CHOREOGRAPHERS
2025 was BBM’s first year!! We hosted a showcase on April 27 & 28, 2025 at Gibney Studio Theater (280 Broadway, Manhattan, NY) to present Musical Theater work by up-and-coming creatives. The first night, our industry consultants (select industry professionals, producers, directors, and choreographers) came to see the performances and provide written and/or verbal feedback to each creative team.
The following day, each cast spent time in the theater space to workshop and apply notes given by consultants. Then, that evening, casts will perform their “edited” pieces in a showcase open to the public.
Each piece was professionally filmed at both performances for creatives and performers to have.
This is an annual opportunity that is free to participate.
Applications for Choreographers for the 2026 BBM Spring Showcase will open December 2025!
Things for choreographers to know!
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Maybe you have done a choreography showcase or two, maybe you have choreographed at small theater in your hometown, or perhaps you choreographed a high school musical. As long as you do not have significant experience in choreographing/assisting/associating at large regional theaters or in the city, this is the spot for you.
WHAT IS THIS?
Submit an application to create and present work at our Spring Showcase. Work is a maximum of 8-minutes long, and should be a representation of a full-musical number that would be found in a piece of musical theater. Pieces are asked to include singing in an effort for the choreographer to learn how to collaborate with a Music Director. Performers should be directed through singing, acting, and choreography to produce this performance. The Spring Showcase will be May 10, 11, & 12, 2026 at The Riverside Theater.
MUSIC DIRECTION?
BBM is so grateful to have a resident Music Director with our team.
HOW DOES CASTING WORK?
After a round of Virtual Auditions, overseen by the producers, the choreographers will be able to select their casts from a day of in-person callbacks.
HOW WILL REHEARSALS BE SCHEDULED?
Choreographers will be given a reimbursement stipend for their rehearsals. Rehearsal schedules will be confirmed before casting performers begins.
