive a LOT of unsolicited entries, so you need to make it shine.
Most musicals, however, take years to develop – so getting in touch with directors you’re interested in may spark some interest.

Godspell $4.96 Jesus was a pretty popular guy in New York in 1971; as the ersatz star of both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar. If Superstar was a little dark, Godspell was positively frothy; and its portrayal of Jesus as a hippie clown was part of its goofy charm. Another part was Stephen Schwartz’s nifty score; a little naive and dated, but also as hummable as anything in history. Slap this in the CD player… |

Annie [VHS] $4.20 Disney’s 1999 TV production of the classic 1977 musical Annie is remarkable for its casting of stage actors rather than ratings trump cards. Tony winners Audra McDonald (Grace), Alan Cumming (Rooster), and Kristin Chenoweth (Lily) join four-time nominee Victor Garber (Daddy Warbucks) and Les Misérables veteran Alicia Morton (Annie) to tell the tale of the Depression-era orphan who gets a taste of… |

Studs Terkel’s Working (Broadway Theatre Archive) [VHS] $13.98 Steelworkers, waitresses, and parking garage attendants hardly make the stuff of the traditional Broadway musical. But their voices form the songs and monologues of this plotless paean to the American working stiff, inspired by the bestselling oral history by Studs Terkel. Adapted from the stage production by composer Stephen Schwartz, this 1982 American Playhouse production has a pleasingly… |

Into the Woods $7.33 Fractured fairy tales of a darker hue provide the remarkable context for Into the Woods, which deconstructs the Brothers Grimm by way of Rod Serling. While the faces and names are familiar, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and company inhabit a sylvan neighborhood in which witches and bakers are next-door neighbors, handsome princes from once-parallel fables are competitive (and equal… |

Thoroughly Modern Millie $6.76 Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo (“Oh, banana oil”), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are b… |

Funny Girl $4.19 Ah, Barbra. Of all her onscreen personas, she sparkles in none as she does in her role as 1930s comedian Fanny Brice in the musical Funny Girl. Portraying the life of this star of stage and radio, Brice preens and prances and sings, captivating her audience both onscreen and off. Fanny Brice started life on the Lower East Side of New York, the daughter of a Jewish saloon owner. Not the prettiest g… |
