Bringing the world of theatre nearer to school kids Broadway Junior is a collection pf some of the Broadway's best cherished moments, specially designed for families and children. It features highlights from the original Broadway versions of The Music Man, Into the Woods and Dear Edwina and the audience is enthralled by the wonderful musical full of singing and dancing. The show is immensely popular and tickets are hard to come by. Book you tickets online in advance.

Every each one of the shows included in the Broadway Junior collection has been suitably tailored for young performers. All the songs have been transposed into appropriate keys for the being in sync with young voices and the complete musical is highly condensed. These shows aim to conserve the integral spirit of the complete original classic works, at the same time as eliminating the elements which would generally have been beyond the capabilities of most middle and junior schools students.

The show is a great success and in the process, it becomes quite clear that everybody's contribution and effort into the show be it whether on stage or off, is enough to make them a star. The show has hand-picked cast, which is mainly comprised of talented, active young professional artistes from all over the country.

Among the plays that it includes The Music Man is an all time favorite American musical classic that follows fast talking and traveling salesman Harold Hill as he goes around River City, Iowa, and falls madly in love with the beautiful and willful librarian, Marian Paroo. The condensed adaptation retains the original flavor while making it more enjoyable for a younger audience. The next play Into the Woods is a enchanting creation that intertwine together Brothers Grimm fairytales stories into a wonderful lively musical. We find a baker and his wife seeking to come out a witch's spell by misleading and stealing from the likes of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood etc. On the other hand Dear Edwina is the classic story of perky 13-year-old Edwina Spoonapple, who would try to do just about anything to be part of the oh so attractive Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza festival. Even as her siblings have proof of their several accomplishments, our poor Edwina has nothing to show for herself. The Broadway Junior wonderfully portrays her struggle to get into limelight.

A brilliantly and fantastically presented version of the popular Broadway plays, the junior collection is a pleasure to watch. Go and see it for yourself and get tickets for your kids and loved ones too.
