When: This event took place on October 26 - 27, 2023
We recently had the opportunity to attend NAMT's 35th Annual Festival of New Musicals. While we can't talk specifically about the shows which were part of the festival, we are happy to report that there are a lot of exciting shows in the works. This year's festival was more diverse than ever not only in the shows themselves and the casting of those shows but behind the scenes as well. There was a show with an all-Latinx cast, a show with an all-Black cast, a show with an all-Asian cast, and a show with a mostly female-identifying cast. The majority of the directors and at least half the musical directors were female as well.
Subject matter covered in the show covered included family dramas, historical dramas, and more. There was even a show or two, unlike anything we'd ever seen before. We hope to see full productions of some of these exciting new musicals soon, and we look forward to what they come up with for next year's festival.

Tune in tomorrow for this week's Sunday Scoop.
