Next on Stage Season 4

In celebration of BroadwayWorld's 20th anniversary, Next On Stage, Broadway's biggest national competition for high school and college students, is back bigger and better for its fourth season! This season's top contenders might find themselves closer to Broadway than ever... literally!

In Spring 2020, when Broadway was dark and student productions across the country were being canceled due to the COVID pandemic, BroadwayWorld saw an opportunity to shine a spotlight on young performers across the country who were otherwise sidelined. Next On Stage was born out of the hope of providing a platform for some of the outstanding talent that will grace the Broadway stages of the future. Since its launch, the series has enjoyed three seasons and showcased the voices of hundreds of young people across the country.

Now, after a two-year hiatus, we're inviting high school and college-aged students to enter by submitting videos of themselves performing a song from the musical theatre canon.

Submissions for the contest are now open through November 9th. The first round of voting will begin on November 13th, and the first results show will air on December 1st.

Judges for the fourth season include J. Elaine Marcos (A Chorus Line), Lesli Margherita (Matilda), Kyle Taylor Parker (Kinky Boots), Courtney Reed (Moulin Rouge!), Kate Rockwell (Mean Girls), and Michael James Scott (Aladdin).
